Value of my mars crater and lens set

[RAGGEDYMAN]

Well my old age is causing me to retired my all time favorite pair of sunglasses in favor of prescription ones. It is my opinion that these are the best sunglasses made. I have owned them for 13or 14 years. I still have the original lenses but they are a bit rough. I have 4 sets of walleva polarized lenses. A red a blue a green/blueish and a very light tint. The have been much loved and well taken care of. Still has original earsocks nose pieces and unhinge cushions. I am not sure what the value of this lot is. I will be posting them on Ebay but need a starting point. I will miss these alot but know some one else can give them the wear they deserve.

Boxed serial matched Crater is around $600-650ish. Then you have to start taking off for ****.

Minus a few dollars because it needs a tune up.
Minus a few dollars because it needs new lenses.
Minus a few dollars because it needs new rubber.

I would also minus a few dollars because that box is nasty as ****. I know what it takes to get that sticky **** out of there without ruining the box and it aint easy.

All those extra aftermarket lenses add zero value. Well I'm sure there is someone out there that would like them but he ain't here.

The bottom line is it's worth whatever someone will pay for it. Your best bet is to put it on ebay with no reserve and free shipping and let it go. Take really good pictures and describe the **** out of it. You could put a buy it now for $400 and someone would probably buy it but if you auction it you'll likely get more. Just be clear and honest with your description, that **** will come back if you're not.


This is coming from a guy that wears a Crater every day. I have a few of them and they are among my favorites in my collection.

I can give them a good home if you want to donate them!

I will be trying to trade them for compressed time.

Oh. I’m not a wizard.

@SiRacer420 is pretty right on with price and assessment ! The aftermarket lenses probably actually hurt you here but eBay people don't care as much! It depends on how fast you want money !! If you were to ask $450 here you could probably sell in a couple days!!
Just remember the 10% fee on eBay and the 4% on PayPal lol
