Assuming they need new lenses and a tuneup, $300.

Hmm are lenses hard to get for these?

If you want OEM lens material you'll have to get custom cuts from @Chris A Hardaway or one of the other cutters.

Custom cut lenses in Ruby are tricky to find. But they can be found for about $95. They'd need to use a Gauge 8 lens donor from the current lineup to be restored.

$330 is a good deal for the buyer. $400 is a good deal for you.

So that means they're 4th gen. X-metal / Ruby is one of the more desirable colorways but a 4th gen example would be the least valuable from a collector's perspective. I'd put them at $350 - $400 optimistically IMHO. Some might go a little higher but not by much.

You should consider what you plan to do with them. If you plan to wear them, spending the extra money for a LNIB and complete collectible pair is a bit of a waste because that extra value is going to evaporate once you start wearing them. And then there's one less example in circulation. Alternatively you can find better deals in glasses-only sales that will better retain their value after you wear them. Or you could always get a pair that needs some work and build them up to your spec.

Whatever you want to do; it's your money. It doesn't sound like you're too concerned about the cost but hanging around here, one tends to build up a bit of a collection and it adds up - $900 can get the impatient man two pairs for $450 each or it can get the patient man three for $300 per...

+1. This.

Someone by me has a pair for $75
