Why are Oakley Romeo's so expensive?

[Gabriel Clemente]

I do not see prices dropping on these now or in the future, due to what they are and the discontinuation of the X metal line. I you're planning on waiting for prices to fall I would find a very comfy chair .....

hahaha i know man im from Brazil here you can find oout romeo on less then 400$USD but not complete with box...

I agree with not dropping a lot in prices. They do go up and down in prices but not a lot . Your best bet is Tring to catch a good deal

This thread is from 3 years ago, but I guess still relevant today. @Gabriel Clemente I don't think you should wait on prices to drop. Doubt they will ever get less expensive than they are now. I could be wrong, but the trend seems to be that prices will keep going up since they were discontinued and for other reasons stated earlier in the thread. If you don't have all the money to spend at once, find a beat up pair, then slowly restore them.

You can find good deals, just be patient! It's a sweet frame, absolutely iconic to the old Oakley Brand. Love mine!

Ah, my other favorite... I usually wear a juliet but am almost as likely to wear a Mars. I love the crazy looks I get. In fact, my daily Rx frame is the Oakley Overlord, a round titanium frame inspired by the Mars. Even has little orbital intakes with tiny screws like a Juliet.

You should not consider buying a Romeo 1 (or any X-metal) an expense. You can resell the pair at any time and get all your money back. With time, you will even get more money back.

Having a nice pair of Romeos to use whenever you like is way more fun than saving $650 in a bank account at almost no interest. If you need the cash, just resell and buy a new pair later.

This goes for all the original X-metals, as demand will always be high. Plastic Oakleys and faux metals are a different story.

Hahaha! The things don't fall out of the sky

If the Gabriel wants one, he should get it because he wants it. I don't look at money, you like what you like. Resell value and stuff are a bonus.

If money is a problem, just get the coins together. But other than that, I leave money out of this hobby.
