Why are there so many Oakley Splice for sale (second hand) and why does nobody want them?

I wast looking for some vintage Oakley models online and I noticed there are a lot of Splice available in reasonable condition. Are they a newer model or why are there so many of them? And why do they not seem particularly popular?

Because most of them are fakes.

Splices are very popular, as long as they are authentic. Like @Numpty said, most of them are fake. A good way to tell the real ones is the screw heads. The real ones will have torx screws, the fake ones will have Philip screws. They were made in 2002-2005

Every time I see your username Malco, I think of the German Maico motorcycles. Especially without my readers on The Maico is a beast!

Every time I rode it, it always confused me that the kick starter was on the left. What awesome memories. @cabowabocalifornia may remember these

Thanks for the pointer! Definitely noticed a lot of fake eye jackets around but couldn’t tell with the splice.
