$50.00 bucks for any pair of Oakleys. The only catch being it might take 3 months to get, but they say it usually takes less than a month?
Almost sounds to good to be true. With all the fake Oakleys (Foakleys) out there, I was just wondering if anyone new about this site or has ordered from them before. thanks! |

| Looks way too good to be true, but... | upNdown

A pair of racing jackets for $50 just seems too good to be true. |
| Dont order these unless you want to kiss $50 goodbye | marty

| i just emailed oakley to see if they're legitimate reseller | mergs
Jul 23, 2002 1:57 PM | | i'll reply when i get a reply
bet you an ellsworth its complete crap. |
| Of course they're not a legitimate Oakley reseller, did you read | upNdown
Jul 24, 2002 10:46 AM | | Did you read the site? The guy claims to scour the globe for failed businesses and buys their Oakley (and rayban) inventories from them. So by his own admission, he's not getting his inventory from Oakley.
It's almost the perfect scam, as far as I can tell. He offers you world class glasses for less than half price, and then offers a believable story as to how he can do that. He warns you that it could take up to 3 months for shipping, but then makes it more attractive by saying it usually only takes one. I'll bet he's gambling that after 3 months, either it's to late claim fraud or the consumer will think its too late, or they'd rather write off a $50 loss than admit they were stupid enough to believe something that was too good to be true.
Then again, maybe he's legitimate. Anybody want to pay $50 to find out? |
| nope! i don't have you're attention span to read that far | mergs
Jul 24, 2002 2:16 PM | | but i did email oakley |
| Probably legit... but.... | Chip
Jul 23, 2002 2:34 PM | | it says in the store policies that it takes the glasses 30-90 days to be delivered. That's a red flag right there. |
| REI Outlet has some Oakleys at discounted prices | tl1
