Best Place to Buy Cheap but Quality Sunglasses (1 Viewer)

[Klimtology]

Hey,

I'm going on vacation to Aruba and am looking to pick up some quality but cheaper sunglasses. Don't really want to spend $250 on a pair. I went to West Marine and they had some decent polarized sunglasses for $30 or so. To be honest I couldn't really tell the difference between the cheap and the expensive ones. I've heard that TJmaxx/Marshalls has some brand name sunglasses for cheaper prices. Also, I'd like to try them on before buying.

Any suggestions/recommendations?

amazon? I got some nice pairs in the $100 range (Bolle and Native)

I highly recommend the gas station. Always find a sweet pair there.

or the fair

Sites like Costal Contacts and Eyebuydirect are always having blow-out sales. Not to mention big discounts for first time shoppers.

I used to be the guy who never spent more then $25 on glasses.

I took the plunge and purchased some $180.00 Oakleys and I will never again buy a crappy pair of glasses again. In fact, I plan on purchasing several more pair of higher quality glasses for different occasions.

If I still smoked I'd never be able to afford a new pair of glasses.

Good lord, I looked and Coastal's website then came back here and already had a Coastal banner ad. That was fast.

Was this before or after you didn't get your annual bonus?

I buy them by the dozen at CTS Sunglasses. At $3-4 a pair, they are pretty much disposable to me.

Before.

Marshalls for about $20 a pair. I have about 5 pair I keep in different areas. I'm too forgetful to have one pair. I'll either leave them somewhere or forget to take them when I need them.

I'm the opposite. I'll never waste money on Oakleys again.

I bought the marathon model from these guys at a running expo a couple of years ago and they've held up better than the overpriced Oakleys. I rarely even pick my Oakleys up any more.

ive been buying these MLB ones from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/MLB-New-York-Yankees-Sunglasses/dp/B002ZSUTVK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409334373&sr=8-1&keywords=mlb+yankees+sunglasses

this style of sunglass can be found on ebay as well and you can usually find your local team or close to it

ive been using these for about 2 years the quality is better than above crap you find at the flea markets.. plastic seems a little stronger and they seem to hold up close to 6 mos which is pretty good for me, I use them everyday.

I have found them on ebay for $8 shipped as well...

I just use the 3-D glasses they give me at the movies.

What if they come with a free magical yarn necklace?

 

[McGarnicle]

I've got a pair of polarized prescription Ray-Bans. Paid $500 two years ago, wear them every day and they're good as new. You get what you pay for.

You can get a great pair of Orkleys for about $2 (post-haggle) if you're anywhere near Mexico.

do they sell Rey Ban too?

 

[Politician Spock]

Some place called Knights.

All I remember is their commercial being played over and over again on the radio in the 80's.

Their jingle went "I buy my sunglasses at Knights".

That is genius. They should bring that back.

"Cheap but quality?" Does not compute.

How about "inexpensive but quality."

Do people not know about Adblock plus? I never, ever see ads like that. Plus it allows you to custom-block irritating avatars.

Pretty sure they went out of business.
