I am new to this forum as it was recommended to join through the manager at the Oakley in King of Prussia mall tonight.

My husband was recently cleaning out his bedroom he grew up in and found a pair of sunglasses that he purchased when he was 18 and subsequently never wore. We were actually about to throw them away when we decided to research them. Turns out they are the Oakley Romeo 1.0 X-Metal / Black Iridium glasses.

We took them to the Oakley store to have them looked at and to give us a valuation for them. The manager looked them over and told us she thought they were worth 1500-2000$.

#1 I am curious to see what the opinion of the board is

#2 We are looking to sell them if anyone is interested (we do not have the box or coin (we found out they come with) as my husband was young and stupid back then and thinks he got rid of it although he never wore the actual sunglasses after he bought them!)


Thanks!

First, welcome to the o-review. We generally avoid providing valuations, and would normally recommend reviewing ebay for similar completed (and sold) items. I would say, though, that it sounds like the o-store manager may have placed your hopes pretty high.

I would agree, I think your manager you spoke with may have set your expectations a little high to say the least.

Reminds me of Antique Roadshow where they stun the participants with an impressive figure. Then you turn the channel to Pawn Stars and see what you could realistically get.

While I also don't deal with valuations, the best bet in any of these cases, is to search completed ebay listings, and that will generally be your high point. Collector to collector transactions tend to be lower due to karma and respect etc..

In any case great find.

Since you live in the Philly area, I would be willing to trade other Oakley items for them. Let me know if you are interested.
