Found this on e-bay. Can you count the number of red flags that are flying all over this add? I wish there were a way to tag sales like this to warn would be victims.

I think if she displayed them on a garbage bag that would've been more appropriate.

You wonder how there are so many people who still want to buy them...

Oh and how do some actually go for prices you can buy (cheaper) real ones!

How can you tell they are fakleys? The only thing I can tell is the sticker on the front. The other thing is the smallish grainy photo included.

Reading more carefully, the special price is weird. A company like Oakley would never sell defective merchandise intentionally even at a lower price. It would damage the company's image to sell something like that.

Another hobby of mine is custom knives and there was an article a while back by a well known blade smith about defective knives. He said that something would go wrong during one step or another (a crack due to heat treatment or whatever) and he usually he would destroy them, but occasionally a friend or relative would ask for it and against his better judgment he would give it to them.

Invariable he said the knives would be sold and the new owner would ask for a replacement due to defect or try to sell it as a rare example of defective blade, which he usually bought back and destroyed in the end costing him more money.
So I imagine that Oakley wouldn’t intentionally sell defective sunglasses.

i think that these guys are messing up ebay ! look at his feedback-score , that can't be true

Fred,

I think the reason why Foakley sellers actually get positives is because of buyers' ignorance. I think alot of people cant tell between fakes and knockoffs unless they've seen a real one in person

These people obviously don't have a shred of common sense to guide them. I think everyone's heard "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is"

well im sure that these arnt fake

HOw do I spot fakes? I'm looking for a pair of XX FMJ/Fire and don't wnat to end up with a pair of fakes. These glasses will probably get a bit beat up so a use pair would still be ok.
