    Maui Jim tortoise shell glasses for $200. absolutely love them, worth every penny.

    i usually have a cheap pair of oakleys for active or river/lake days.

    i want to get a pair of costa del mars, the lenses on those things are awesome on the water.

    I've got a pair of Arnette's with polarized lenses. I picked them up for around $40 on ebay, I think they retail for close to $100. I couldn't drive without em.

    yea, but have you noticed how much shipping and handling is per sunglass. Its 20 bucks per piece or so, and they don't combine shipping. The quality is not the best, but you can probably get the same type of glasses at your mall or at this place.

    The quality here is pretty good and very reasonable pricing.

    It's as simple as this...

    If I buy a pair over 16.99, I lose them.

    Anything under that could last for 5 years. Or until I break them.

    I have always wondered if the stuff at Ross is authentic. At my local Ross, you can buy Gucci sunglasses for $40. I think they have Dolce and Gabbana for that price as well.

    I got Oakley's a few years back, cost me about $250 total with the Oakley's case from Sunglass Hut.

    I keep wondering all the time if I can turn this pair into prescription sunglasses, but I keep forgetting to ask about that.

    When I lived in Saudi, I used to buy Police and Raybans, they were more popular back then.

    Since it's insanely bright where I'm at, I had to get a nice pair that was durable enough and polarized. Black Oakley Square Wire 2.0. Retail for $200, but I knew the guy working so I got them at a very nice discount.

    Great sunglasses, but I ended up buying the same frame in orange lenses as a $5 knockoff in NYC. Wore those daily until they finally broke a few months later.

    Maui Jim Titanium Sports. $200. Glad to see I'm not the only one on the high end of things. Managed to not lose mine for 4 years now. Knock on wood.

    Yeah Oakley's can be turned into prescritions now. Any model of them for the right price. The Assistant on the Rockets always wears oakleys as prescriptions, but not as sunglasses though.

    I paid $200 for a pair of Oakley C Wires on my honeymoon almost 10 years ago. I still have them, but they're in pretty rough shape. I hate to admit it, but I've purchased several Oakley knockoff over the years for $15-$20, and liked them just as much.

    Where can knockoffs or decent quality cheap sunglasses be bought around town?
    Preferably somewhere with good selection.

    Go to any mall and you'll find one of them small kiosks in the middle of the gallery. Good looking, stylish sunglasses in any form you like, just without the big brand names. They're typically about $15, but if you are indecisive you can get like 2 for $20.
