Anyone going to Greece?

Hey,

Is anyone going to Greece anytime soon?

A mate of mine bought a few pairs of "Raybans" out there for cheap and now I want them!

Seeing as I'm not planning on going to Greece anytime soon, my options are limited to stealing them off my mate or asking someone on here. Seeing as my mate lives 60 miles away, it makes it hard to steal them.

Buyers will be reimbursed with monies and sexual favours.

And/Or

Answer to the question of why I don't just buy them off their website or from any other full priced legitimate place:
Do one. I'll be wearing them while on my bike. Why pay £150 when I could pay £20.

Peace.

Because the £20 ones will be knock offs.

But they're still pretty decent quality.

I'm a bit of a clutz too so have broken many pairs of glasses.

Why do you think the only place you can buy fake sunglasses is Greece?

OhEsEcks · 15 May 2014 at 22:33

Save yourself the wait time and just go to your local market. It's the right time of year for the knock off sunglasses to be all over the place.

Because with knock-offs you get cheap lenses that offer no protection and crappy clarity.

Already tried the local markets. Also tried Camden. No luck with these particular ones.

Do they have to be green ones? I have just bought a pair of identical all black RB2132 from amazon from the USA with their current amazon prime export service for £50

Nah man. How could anyone vote for a party that has/had a member describe poorer countries as "Bongo Bongo Land"?

If I had to pick i'd be the Stuart Party.

Problem with stuff like this, some of the best knock offs are found on random stalls that pop up and disappear just as quickly.

Was out there last week. They are only 5 euro a pop where I was and they are not too shabby. My sister bought loads for festival season so if they get lost it does not matter too much. She has got some real ones as well mind.

I had a pair of Black RBs (legit) last year but I left them on top of the roof of my car and drove off. Lets just say they didn't survive the trip.

Exactly. I'll be using them on the bike so I wont care as much if they fall off or if I crush them in my bag like I did with a different pair of sunglasses (No case).

There are sites that purport to be the real deal Ray Ban site that are knocking about online. Dirt cheap of course, but then there's no guarantee that even your fakes will arrive...

sven256 · 16 May 2014 at 01:52

I found the exact pair of knock offs within 2 minutes of looking for £8 delivered.

So they are not that hard to find.

They're everywhere aren't they. How anyone can buy these things thinking they're the real deal is beyond me.

Be aware that knock off ones may not have UV protection, so even though they're tinted they still let all the UV light in which will do more damage as your pupils are dilated.

Buy a proper pair and they're all done for you and all good quality, but I suppose you could buy knock offs with a nice frame and then replace the lenses with genuine ones.
