I have a pair of Hammerheads (blue mirror) and I want to buy a pair of Triple Tails LINK


Do you think I could get $75-100 for my current pair on Craigslist or something?



ETA: my used pair or 1 year old and in great condition, I'd think that price is reasonable

I bought my first pair used on eBay for $60, and it was hard to find a pair with glass lenses that low, it took me weeks. They regularly go for 70-80+ in good shape. eBay would be good to look into IMO

It'd probably cost you $20 or more in cost and fees and commissions.

I don't remember it being that high, but I haven't sold shite on there in 3 years. Has it gotten worse?

And yea hat, 80 bucks is a fair price IMO and I think they'd sell quick wherever you try to sell them.

A serious question.

I see these threads about sunglasses all the time. Why are they so expensive. Is it the polarization? Do they help you see deeper in the water than other cheaper shades? :curious:

I bought some on my lunch break today (fluid with 3 different lenses). Found them on CL.

The difference between Costas and cheap sunglasses is like the difference between a pellet gun and a 300mag for elk hunting


You can see a good bit deeper into the big blue with them on also.
