WTF!! ARE THEY CRAZY??

[Wannabe]

After my Adidas Evil Eye Pro sunglasses got bumped out of my hand and promptly stepped on (by the same guy ) at the end of the Burger race, the right hand side "arm" (hinge) got broken off. I decided to first try and get a replacement arm for the sunnies, after all, how much could it cost? I figured in the region of R250.00 to R300.00. Almost fell on my back when I got the quote of just on R900.00 for the one arm. R900.00 for one arm, are they crazy!!?? The thing is made of plastic, and only the small hinge that connects the arm to the glasses got broken. CAN IT REALLY BE R900.00??

New glasses vary in price from R2600.00 to R3100.00 for the same model I've got.

 

Anybody out there that has a set of Silver Evil Eye Pro's they are not using anymore and want to donate the right hand arm to me??

Why not grab yourself one of the 10 Rudi's up for 600 Rondelas today from ASG?

[awesme]

You really need to stop posting, that avatar of yours is driving me nuts

They get to that price based on what they can score compared to what it will cost to replace the sunglasses all together. It's like a one way ticket that cost 3/4 of the price of a return ticket.

I wear the optical inserts, only work with Evil Eyes. If I change brand, means I have the extra expense of new opticals.

I wanted to accost him, but then images of the West Coast Express fracas played before my eyes (know myself, it was going to end there, so I decided to rather let it go, besides the guy who bumped me was not even aware he did)

AGREED

It's either that, or you upload the full version of the pic / vid and not just a short

Medical Aid or Insurance?

The best is... Its made for less than R2.00 in some chinese sweatshop!

Do not want to claim from Insurance and loose No Claim Bonus.

Will have to be patient and trawl the web, might find it cheaper somewhere else.

On my Adidas glasses you can replace just the hinge (clear plastic piece), cost less than R200 for a pair of hinges. Not sure if yours are the same?
