Grebel Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Other brands do similar things. You go in expecting to get the bargain of the century only to find that there are only midget sizes left or only the junk that nobody else wants to buy...
lukelockie Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I was lucky enough to be at the last sale when the one of the staff members opened up a box of Oakley Radars, grabbed myself 2 pairs that each had 2 sets of lenses. Otherwise it was mostly fashion type shades. It was also chaotic as hell.That's the gold I was talking about!
T-Bob Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Hand to gland combat I'd imagine but I'll be there to check it out as I'm looking to rework my wardrobe into XXL golf checks.

J∆kk∆ls Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 A quick heads up! NO sunglasses or bags allowed inside the sale! You will be turned away and forced to leave your goods in the car.
Grebel Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Hey, us midgets need to be catered for too, damnit! Should have used hobbits instead.....
gminator Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 Eish im debating whether or not i should go... My oakley racing jackets seems to be getting further and further away
Tumbleweed Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Should have used hobbits instead..... Maybe they have these in stock...
Iwan Kemp Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Jees is it really that bad, this is my first time to this thing... Hoping to score a pair of racing jackets, or are my expectations to high? Could be 50/50, could be zero. Due to demand they only let a number of people in at a time, the rest wait in the cue outside. Because of this they "throttle" the cool stuff. So not EVERYTHING that's on sale will be on the tables when the doors first open. So you'll either have to hang around at the shades table and hope you catch the Yeti or try and smooch one of the guys behind the table. There are some killer deals on most of their stuff. Bought killer gloves at next to nothing. Goggles aplenty. ***************************************** I was there early last year and the cue was already quite long. It started raining and the people stayed. To put the mad rush into perspective: I told my friends one should never marry a girl until you've taken her to an Oakley sale. They will grab over / under / though you and heaven helps whoever gets in their way.

Stretch Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 im gonna be in cape town then...but that sounds like waaaay to much effort
Iwan Kemp Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Haha what do u rekon is a good time to get there 7am - even that could be pushing it. Make sure you're in the first batch of people that go in when the doors first open. Otherwise there were ALWAYS be a crowd waiting there for the goods to come out. Either that or grow a foot or three overnight and dwarf the crowd.
alleyne Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 If I was going again I would say to one of the sales staff who are unpacking the glasses that I would give him R400 if he could get me what I am looking for, could work.

Skylark Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 These are the worst(and sometimes the best) , the inner torment trying to work out if the killer what-what that's normally R3500 now marked down to R600 will fit in medium or large, the last medium is in your hand and the larges are down to 3 pairs and they are flying off the rack in front of your very eyes. Oh and the colours what happened to normal colours, all this after squinting for an 1hr in the queue trying not to look desperate. Good luck fellows, you do sometimes really score, the thrill of the hunt is priceless.
