Long Wheel Base Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Not being a box here but why would the supplier/importer of Oakley/adidas and the other glasses you mention give you such a big discount and loose out on the extra money?Unless you getting it for the same price as retail shops do and the retail are heavily loading on profit(i could be wrong but I doubt they adding on +30%)

Rocket-Boy Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 The SA import agents for Oakley are not the same agents as Adidas, or are you referring to a wholesaler like sunglasses hut?Im not trying to say anything bad about what you want to do, just asking the questions that need to be asked.
dirtypot Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Can you get the little hinge piece on a set of Adidas Evil Eye's? My daughter snapped the arm off of mine...

No retail stock is kept in the country only parts and warranty stuff so orders come from Ireland or Italy. Oh and RRP is with a 100% markup
Long Wheel Base Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Oakley and Ray-Ban are owned by Luxottica. No retail stock is kept in the country only parts and warranty stuff so orders come from Ireland or Italy. Oh and RRP is with a 100% markupGeez that's a big markup. I guess because they can. If they going to mark up that much then I'd say the OP will be in the pound seat. AND he is actually still marking up A LOT then.
T-Bob Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I would have thought it was at least 100% mark up knowing a few optometrists.
watsonr Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Myself and my family make use of an optometrist friend. All Oakley and Ray-Ban glasses tend to be anywhere between 30%-50% cheaper than "Sunglass hut" prices. I can easily believe the OP's statements.
Fisan Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 When I wanted to buy photochromatic lenses a few years ago, the optometrists (only asked two) charged 50% more than my LBS... Just a reminder where Oakleys, RayBans etc come from... (don't know about Adidas) That said, I do like my Oakleys...

traildemon.co.za Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 Ok just give me a day or 2 to get my pricelists in order and il be able to help you. I can order Rayban as well.
SurferChild Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Do you only sell the complete glasses, or the parts/accessories as well?Might need some new lenses for my Oakley Race Jacket
