AliExpress Oakleys

[LouwK]

Dear hubbers and moderators/admin team

 

I have two questions regarding Oakleys, AliExpress, and the T's & C's of the classifieds.

 

1. I have 2 pairs of "Oakley Radarlocks" that I bought from AliExpress a while back. Went through the hassles of finding a good looking pair, waiting forever, dealing with imports, and paid about R600.

In the meantime I have purchased some other cycling eyewear, so I'm not using these anymore, so I thought I'll sell them off for a small amount.

May I sell them here? I will of course not list them as Oakleys, I'll say something like "cycling glasses", I'll state that I bought them from AliE, and I though of asking like R300. I.e. not claiming they're real or asking a real price.

 

(I did go and check up on the T's and C's, so I'm aware of these 2 clauses below. Just wondering where this case fits in :

No counterfeit or otherwise illegal product may be listed for sale. Any such adverts will be removed and the advertiser's account suspended.

Any parallel import product (grey import) advertised, whether new or used, must be declared as such by means of a clear notice on the advert describing the nature of the goods and any impact on warranties or local product support. This is in accordance with requirements set out by the Department of Trade and Industry.)

 

2. I also have a 100% legit Oakley Radar, with 2 original legit lenses, that I also want to sell. Ok so this is no problem. But then I also have another 4 AliE lenses for this Radar, that I got from a friend. 

Can I sell these lenses with the glasses or will this also be a problem? (I'll obviously also state that the extra 4 lenses are not originals).

 

 

Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance for your answers.

I came here to ask and make sure, before posting the ads and having my account blocked or something haha.

 

Cheers!

Hi LouwK
 

Thanks for checking first on this.

 

With regards to the AliExpress imports these are most likely fakes rather than a grey / parallel import. At R600 I'd hazard a guess that they're indeed fake and therefore not allowed to be advertised on Bike Hub. 

 

From our T&Cs:
 

No counterfeit or otherwise illegal product may be listed for sale. Any such adverts will be removed and the advertiser's account suspended.

 

If there is doubt the best bet would be to verify authenticity with Oakley.

 

With regards to the lenses, if these are Oakley branded in any way they would be problematic. If not I don't see any issue with the lenses being advertised, provided their origin is made clear.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

 

Regards,

Matt

They are not Oakleys. They are illegal counterfeits.
