Before going out for lunch, I cleaned my favorite cool shades using my shirt. Then I thought I'd photograph that moment.
These are B&L Ray Ban Chromax W2053. I paid about $30.00 at Big 5 about 12 years ago. Then about 6 years ago, I replaced the lens with yellow glass (prescription). So, I spent under $70.00 for them.
When I see good sales on sunglasses, I buy them for $20-$40 and hold on to them. This makes sense to me because it's difficult to find right glass frame at right price. I don't want to wait until the time comes and I have to buy something fast. Eye glasses are like a job. The best time to look for them is when you have them.
Later, depends on the model, I can put clear or colored lenses.
Now with Costco's optical department, I can save even more.
Anyway, these glasses are now going for $250.00 on eBay.
It became a hard to find item of some sort, I guess.
These are my favorite pair of Sunglasses.


Re: My Cool Shades
My Mom gave me her pair to use and I inadvertently kept them. Didn't know they were worth so much.
They are worn a bit, but still very cool. And it's nice knowing they are vintage.
