Help Identifying correct Oakley Model – Mars & Penny Copper

Hey, what do you mean? Marsfan or on the hunt for fun.

Heh…both. I’m a MARS fan and always on the hunt for more (fun just naturally comes along with em!).

I’ll keep an eye to see what comes of your for sale post. We have a small but dedicated clan of Martians here…they are always watching

Hey. Cool, I understand.
Will put them on sale in a few days.
Just realized it seems I cannot yet post a for sale thread here. Will check this once again but if not possible I will have to sell them somewhere else.

You just have to meet the minimum forum requirements. If memory serves, 15 posts and two weeks in the forum. You can bypass that with a premium membership.

This serves to protect both the forum and the seller. We often get folks…who come here for a quick sale…more than a few scammers.

You can certainly sell them elsewhere if you are in a hurry…but you’ll likely fare better here with serious collectors. Course you won’t get eekBay prices…course they don’t either. With regard to eekBay, I always say asking price ain’t selling price

Strange, it looks like you met the requirements

I think you may have to log out and log back in.

I think I have more than 15 posts and am a member for almost two months now.
Rules are absolutely understandable so no worries.

I am not in a hurry with the sale. The value/price-question is still open in my head. You are right, eBay offers seem to be pretty high. Haven’t found any penny copper on eBay sold the past months.

Cheers

Hey, you are right, that seems to be the workaround. Thanks
Will try to figure out value/price for both of the sunnies within the next days hopefully and than post an offer.

Sounds like you are well past the requirements. I agree with @Msgt Oakley possibly log out and log back in…

I usually buy beaters myself as I am able to recondition, paint, and leather wrap my own MARS. Personally don’t care about boxes and coins and such. I am happiest with just the frame!

I have four MARS Craters, one MARS Jordan, and one MARS Standard. Within the last year and a half, I paid 550.00 for the standard and between 675.00 and about 900.00 for the various Craters and/or the Jordan…shape, lenses, rubber, tune-up needed or not….lots of variables. I got some crazy good deals in there from friends and just good deals. Also had to do with if I knew and trusted the member involved…naturally.

At least a couple MARS Standards have sold on eekBay in the last year or so for in the 500.00-something range. Not sure what the top end was.

Our local MARS Expert is @Lopaka KaMars a/k/a The King of MARS! He clearly has not seen this thread yet…but if ya go MARS MARS MARS he usually shows up

Thank you for your input as for your experience with the pricing.
Sounds like in the middle of the biggest Mars-enthusiast here
Just to mention: The condition is almost like new as it has hardly been worn.

Well it is late in Germany…
