X metals as investments

[Titan X]

I read the post you were referring to about them being collectible and investments. I would have to say I don’t agree with that post as I think the market on these is higher now than it’s ever been and will probably drop overtime

Yeah, right now the taste of a lot of Gen X, which Im included in, is Oakley X metals. Which is driving the demand up. The younger generation seems to love the lug plate look, or non Oakley glasses similar to lug plate. I see those everywhere.

Not that long ago a brand new Mars for $100? When and where was that?

2006–2007 ish on eBay. And then Oakley had a sale and sold them for $50-$75 (can’t remember the exact price) at a yard sale outside of Headquarters.

I tried the Lugplate and it was tiny. Made for a babies head and face.

Sunglasses as an investment? No way.

well I'm sure people say "comic books as an investment? no way" or "pokemon cards as an investment? No way"
But - yeah. There are investment-level buys in both of those areas. so why not sunnies.

I wish I would have started collecting back then. I was more in to other things during that time period. I had bought both a Romeo and a Juliet and would upgrade my Oakley watch every few years, but didn’t really start collecting til years later. Oh well.

Hmmmm don’t take these things as an investment, but only an expensive hobby. So that in the long run you wouldn’t be disappointed.

I picked up quite a few pairs from HQ back then but that was a long time ago (more than a decade).
