Thanks bud
Don't thank me. I wouldn't care less about a pair of sunglasses, but they do look good. Nothing personal with any of you guys, but the above attitude from @RepPossessed is at least inappropriate. It's really sad seeing a vendor here shittalking an item being reviewed to his own benefit.

You could just apologise and say you read the model number wrong. I am quoting your messages just incase you decide to edit them as it's better to have them.

Junk.. absolute junk. sorry

Thats thailand market stall stuff.

As you can see they look nothing like gen https://www.misterspex.co.uk/sunglasses/ray-ban-blaze-rb-3581-n-00171_f6684337.html

and what colour are those lenses??

so they just had the wrong number on the box.. so which model are they supposed to be ive never seen these before?

i wouldnt expect that at $30 sunglasses to be honest, you can buy rep polarized shades for that. Ive bought and sold a lot of shades in the past. These really look like cheap shades in a better case... sorry..

1:1 can be bought, infact i will list 2 pairs tomorrow of rayban justin

no.. because il maybe start selling some myself :D

I visited China and Thailand several times. Before I started to get into rep watches I dealt with rep sunglases so I would call myself a little experienced in that topic (and i am not talking about the sh!t that is sold on the evening markets on a Thai Islands).

These glases really look spot on from the pictures.

Well anyway that fact remains you should only be paying $30 for polarized rayban reps, because anything else is much cheaper. I've polarised rayban Justin and aviator which cost $18 and $22

The wrong big sticker gives it away, if I look through some rayban listings Its all the cheapos at $10 have that sticker, and those strange coloured lenses. Which I'm sure look nothing like gen... Excuse me if I'm wrong but they just look brown I've never seen rayban with a plain brown lens, maybe graduated but not just plain brown. But it's been a couple of years since I flipped rep shades.

Anyway apologies for criticising, I could have done it in a better way.

Your a moron and stop thread crapping. I did an honest review and these are great glasses. I didnt do it so you could suggest im a liar and that i dont know what im talking about so piss off

Well said Mike!

He has done the same in different threads related to sunglasses. I really wonder how such member (what he writes, how he writes, how he behaves,..) can be here a trusted dealer. That's just my 0.02$

You just cant shut it can you ? A lot people reading your posts will now think twice before buying junk from you now. Theres an old saying... if you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all. Shitty posts like yours are one reason a lot of members, and particularly new members dont start threads and just lurk. Next time you feel the urge to piss on someones well intentioned thread do us a favour and take a deep breath and turn the page "know it all"

It's a weird sort of pot calling kettle black. If you look at the watches he sells, they are mostly the cheap 21j/quartz variety. Ok for the money, but plenty of tells compared to the stuff the actual dealers sell.

So I'm not sure why he's in here thread crapping on your review when his own products have as many issues, yet he's happy to sell them.

And saying he can get equivalent products for cheaper...well that's why we have dealers. They have an overhead to cover and they make a pretty good profit while doing so. Hell, look at the former TD TS. They offer wholesale pricing at anywhere from 20-30% off what dealers list at and I guarantee they are still making a profit even with that discounted pricing.

So what I'm saying is, why is a vender in this post at all, when he doesn't have anything constructive to provide? Why not share some links to superior products at cheaper prices then? I don't see TDs crapping on each other or in member's threads saying the stuff they bought is crap and they could do better.

On the last page I gave a constructive post with an apology.

I sell the watches the main dealers sell, mostly Noob and Bp. so that doesn't make sense.

Like I said I apologized.. yes i said very harshly about what I thought about the shades.. it was in bad taste although i was being honest. But I took a strop when i got called a moron so i gave it back... thats all

people are very critical on the forum, if you cant take it your in the wrong place, you wont always hear what you want to hear, and yes.. I also shouldn't have gave it back after being called a moron.

peace.

I ordered 2 pairs of rayban sunglasses from robbie several weeks ago and after paying him things went quiet. Like so many dealers, lots of comms until they have your loot and then its a waiting game. I bought the glasses to give away as gifts so i needed to get them shipped that month and after a lot of messaging back and forth they were sent and turned up 6 days later via epacket. I have to say i thought i had lost my money intially as Robbie wasnt in any hurry to communicate, ( paid via pp gift ). I have to say that his glasses are extremely good quality and come with everything including hang tags and papers etc. The lenses are as good as my gen diors. i understand the glasses he sells have been tested by a member on reddit for uv protection and the result was a uv 400 pass. I know some will say rep glasses are not to be trusted but these are as good as any gen sunglasses ive owned. My advice to buyers is that you ask him how long it will take to pick them up and send to you before paying. This pair where 30$ including shipping and we communicated via whatsapp.
I ordered a pair of Wayfarer's from him over Christmas time for my son and he absolutely loves those glasses. I was very please with the transaction and would buy from him again! Great to hear you had a good experience as well Mike! Congrats!

I've checked out Aooko's yupoo page. Always wondered about the quality. Thanks for the review @Mike116

On a side note, has anyone seen reps of Maui Jim's? Looked all over and have never come across them.

Thanks man. I would definitely buy from him again. I went to an ad yesterday to check how close they are to gen and i honestly couldnt tell the difference. Im not sure about the lense colour but they are great on the eyes

Of all people, we on this forum should be the last people to complain rep over gen (for anything)! We know what we are buying! Give me a break!

That's it..... Im ordering another pair in honor of you Mike! Thanks!

@Mike116 . I have run across RepPossessed before and the guy is an IDIOT so don't feel bad, He clearly has not a brain in his head, he was talking shit about another dealer and making stupid comments as if he was in the know. He now sits on my "DO NOT SELL, DO NOT BUY LIST" as he should.
