Don't deny it!, we all have this so called "insanity"... and this is reflected by our collection. But has anyone ever called you guys CRAZY for having multiple Oakleys shades @ $100-300 a pop? How do you guys normally respond/react to this?

Well, I usually don't admit to being crazy... because for one, this is a collection; plus, a different Oakley for a different day for a different weather. Thirdly, Oakley shades are part of my daily clothing ensemble/style and that what makes us different!
...so, if somebody calls me crazy, I don't get mad, I get even! (they're jealous!)
Just to set things straight, no one from this forum helped with getting the gary sig oakleys for me.

I'm out to make a profit, but NOT from making use of any members. I got it straight from my sources, not "making use" of any member's help and then re-selling them. If you can find proof of any member whom i "made use of" to get these gary sig glasses, i'm fine with anything you say. But this was not the case so pls get it straight.

would appreciate if you would edit your post "didn't someone from overseas ask a member here for a favour to get those for him for his personal collection and soon enough it was seen on ebaY as some ridiculous price?" to state the true facts.

You can read the thread yourself again and its prety obvious in the end that i was in talks with oakley direct and NOT making use of any member to get those glasses. I really dont care about people talking about me marking prices up, but i do NOT make use of people to make a profit.


-----------------some interesting facts about the old/new building they are going to be at:

-built at 1890s (survived the great 1906 quake)

-been in restoration since 1996 only the top dome is preserved.

-average base rents are likely to range from $150 to $300 per square foot, depending on the location in the mall. Luxury boutiques on the first floor closest to the Market Street entrance may go for considerably more.

Exactly, I get called crazy all the time, people always say why do you need more than one pair of oakleys (44 at the moment)
I just say I collect them, people collect all sorts of things, for example you cant wear a coin collection can you.
So why are we called crazy, at least our collections are useful.

Exactly my point when arguing my case with the mrs! How about people who collect stamps, or beer mats, women don't seem to have a problem collecting spite and bitterness....

hehehe

Yes, I am crazy and darn proud of it.

No one has really come out and said "you're crazy" to me, but I know everyone probably thinks so.

I've been called crazy many times. And some of those because of my collection. Everyone has a hobby though. At least my eyes are benefitting.
