Wanted to get some expertise on sunglasses. I am looking for a pair of polarized sunglasses and I am looking to stay $60 and under. Does anyone have any suggestions where to look/ purchase? Thanks in advance.

I usually buy mine on the beach in Cancun every year. They are normally $15/pair, but I buy 10 for $80.00. Last year I bought them from a guy named Joaquin. He said they were polarized.

SIU's guy must be related to the one that tried to sell me some Oh-kah-lee Soon-glay-sis in Times Square last year.

Seriously, what type of style are you looking for?

I got mine at Sears, and they are even prescription for grading papers on my deck overlooking Cider Creek. 8)

How long does it take you to go through all the threads you missed during your long layoffs from Flamefans?

I'd avoid eBay if you want good ones- you'll get a lot of ones similar to the times sq/cancun versions. In Athens Greece it was the same type deal, street vendors selling whatever you wanted for $5-10.

I can't recommend a place to get them bc I just got prescription Raybans for free when I bought new glasses at Pearlevision, but I will tell you there is a significant difference in quality and you get what you pay for. Mine was BOGO and would have cost $450, but they are polarized and all and I love them.

My Ray Ban RB3362-03's bit it at a museum a couple of weeks ago.

I bought some cheap no-names to get my by until I can replace them and it sucks. I didn't realize how used to them I was.
