its just good old fashioned american capitalism. we built a whole country on it.

It costs me a little over a dollar to make an I/O panker and I charge 10-25 each...capitalism is a two-way street. Hey, I don't love the markup on the glasses either, but all things considering...

..exactly. theres alot of equiptment and expertise and research that went into gluing those lenses together. same as when you make an item that cost you a dollar. you have the overall costs of keeping up a shop and a substaincial investment behind you but the customer only sees the glass on your website or on the table out on the lot.

nobody works for free. even a co-op has to make a profit to keep the lights on so to speak. it know it hurts to come up with 3 or 4 bills to get quality eye protection but well worth the investment.

Yeah the cost of materials is just that THE COST OF MATERIALS.

It is not the cost of running a business. Research and development, Insurance, advertising and marketing, and on and on and on.

one of the other folks in a class I was taking picked up a nice lightweight pair of didymium specs from these folks:

I gotta say some of them aren't terribly fashionable, but their price for boros is pretty rockin'. 145 (the bug eyed patriot frame) ain't so bad given the half laminated pair like my teacher had I've seen listed for 290 or so elsewhere.

Very nice!
I sent Mike an email a few days ago and no reply...
How did you contact him?

p.s.
What shade is it?

Hey Orrza.. How are you???

**Mike_Aurelius** · 08-08-2006, 10:57 AM

Orrza - not gotten any e-mails from you - I've been on vacation for the past two weeks, sorry.

Can you resend?

**HumanLathe** · 08-08-2006, 01:02 PM

Well you can get them in just about any shade but mine are split 7/8 LOL!< I have sensitive eyes.

**JANKYglass** · 08-08-2006, 09:10 PM

**misled youth** · 08-08-2006, 09:12 PM
