Oakley are a pretty popular brand of sunglasses.
A new pair wouldnt be much more expensive than that pair on donedeal.. Also you wouldnt havent to worry about them being counterfeit !

Oakleys do not come with separate lens as standard so that alone rings warning bells.
I've seen very good quality imitation Oakleys jawbones available with 3 different lenses but be aware they are a fraction of the price quoted above.

Jawbones come with two sets of lenses, blue and yellow. However this add does ring alarm bells, he advertises them as livestrong but then says he has various colours.... Livestrong are only yellow.

There are other limited edition coloured variations, but they are usually more expensive.

Isn't there some crowd doing these outta China for cheepcheep?
Know someone who got them online from China/Taiwan/Singapore and he was happy with them*.

*He was wearing them with a suit and tie at a wedding so maybe that negates the validity of his opinion...

As a rough guide to typical prices, on one of the cheaper official UK sites where I've seen Jawbones for sale a pair with Iridium (non-polarized) lenses cost over £150 (sterling), a pair with polarized lenses cost about £185, and a spare pair of polarized lenses on their own cost over £70. The prices vary a bit from site to site but I'd expect them to all be somewhere in the region of those prices and sometimes even higher.

On that basis I'd be amazed if that offer on Donedeal were genuine. You'd expect the glasses to be a bit cheaper from a non-official Oakley stockist of course, since you couldn't avail of the Oakley warranty in the event of problems in that case (enough reason in itself to think carefully about buying from such a source), but certainly not that much cheaper.
