$117 down from $224. For what is probably $1 of titanium.
I can make you something really cool with 10¢ worth of yarn. You're paying me for my time, the logistics, and the fact that everyone involved needs to eat. This shit doesn't make itself.
If you wanna point out the ridiculous prices of stuff on that website, there are plenty of dramatically wise offenses there. I just bought their PI7 though.
All this requires is a metal stamping machine and some quick assembly. We're not talking about a car here, it's a pair of eyeglass frames. The fact that you can get titanium frames for under $50 shows that this is ludicrously overpriced.

So design, storage, QA, logistics, and everything that's necessary to actually get them in your hands don't matter to you?
Edit: also the glasses you linked only need a stamping machine and a bit of deburring, but the ones I linked are much more elegant and also IMO look far better. Kinda ironic given how absurd the rest of their products look.
Because I don't have a metal stamping machine? What a silly question. If I say someone is overcharging for smoothies it doesn't mean I need to open my own cafe.
And yet you can still get them for under $50 when those are usually being sold for over $200. It's because they have a designer label on them. I'm sure you understand that.
Are you actually blind to the extra complexity of the shape? Go get the cheap glasses with the simple build quality. Don't complain that other people are paying for extra features like magnet clip filters and much nicer build quality. Get what you need.
Why you think I care what you spend your money on, I don't know. I never made this personal.
So what's your complaint here? Why are you making a big deal about how I suggested some really nice glasses that cost half what you posted about?
All I was saying was that they seemed really overpriced. I'm sorry you took it personally, but I never made it personal.
Also, I would suggest it is not especially helpful to offer a link to expensive frames when someone is infuriated about how much they had to pay for glasses.
You said so much more than that, and they're half the price you paid. There's alternatives.
From my original post:
Did you not read it?
How do you think most if the world affords eye glasses? Do you honestly think millions of poor Indian people pay the ridiculous prices they charge us?
No, of course they don't. The problem is that the market is owned by one company and they pretty much charge whatever they want.
And here you are defending their exorbitant prices.
If you can't afford the really nice ones, get the really cheap ones. Everyone's plastering this post with links to chapter options and you're acting like it screws you over that better stuff exists. I've been using glasses with the coating chipping away because I'm saving up to get nice ones. The dude with a Lambo isn't depriving you of your scooter.
