Value for money. R.I.P. My market sunnies

[Woz]

A quick heads up to anyone down Melbourne way in and around the Caribbean Market area (Stud Rd and Ferntree Gully rd).

If you're ever after a cheap pair of sunnies, the Market is the place to go. I bought a pair of sunnies there close to 18 months ago for $8. That's right, $8. They've bounced around in my glovebox, fallen from the passenger seat onto the floor and rolled around in transit. They've been thrown into my work bag, across the room, and even headbutted the car roof on three seperate occassions when I went to 'adjust myself' and didn't realise just how close I was to the roof while they were ontop of my head.

I've bent and twisted the frame, trying to get them tight enough on my head to keep from sliding down onto my face anytime I looked down.

Just a moment ago, while reaching into a half-full slab box to pick them out (the end of the handle caught on the cardboard six-pack casing), the frame snapped.

Finally!

God damn, I got my moneys worth! Only problem being, the market was on yesterday and I'm working on Wednesday, so I'm gonna have to wait until next Sunday to get a new pair, or pick up a servo pair at some stage before then.

But let's be honest here, $8? I haven't seen value like that since way back in the day when those big, original Wagon Wheels (which are back to being big again) used to be like 50 cents.

Hmmm... I wonder if my sunnies are fixable. :thebirds:
