#SPORTS! AHHHH!! YOU'LL BE GOOD AT THEM!
Especially diamond bags!
Pit Vipers so knockoff they even knocked off the packaging? I'm actually kind of impressed.
I was surprised to learn just now that Pit Viper isn't actually owned by Luxottica.
However they have many models that made in China and Italy, which means they are manufactured by Luxottica. Apparently some of them are still made in the US, but I wasn't able to find which ones.
Normally when a company is manufacturing something domestically they proudly announce it, because it's a good selling point. But I didn't see pit viper doing that in my brief searches, so it's safe to assume they're all made by Luxottica.
Which means these knockoffs probably came out of the same factory, if not the exact same product line.
"Holdindown Thefort" is my favorite pastime.
I guess they meant for military use? That's definitely a weird one lol
They're good for flight but you have to take them off for land landings, only seaplane pilots can wear them during landing.
Definitely bought a bunch of these in my 'i'll make money on ebay' phase of adolescence.
so if anyone wants a pair of these sweet babies, I'll let them go for $50 OBO.
You weren't able to sell them? I used to have a successful side-hustle on eBay, but I never did try to sell sunglasses. It seemed like there was too much competition for that.
Definitely not.
Something about buying something in bulk that nobody really wants for a price nobody would really pay 🤷♂️
I also bought some vintage postcards, but it turned out the only people buying those at the time were dickheads wanting to resell them at a profit.
Ha! Sorry dude. The postcard thing was funny though. I used to hit up yard sales looking for things to sell on eBay. I also imported some Bluetooth headsets from China and then sold those on eBay. My biggest item was refurbished Xbox 360s. I learned that Microsoft issued a recall on them and would repair or replace them, no questions asked, but that wasn't common knowledge. So I was buying red ring of death Xboxes off eBay and Craigslist for $50, sending them to Microsoft to be repaired/replaced, and then selling the working ones for $200 each. That was a pretty good hustle while it lasted, except for the fact that I had to list each Xbox multiple times before someone would actually pay for their order. Apparently a lot of drunk people buy Xboxes they can't afford at night, and then make up all sorts of wacky excuses in the morning. This was after the 2008 crash, so I had a dozen different hustles going to keep a roof over our heads.
Damn, I was hoping to do some four-ball juggling, but I guess I'll either have to practice, or less.
Is that KNEE BOARDING guy jacking off?
I think it's supposed to be a delineation of arm/hand, because there's the same thing at the leg/foot interface. Apparently wrists and ankles have a different color than the rest of you.
rifling
So, not pistoling or shotgunning? Just rifling?
I'm confused by the illustration of motor-boating.
Does that say Bollfo?
Yes
Danke. My vision is not the best!
No problem. It's just a Chinese brand from Amazon. They were the cheapest polarized sunglasses I could find at the time
