What’s the fucking point of these deals if all the good stuff is sold out by the time I see any of them?
Manufacturers will sometimes sell us an assortment of product that may include very limited stock of a few items. In other cases, we may have a few remaining items from previous sales.
While the quantity is limited, we do still want to pass these deals on to our customers. Plus deals will often have limited quantities so it’s important to watch for them closely.

these are almost as cheap…
I managed to keep my first pair of Ray-Bans for about eight years. I LOVED them. Unfortunately, after a heavy night of partying, I forgot to put them in my car, and they were trampled. Sigh. Anyhow, I got my moneys worth. I was just about to peel 150 bucks for another pair and then this pops up! I is very excite. Going with a different look this time, I chose the black aviators. Anyhow, I’ll stop ranting. I’m just really happy to get these so cheap. What is the term I am looking for to describe my joy? Oh yes, I believe the correct term is “woot”. F*cking woot. Can I say that?
are these compatible with prescription lenses? They wafers looks like the 3D glasses that you get in movie theaters with its flat lens, so I am not sure if you can put a coke bottle lens the frame.
The irony of this kills me: I go onto woot, see the wayfarers and are secretely relieved that they are sold out. I see your post and start to type:
"I have Coach sunglasses. Have had them forever, i can’t seem to kill them, even when i have hoped to so i can rationalize buying a new pair. I have them on a leash made by "
and i go into my bag to look at the manufacturer, and MY COACH GLASSES ARE BROKEN!!! geeze, i’ve had these for like ten years and wear them daily!! (my fault: usually store them on my desk or in my car, but i put them in my bag i throw around)
UGH.
the leash, as it turns out is made by croakie, called “suiters” http://www.rei.com/product/717366/croakies-suiters-eyewear-retainer. they are comfortable, and are adjustable to snug up on the back of your head if you want to keep the glasses on your head when bending or in a bumpy situation.
and now i am disappointed i can’t by the wayfarers.
Yup, it’s been one of those days.
How do people buy something like sunglasses online & know they like the fit? I have never bought sunglasses or shoes online, I just don’t see how I could. I would buy goggles or rain boots - as the fit isn’t nearly as "fitted’ - but not glasses or shoes. I have a hard enough time finding a pair of either (shoes or glasses) that I like when I can try them on, much less to guess from a photo…and definitely not with no return option.

We live on the edge.
I’ve had two pair of ray-bans, the original wayfarers for 20+ years and a pair of the New Wayfarers I got about 10 years ago. They’re tough, I wear them pretty much all day everyday, most of the time on the top of my head. They are worth the money but I don’t see this as being a “deal”. This is about the same price as they sell them for on Amazon and if you’re a prime member it’s cheaper to buy them on Amazon.
WTF? Is there only item of every deal? WOOT needs to find some real deals that have quantity and boot the bull$shit vendors/manufacturers who can’t produce quantity so that at 6 a.m. on the day of a new post, it’s not all sold out.
dammit! would have bought some!
Didn’t take long to sell both pairs.
Well… That was pretty fast…
Well done!
what going on here? Everything is sold out. Did Woot only have 1 pair of each??
My mom found a pair of black aviators on the ground in D.C. and I convinced her that aviators were not her style so mine were free. They’re nice but the screws are always coming loose and they seem fragile with the thin wire. Stylish and effective but I wouldn’t pay $85 for them.
I’m soooo over paying that much for sunglasses. I’ve spent thousands buying these over-priced brand name shades… Maui Jim, Ray Ban, Revo, Varnet… screw it. Every pair was either left on a plane, lost overboard while sailing, dropped and chipped, sat on and ruined, or something that turned my expensive sunglasses into an expensive waste of hard earned money. I now buy in more at around the $20 level. I still sit on them, drop them, leave them, lose them and break them. But, it doesn’t hurt nearly as bad when I do! Honestly, I hardly notice the difference.

Take heart, if Woot can’t sell a replacement pair to you, if you have a Costco nearby, they had some really cute Coach glasses for $65 this summer. I saw some at my local warehouse earlier this week. I got mine (and a Kirkland Signature branded pair that was polarized - $35!) and just feel like the bees knees when I wear them around.
I’ve always been a cheap-sunglasses-kind-of-girl until these purchases. I drop mine a lot, and honestly never thought the difference in optics quality justified the retail price of premium brand sunglasses. I’ve been rocking 3 pair of children glasses (fake tortoise, looked good enough) that I would get for $8 at the L.L. Bean outlet for at least the past 5 years, but they were peeling and all scratched up, and my husband got me at a weak moment and I bought the 2 pair at Costco, intending to return 1 pair at the very least. Then, I’ll be darned if I wasn’t hooked on both! When I put those Coach ones on, my vanity wouldn’t let me return them once I realized they looked a whole lot more flattering and stylish. Then, the polarized ones really rocked while driving… and I could justify $35 for something that I felt made driving a bit more safe.
Sometimes you get what you pay for - especially if you’re wearing $8 children sunglasses!
You can get prescription lenses in Wayfarers, but you aren’t going to get them for $85.
