Is QVC serious about Eye Bobs costing $89?  For readers?  Now I know why Shawn is wearing (promoting) them on every show. Maybe the frames are out of this world, but give me a break -- $89 is a bit much for "generic" glasses.  For that amount, you can get them at the optometrist office with your specific prescription or go to the drug store and spend less than $10.

I returned the ones I bought, they are not made for a woman's face unless your face is as big as a mans.

@grandma r   Mine, too.  They were 3 for $3. Quite the bargain.

They are cute, but for readers (to me) it's a bit high.

 

I'm picky about glasses and I will pay for style and comfort, but I don't wear readers enough to justify that cost.

Re: $89 For Eye Bobs

[ Edited ]

I no longer wear readers as I can no longer wear my contacts.  I'm in regular glasses now.

 

But, when I DID wear readers over my contacts, if I absolutely loved the frame, I'd spend $89 for them.  Now, I wouldn't buy multiple pairs at $89, but on one I would.

 

But let me also add that back when I was wearing contacts and readers with them, readers were harder to find than they are now.  It was nothing 12 years ago to spend $25 on readers.  Now you can find them everywhere and the prices are a lot lower.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?
