Brand new Costa Del Mar Fathoms, sale or trade

[Prodigal Son]

My buddy stepped on my Costa's while striper fishing this past winter and I just got around to sending them back. They were blue and apparently they don't make blue Fathom's anymore...made me pick a different color, but wouldn't let me pick a different frame.

Long and short of it: I've got a pair of black framed, green mirrored glass lens Fathom's on the way to my house that I really don't want. I want my blue Fathoms, but if I can't have those I want a pair of Green Stringer's or Gunmetal Brine's (can you tell I've spent some time browsing Costa Del Mar's website?)...which are all the exact same cost, so I'm not sure why I couldn't get those straight from the factory???

Anyone who was about to buy a pair of Costa Fathoms want to buy these and I'll buy my other frames or perhaps someone can trade me?

You can have my pair, non scratched 580 brine br-11's, they need to be sent in and you pay costa 79$ to have the frames replaced.

I'm over costa's, 250 sunglasses that last a year and a half, with a lifetime warranty which is only good if you send them 80 bones plus shipping.

Yeah, I'm sorta over it too. I had some trouble with them 2 or 3 years ago but was assured by folks that they were changing hands and everything was better now. This go round with them was my fault completely. My buddy is 300+lbs, so I wouldn't expect the glasses to last in a contest between his shrimp boot and my boat deck...I just don't see where them grabbing a pair of $200 glasses off the shelf that say "Fathom" on the inside is any different than them grabbing a pair of $200 glasses that say "What I WANT" on the inside.

As to how much Stephen, I reckon as close to retail as I could get someone to pay (since they're brand new and if I sell them I'll be going to the store and paying retail for something else.) $180 is what I paid for them, but let me know if he's would want them and we can work with the price. They'll be brand new, Black framed, Green Mirrored glass (but not the 580 glass) lenses. I don't have them yet or I'd take a picture.

I had 580s that fell off my neck croakies and all and sank to the deep 2 weeks after I got them. I loved em but haven't gotten around to getting another pair (college...). A buddy gave me a pair of maui jims that he didn't like and I've really been satisfied with them. I haven't worn a pair of 580s in the gulf stream though....
