There probably exists fake ray-ban aviators, but is there anything wrong with the quality? I'm just looking for some on ebay for about $20 or less.

Well they are going to be as crappy as you can get. I personally had 2 pairs of fake Oakleys when I was a kid and the logos melted within 3 days on each pair, so I threw them away. My friend bought a fake pair of D&G sunglasses and the logo came off the side and the hinge broke. I would also say you're better off buying plastic frames than metal frames, as they use really shitty metal and they bend easily. Over all you're going to get pretty shitty sunglasses, but if you take (really) good care of them then they shouldn't break too quickly.

a health caution for fake sunglasses - some (probably most) of them may not have UV protection! what they do is just darken the glass, without the polarization/UV blocking. when you just darken the glass, your pupils dilate, and MORE UV light gets into your eyes, which can cause cataracts, decreased vision, and other eye problems later on. i'm not saying that all fakes are like this, but can you really trust a fake sunglass brand to spend the extra time and money to polarize their lenses as well?

What's the buy&sell/supermarket/ebay value of a pair of actual raybans, with case. The only problem with them is a slight chip on the inside of the right frame. You can't see it at all when wearing it and it doesn't effect comfort or anything like that. No one would ever know until you show them. The lens and rest of frame is in great shape. Just curious because i'm not sure if they're going to work for me. If i can't get anything for them i might just keep them for when i want to look like a preppy hipster. The new YMC spring lookbook on gargyle kind of inspired some possible looks this spring if i feel like it.

I have fake ray-bans that don't fall apart. The lenses are the important part. They probably are just as bad as not wearing anything at all. I don't go outside much so I pretty much wear them in the car, and the car glass blocks uvb rays.
I have just bought some randolph engineering aviators and I'm going to start wearing those more and ditch the cheap ones.

Most glass and plastic sheets will actually filter a large amount of UV out. Not saying it's not bad to have a totally untreated, tinted piece of glass in front of your eyes, but it's not terrible.
