So my annual insurance is getting renewed soon and I haven't used the balance for eyewear yet since I have 8 glasses and sunglasses at the moment. I plan to use the balance toward a Persol or Tom Ford and resell it then use the proceed for fitness classes (I don't get fitness benefit)

So in term of reselling, does Persol or Tom Ford have a better demand? I'm looking at around $200-250. Is there any other brand that might also work?

seems like a good place.
My feeling is to buy frames from companies that specialise in frames.
I do no think there is anything wrong with "plastic" lenses per se. Most optical lenses are indeed that now. Trying to get prescription glass lenses it challenging.
