$180 is pretty fair (with respect to a RB3025) from a local brick-and-mortar.
I own at least 7 RB3025s (call it an obsession
), most of them from
www.smartbuyglasses.com.sg. They start undiscounted at $180-$200 for the base RB3025 to high-200s for polarised lenses; all fair prices on their own. The kicker though is within any (sometimes surprise) discount codes which could save you a further 10-20/30(!)%. Free shipping, usually <5 business days delivery.
My suggestion - get on their mailing list, and if you are patient enough, sit it out for a bumper surprise code.
Again, $180 locally is definitely a fair price.
To the above comment on "don't they usually cost >... " - NO. I generally avoid buying direct from local brick-and-mortars. It is indeed unfortunate but I simply cannot justify paying in excess of 40-60% for their overheads.
