Looks like a great deal! Is it?

Posted by Ira at Wednesday, September 21, 2011

Got this in the inbox yesterday morning. I'd imagine that many of the other bespectacled St. Paulites who received thought, "wow, that's a great deal." In fact as of right now, 221 people have bought into this.

I haven't paid more than $40 for a pair of glasses in years.

I'd bet dollars to donuts, my final price for even my moderate single-vision prescription will be much, much more than the $220 I'd be getting for my $40.

They're giving you the first $180 off -- which probably lines up nicely with their profit per pair sold.
