How much do designer sunglasses sell for here?

Honestly? Not much — and we'd rather tell you that up front than have you drive over expecting watch money. Sunglasses don't hold value like gold or watches: they scratch, styles rotate, and the resale market is thin. We will buy genuine designer frames, but text us a photo for a quote FIRST so you know the number before you make the trip.

Which sunglasses brands do you buy?

Ray-Ban, Oakley, Gucci, Prada, Persol, Maui Jim, Cartier, Versace, Dior and Tom Ford — genuine frames with their cases earn the most. Cartier frames with real gold or platinum finish are the exception to the rule and are worth bringing in or texting about on their own.

Should I make a special trip just for sunglasses?

No — that's exactly what this page is telling you. Don't make a special trip just for designer glasses. Text a photo first, get the number, and if it works for you, bring them along with anything else you're selling. They make a fine add-on to a gold or watch visit; they're rarely worth a drive by themselves.

Do lenses or condition matter?

Yes. Scratched lenses, bent frames and missing cases all cut the number. Original case, cleaning cloth and receipt help a little. Prescription lenses lower resale value further — the frames are what's being bought.

LBC Pawn Cash 4 Gold 3% Loans* buys designer sunglasses in Boston — Ray-Ban, Oakley, Gucci, Prada and more — but we're going to be straight with you before we sell you on the trip.

We'll buy them — but be straight with yourself: sunglasses don't hold value like gold or watches. They scratch, styles rotate, and even famous names resell for a fraction of retail. So: text us a photo for a quote first so you know the number before you drive over — and please don't make a special trip just for designer glasses. Bring them along with your gold, your watch, your camera — that's the trip that pays.

Text a photo of the frames and case to 857-867-6468 — if the number works, we'll see you; if it doesn't, we just saved you a drive.

Sunglasses brands we buy

Ray-Ban — Aviator, Wayfarer, Clubmaster, made-in-Italy frames
Oakley — sport and lifestyle frames in clean shape
Gucci, Prada, Versace, Dior — current designer frames with cases
Persol & Maui Jim — the quiet-money classics
Cartier — including gold and platinum finish frames (see below)
Tom Ford and other genuine designer frames

The Cartier exception: Cartier frames with genuine precious-metal finishes are bought as jewelry, not as sunglasses — those are worth a text or a trip on their own. See our Cartier glasses page.

What keeps the number from dropping further

Original case and cleaning cloth
Unscratched, original lenses (prescription lenses count against)
Straight frames, tight hinges, no repairs
Receipt or proof of authenticity

Every pair is authenticated at the counter — fakes can't be bought at any price. Bring a valid photo ID; every buy is recorded as Massachusetts law requires.

How it works

1. Text photos first. A photo of the frames, the inside temple (model and size are printed there) and the case to 857-867-6468 — get a realistic range before you travel.

2. Bring it in. 1107 Commonwealth Ave, Boston — Mon–Fri 11–6:30, Sat 11–4:30. Bring a valid photo ID (18+). We check and price the item at the counter, in front of you.

3. Get paid the same visit. Cash on the spot for your sunglasses — or a pawn loan at 3% per month* if you'd rather borrow against it and keep ownership.
