I posted 32 days ago asking how to tell if they are real [1]. Amazon informed me that they are fake. Unfortunately I have no way to buy glasses now and will use the pin whole method, but its pretty dissapointing. I hope no one gets hurt

- TAeGTrVNmP 9y agoI've got some extras that I'm willing to share. E-mail me your address and I'll mail you a pair. I'm in SoCal so they should arrive in SF in time for the eclipse. I got mine directly from one of the NASA-approved suppliers, precisely because I don't trust Amazon anymore. Had to order a small batch, even though I only needed a few: I figured not going blind is worth ~$30.
- wtvanhest 9y agoWow, thanks! What is your email? Mine is in my profile.
- TAeGTrVNmP 9y agoHmm, I don't see it. Maybe my karma's not high enough? Looks like my e-mail's not visible either; sorry I'm not too familiar with HN's system. Anyway, my e-mail is [HN account name] at x0.ms.
- wtvanhest 9y agoI just saw this. I appreciate you offering, but I missed my window as I will be out of town for a wedding. I appreciate the offer!
- SeoxyS 9y agoI'm not the person you're replying to, but I'd love to grab a pair from you too if you have extra :) ; and to pay for its cost / shipping to SF of course.
