Warby Parker is using really cheap frames though. (And Zenni is even worse). I stopped buying at both. At Costco you can try and choose the frame directly and at the end walk away with higher quality glasses for the same price. Same with co

But does it just mean that the best current strategy to buy is do either time-based or price-based spread out buying? I.e. invest a bit every month or invest a bit when market drops another 15%.

You are just advancing my point. I agree with what you say, but my point is that what is taunted as egalitarian fair system - “once you are in, it’s easy to transfer, just click the Transfer button” in reality doesn’t work like this at all.
