All, be careful with Ashford. I bought a pair of glasses under this deal. I received a very flagrantly fake pair. Ashford makes you pay for return shipping, and doesn't refund original shipping, either. I had to dispute through PayPal - who ruled in my favor, agreeing the glasses were fake. (Ashford is Grey market, and doesn't get their merch from the manufacturer. I wont be buying from them again.) (how do I know they were fake? I have a real pair, and it was pretty easy to spot.)
Also commenting with a buyer beware story when it comes to Ashford. My story involves a watch, so what I experienced may not apply to these sunglasses, but dealing with them was an extremely unpleasant experience. If you have any issues prepare to be annoyed.

I've only had one experience with them and it was the exact opposite. I ordered a pair of Carrera's a couple weeks ago. They were 100% authentic, looked new, but both lenses had a scratch down the middle (most likely due to poor packaging). I emailed and they immediately responded, asking for a photo. I replied, with photos, and they replied saying that they will process the refund immediately, with no need to return the sunglasses. I was thoroughly impressed with their customer service. YMMV, I guess. 🤷🏻
Bought two ray-ban from ashford before, tripled checked and it was authentic (as far as I can tell, tiny details on nose piece, laser tagged lenses, etc)

I took a gamble and ordered one. Let's see if it's take or not. Used PayPal just in case.
There's no need to think that you're making a "Gamble" with Ashford/jomashop. It's pretty much obvious that these gray market sites sell returns/overstocked/discounted, etc. Items. That's what gray market is. The items they sell though is authentic. Will it be what you pay MSRP for? Of course not but you'll still get something that's basically the (authentic) thing. I assure you that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference before these and what you might buy at sunglass hut. You're buying something at a cheaper price because it's not fresh out the factory..
With that said though these kind of shades went out of style about a decade ago. It seems like this is normal price for what it is and where it's from. This is clearly a sponsored/shill post. You can pay about $<5-15 for this exact thing without the Ray-Ban branding
mistakes will happen but please don't think Ashford will, knowingly, sell you something fake.

I detest PayPal and have always wondered how they can get away with screwing over people and not get sued every other day BUT I gotta give it to them that they help out with refunds and return shipping costs.
They helped me get a refund from Accessories4less.
*Their "Factory Refurbished " electronics were exactly like something found a at pawnshop.

PayPal will refund your return shipping charges up to $30 when purchased using PayPal up to 12x a year.
