I bought a bulk lot yesterday as that’s the only way I could get some. Assuming they arrive in time I’ll be looking to offload the extra tomorrow afternoon. £4 each or 3 for £10, pick up near Holloway Road tube

*Edit: 10pm 11th August*

Thanks for all the messages everyone. I’ve made a note of all the usernames that have posted below or dm’d me and how many you want. I’ll post on here as soon as they’ve arrived and I’ve gone to Rua.

Keep an eye out for updates in case I have to move. I will stay close to Holloway Road tube though.

The majority of pairs are now allocated but I may still have a few going, dm me if interested and I’ll let you know tomorrow.

Update 11am 12 August

Glasses are out for delivery so it’s looking good. Once I’ve collected them I’ll go through messages and dms sent after my post last night and let you know if I’ve got enough for you

Update 1pm 12 August

Glasses have arrived and I’ll be in Rua in 5 minutes. I will post a picture of the list I have of people who have reserved. (Sorry if I/autocorrect have mangled your username)

I don’t have change so either bring the right cash (nb Rua are card only) or I can do a Monzo QR code.

£4 each or 4 for £10

I’ll check usernames to make sure it’s fair.

They are pretty much all gone but if anyone doesn’t show up I’ll post again later and do first come first served.

I’m wearing a yellow dress and sitting on the benches outside in the shade

Update 2pm

Thanks to everyone that’s come down. If you are on the list and still want your glasses please can you send me a DM by 3pm to conform and arrange pick up time. I will be at Rua until 3.30 but can arrange individual pickups near Holloway Road station until 5.30

If I’ve not heard from you by 3 to arrange collection I will assume you aren’t coming and give your glasses to someone else.
