    Anyone ever heard of them, I have the opportunity to buy a pair for $80? Is it worth it and how do I know if they are true to what he says they are? Here are a few pics he sent me...

    Never heard of them. I do like the way they look though.

    What kind of lighting are they under and how well do you know the guy? Those look like tomatoe clowns and the atinics or whatever make their stripe look blue but its really just white. However if you look closely at them under normal light there is a small blue outline of their white stripe but I highly doubt their whole stripe is blue.

    I would say the same, those are tomato clowns. I'm not sure what pair goes for normally.

    IMO, they look like tomato clowns under actinic light. Now that doesn't mean they aren't "blue stripped" clowns but I would be highly suspicious. I would want better pics under daylight lights.
