1. I can edge your lenses to fit this new frame. $90 and give me 30 minutes
2. I can solder your old frame - $30 and give me 30 minutes. no warranty, the finish won't match, and it won't be as strong.
3. Oops, I'm sorry. I didn't notice that your frame is titanium/stainless - can't solder it.
4. Hey I have a frame that fits your lenses. $90 and give me 2 minutes.
5. Complete new pair (if SV) from our special rack. $99 and give me 30 minutes.
6. Obviously you know now that accidents can happen any time. Since you rely on you eyewear to drive, read, keep your job, etc - we really need to talk about a having a backup pair.
I think given the choices, most people will not choose the soldering route. I would just be careful not to assume that people want to get off cheap and put money in the repair of 2 yo specs.
Not that I am against soldering. It's just not my number one tool in my toolbox that I reach for.
