Metal Eyeglass

can anyone explain the eyeglass frame scam?
Hi am in Australia
Can anyone explain why a piece of tiny plastic or metal worth maybe 50 cents can end up as a designer glasses frame worth hundreds of dollars.
In relation to just about everything else in the world made of similar materials, they must be the most expensive items on the planet..pound for pound.
Is it the same all over eg Asian countries?
I ama confused future eyeglass wearing citizen..
I buy my frames off eBay and get my Rx put in. Typically I favor aluminum cateye Turas from the 1950s. My computer glasses are 14K gold from 1860. They were $40 on eBay and my Rx was $25 on top of that. I have some sterling ones from 1803. I paid $165 for them. There are options other than the cheap wire and plastic stuff.
