I wanted black plastic and silver metal (not a lot of variations from manufacturer to manufacturer there). I could understand your point if you were to go with color or tortoiseshell frames for instance, but in my case, I'm more than happy with my selections.
Even if I was not happy with the frames I selected, I could list them back on eBay and sell 'em myself at minimal cost. Pretty inexpensive way to go about it.
Eyeglass frames (even from discount places like Lenscrafters) have huge markups. It's a racket.

I didn't say to shop based on what it looks like alone, I just advised to care about what they'll look like on your face. Absolutely, buy online if that's what you want to do to save money, but for a first time buyer, as duffman says he is, he should at least try a few on to see what they look like first. Once you've figured out if what you like will actually look good on you, THEN go buy online.
