Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses have been sold out since they were released on September 30, 2025.
Ten months have passed and they're still scarce as hen's teeth.
I did find many pairs available on StockX, where current prices are around $830, not much more than the retail price of $799, though when they first appeared on StockX at the end of January they sold for $1,300.
In recent months I've occasionally used Google to search for a store near me that has them but no dice.
Just for lulz I asked Perplexity Pro to help me find a place to buy them one day last month.
It took the AI just under 9 minutes to finish its deep dive into the internet and report the results pictured up top.
Much more than I've been able to learn after hours of frustration trying to get this information via Google Search.
Lagniappe: It was fascinating watching the AI display its "thought" process onscreen as it went down myriad internet rabbit holes.
Long story short: I've got no interest in driving three hours each way to northern Virginia to do the mandatory in-person demo required before I can purchase them.
At $15/month (down from $20/month when I signed up last year) Perplexity Pro remains the best value for money of anything I've paid for in recent memory.
