Best site to sell old prescription contact lenses?

I have some old prescription contact lenses. I'd normally just throw them away but these are an expensive brand and recently purchased ... probably about £100 worth of lenses so seems a shame to throw them away.

I am aware than you cannot sell prescription lenses on ebay.

What is the best site to sell them on?

    I think the chances of you finding someone anywhere with the same prescription as you and willing to risk buying what are in fact second hand contact lenses is low (yes I know they aren't open but how does the buyer know how they have been stored). Most people wouldn't risk it.


    If you are going to try I would have thought gumtree would be your only option.
