Hundreds brave long, cold lines to snap up Snapchat Spectacles in New York

Enthusiasm for Snapchat's pop-up sale of video-capturing sunglasses bubbled into a second day as people camped out in hats, scarves and sweaters

As temperatures dipped and high winds whistled down Manhattan's Fifth Avenue on Tuesday hundreds waited in line for the chance to snap up this season's must-have tech toy - Snapchat Spectacles - and the possibility to make some extra money.

This was the second day that tech company Snap Inc's Spectacles pop-up store had opened on 59th street and enthusiasm for the video-capturing sunglasses hadn't waned. Its doors were closed until 4.00pm but by 12.30pm, the line to purchase had already stretched around the corner to Fifth Avenue and up to 60th street. There were about 150 people waiting at that time, still with three and a half hours to go.
