A deal on high-end designer black leather opera gloves

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these Tory Burch long black leather opera gloves for $80.  These size 7.5 gloves measured an impressive 22.5" long.  The seller stated that original retail on these lightly worn gloves was $225.

As nice as these gloves appear, I'm surprised that a pair of designer gloves would have the seam across the glove, which is usually an indicator of less expensive gloves.  I'm not sure why, but the horizontal seam across the glove is usually a dealbreaker for me.
