Dolce & Gabbana OTK boots make a rare appearance and sell really well


These stunning vintage black leather over-the-knee boots by Dolce & Gabbana received 25 bids and sold for an impressive $460!  What was interesting was that the seller started this auction at $199.99 with a Buy It Now price of $399.99, so the final price of these actually surpassed the Buy It Now price!  From what I could tell from the obscured eBay user IDs, it looks like three bidders decided they really wanted these boots and got into a bidding war which really drove up the price.

I also think it helped that 1) these boots in this style rarely appear on eBay, 2) the size was a popular size 40 (US 9.5/10), 3) the boots were new-without-box but came with D and G dustbags, and 4) the boots were nicely photographed and modeled.

It was really nice to see these boots appear on eBay again and sell well!
