Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" over-the-knee boots continue to sell well years after their original release





I was hoping to snag these Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots in a rare size 9 for their starting bid of $250.  What's interesting is that the seller originally listed these without a "Buy It Now" option.  However, it appears that someone contacted the seller and they negotiated at "Buy It Now" price of $350 and the seller relisted them with that option.  This was more than I wanted to spend, but I was prepared to put in a bid at the original starting price of $250, especially considering they appear to be in pristine condition.


Even more interesting is that the seller stated they purchased these about two weeks ago for $450 and that they were only worn once.  These had to have been purchased on the secondary market (consignment?) as they haven't been available outside of eBay for several years now.

Regardless, I'm still glad to see these boots fetch a good price!  Also, not bad for the seller's first sale considering their feedback rating was "0" and they just joined eBay last week!
