Vintage Mary Popps Italian boots sell surprisingly well considering their condition

It appears to be a seller's market for vintage OTK and thigh-high boots right now.

These vintage 1980s OTK boots by Mary Popps started out with a pricey $249.99 opening bid and ended up with 6 bids selling for $288.00!

These size 7.5 boots were made in Italy and surprisingly, the seller provided no measurements whatsoever.  In fact, there was barely even any text except that these were an estate find, have a bit of scuffing, and the top folds down to form a cuff.

While I like the clean lines and pull-on styling, I'm really surprised these boots fetched this price.  They're a smaller size and the heels, heel tips, and soles all show considerable wear.  To get these looking nice with new heel tips and soles would cost the buyer another $50-$75, I suspect.
