Last-minute bidding drives up the price on Tamara Mellon's classic "Icon" boots

These Tamara Mellon "Icon" boots sold for an impressive $405.  What's especially impressive is that I was tracking this auction and it went into the final minute of bidding with only a $71 bid.  I thought someone was going to get a real deal on these, but then the bids shot up within the last minute.

These size 39 boots were made in Italy and feature a sexy 105mm heel and nicely pointed toes.  These are the classic black leather knee-high boot style.  They're also trendy in that they can be worn slouchy.  They've just recently been discontinued by the designer, which is interesting considering how popular these are with the fashion bloggers.  Tamara Mellon herself also wore them for several photo shoots.
