Someone practically steals a pair of Coach "Monet" OTK boots!

These Coach "Monet" black leather over-the-knee boots were a real steal for someone.  Not only was the seller's Buy It Now price of $40 a deal, but the seller accepted a best offer.  These were a size 8B and they appeared to be in very good condition with some wear on the soles.

These boots were made in Italy and originally retailed for $498.

This specific style of boot is several years old now, rarely appears for sale online and is highly sought after.  The only other pair listed on eBay is a new size 6.5 pair listed with a Buy It Now price of $259.99.   On Poshmark, a pre-owned size 8.5 pair is listed for $150, a pre-owned size 9.5 pair for $150 and a NWOT size 9.5 pair for $200.

A beautiful pair of vintage 1980s black leather Wild Pair thigh-high boots

eBay boot seller "blacbird95" sold these vintage Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots for their Buy It Now price of $169.

Although pre-owned, these size 8.5 boots were in near-mint condition.

This has always been one of my favorite Wild Pair styles with sleek, pull-on styling, sexy spiked heels, almond toes and grommet detailing near the top of the shafts.  Had these been in a larger size, I might have been tempted to snap them up!

These would be great boots to pair with skinny jeans and a black leather jacket for a rock concert date night!

A nicely-modeled pair of Wild Pair crotch boots sells for a very respectable $355!

Although originally listed with a Buy It Now price of $499.99, the seller changed to an auction format and sold these vintage 1980s Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots for a very respectable $355.

With the exception of a few minor nicks to the leather and minor wear to the sole, these vintage boots were in very good condition and in a popular size 8.5.

I especially have to appreciate the freshly modeled photo showing these boots paired with what appears to be a striped swimsuit or leotard.  The boots look stunning out in that bright sunshine and I only wish the seller had provided a few more well-modeled photos.

A pair of vintage Dolce and Gabbana thigh-high boots sells for $350 but needs some real rehab

These rare vintage Dolce and Gabbana black leather thigh-high boots sold for $350.  The seller originally listed them for with a Buy It Now price of $1,000 before dropping the price to $500 and then $350.

These D/G boots have long been some of my favorites.  Any other time, these boots, in this size 40, would have been very tempting had they been in better condition.  Unfortunately, there appeared to be a fair amount of wear to the leather around the soles, heels and toes.  However, the real dealbreaker was that it appeared that the heel on the right boot had been broken and not properly repaired.  It looks to be almost bent in this first photo.

And in these photos, there's an obvious split in the sole at the top of the heel.  Laying side by side, it also appears that the heels don't line up.

Any other time, $350 would have been a deal for these boots.  However, to get them in "like new" condition seems like it would take another $200 investment from a good shoe repair shop.  While these boots are usually super sexy, this is a pair of "project boots" for someone who doesn't mind spending some extra money to make them really nice again!

Again, that heel looks like it's facing too far to the front in this photo below.

Those poor heels are just trashed!

For what it's worth, the buyer did leave a positive review with just the text "great quality."  Assuming they studied the auction photos, at least they knew what they were getting into!

Vintage black leather thigh-high boots by Emilio Pucci sell for $250

These vintage designer black leather thigh-high boots by Emilio Pucci sold for their Buy It Now price of $249.99.  These beautiful boots were a size 38 and featured 4" metal heels with an impressive 26" Italian leather upper.  The seller stated that these were worn one time.

I'd never seen these boots before but have to admit that they're pretty impressive and appear to be very well-made.

The stitching detail on these was very impressive, too.

Interesting as this identical pair in the same exact size is currently listed with a Buy It Now price of $549 and shows considerably more wear on the soles.  However, I did like that this seller choose to show these cuffed as well.

Vintage Biondini OTK boots sell for $185!

These vintage Biondini OTK boots sold for their impressive Buy It Now price of $185.  These size 7 boots were made in Italy and featured a classic design with foldover cuffs and what appear to be very walkable, yet sexy, spiked heels.  Cuffed, the seller stated these were knee-high at 21".  Uncuffed, the seller stated these were thigh-high at 27".  I wish the seller would have shown them uncuffed!

As with most vintage boots, these needed to have the heel tips replaced, but that's an easy, inexpensive fix.

These would have been very tempting in a larger size!  The style of these is timeless - classic black leather dress boots that looks great with everything from skinny jeans to a pencil skirt for the office!

Michael Hoban for North Beach Leather trench coat

This vintage Michael Hoban for North Beach Leather trench coat received 9 bids and sold for $222.50.  Still impressive, but far less than its Buy It Now price of $599.

This size 7/8 was made of soft lambskin leather with gold buttons.  I especially like the wide collar which would look even better turned up for that mysterious spy look!

It appears to be in excellent condition for a vintage leather coat.

Wild Pair crotch-high boots sell for $400!

Even in a small size 7, these rare vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots sold for a very impressive $399.99 plus shipping.  The seller stated these were like new and only worn to try on.

These boots measured a very impressive 35" tall with 4" heels.  A true Wild Pair classic nicely modeled!  It's too bad the boots themselves weren't a little more well-lit.
