Classic vintage 1980s 9 West OTK boots make a rare appearance

These vintage late 1980s OTK boots by 9 West sold for $59.99.  These boots were a size 9 and made in Brazil.  The seller stated this style was called "Starlight."

These boots measure 25" high with a very walkable 3" heel.  These have some nice slouch to them and I've also seen them worn cuffed.  These appear to be in exceptional condition, especially for boots that are around 30 years old.  The seller even posted a photo of their original box.  Also, kudos to the seller for nice modeling to show how they look with both solid and patterned tights.

I originally saw these boots listed in a Macy's California ad around 1985, I think.  It seems like the original price was $200.

Someone got a very well-made pair of boots in a timeless style that will go great with everything from leggings to skinny jeans to skirts.  Considering the rare style, condition and large size, I'm a little disappointed that these didn't sell for more.

A real deal on Frye "Melissa" black leather OTK riding boots

Someone got an amazing deal on these Frye "Melissa" black leather OTK riding boots for their starting bid of $22.90.  Unfortunately, shipping on these was a crazy $46, which I've decided is why eBay also charges fees on shipping.  Still, for $69, these were a good deal, especially in this size (8.5) and condition.  Brand new, these boots retail for around $200.

Although I'm not sure I've ever seen these boots cuffed, that's how the seller pictured them.  These even came with their original Frye box, which I would definitely want for storing these.

Coach Monet black leather OTK dress boots

I've been watching this particular style for quite awhile now, hoping to snag a deal on a pair.  However, these Coach Monet black leather OTK boots seem to hold their value as this pair sold for an impressive $155!

These size 11B boots were made in Italy.  The seller stated that these measured 23" cuffed and 25" uncuffed.  They appear to be in excellent condition as the seller stated that she only wore them twice.  Even better, they came in their original box.

These sexy boots would look great paired with everything from skinny jeans to a sweater dress.

It's too bad the seller removed the original price tag because I'd love to know what these retailed for.  All the seller stated was that "these were very expensive at the time."

A deal on Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots at $199

Even with pricey $24 shipping, these Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" black leather thigh-high boots were still a deal for $199.  They're a nice, large size 9, appear to be in very good, lightly worn condition, and come with their original box.

Still some of my all-time favorite thigh-high boots, these are super comfortable and have very walkable short heels.  These look amazing worn over skinny jeans!

Someone gets a real deal on $795 designer Tamara Mellon "Icon" boots!

Considering they had a Buy It Now price of $300, someone practically stole these beautiful Tamara Mellon "Icon" boots for $90!  That can happen when you start the bidding at $1!

These $795 boots were in a rare tan and a large size 11.  Although I'd much prefer these in black, I'd snap these up at this price in this size just to try them even with the pricey $18 shipping.

I think it probably didn't help the sale that the seller provided very few photos of the actual boots for sale and instead posted mostly stock and blogger photos.
