Unworn Wild Pair crotch-high boots sell for $275

These Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots in a size 6.5B sold for their impressive Buy It Now price of $275 plus pricey $17.45 shipping.

These boots measured an impressive 34" tall and appear to be unworn, which likely helped fetch a nice price despite their small size.  However, as with most Wild Pair boots this vintage, it appears that the heel tips are cracking and will need to be replaced.  Fortunately, this is an inexpensive repair.

A seller does well with three pairs of Wild Pair thigh-high boots, unworn and in their original boxes!

An eBay seller recently did very well listing some pairs of vintage 1970s/1980s Wild Pair boots in different colors.  The seller stated that all pairs came from a climate-controlled storage unit that had not been opened since 1985.   Better yet, all of the boots were unworn and came in their original boxes, which I'm sure contributed to their high resale prices.  All three pairs were size 7.5 and the same style.

This pair in basic black sold for $157.51.  I've always admired the clean lines of this style with no zippers and the ability to wear them cuffed.

This white pair in the same style as above sold for $162.51.

This pair in red fetched the highest price at an impressive $183.00.

Stunning vintage black leather opera gloves from Saks Fifth Avenue sell for $127.50!

These stunning vintage Italian black leather opera gloves by Saks Fifth Avenue sold for a deserving $127.50.  These 23" long gloves came with the original $125 Saks price tag still attached.

If these are vintage, I would not guess they're older than the 1990s as the tag looks fairly recent.

The seller also stated that they came with their original box.  If someone bought these for a Christmas gift, they definitely made a nice presentation!

The seller estimated that these were a size 7 and if they had been my size, I definitely would have put in a high bid as these are the best-looking vintage gloves I've seen on eBay in quite awhile!

Rare style Wild Pair vintage thigh-high boots with fringe fetch an impressive price

These nicely modeled vintage Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots with fringe sold for a very impressive $192.50.  I suspect these boots sold for such a high price for a few reasons 1) the large size and 2) the rarity of this style on eBay and 3) what appears to be no wear on the soles!

A deal on Wild Pair unworn crotch boots for $88

Some lucky buyer got a pair of the Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots in MINT, UNWORN condition for $76.39 plus $12.29 shipping.

What was interesting is that the seller, Seattle Goodwill, listed these as a size 5. However, upon looking at the seller's photos, I saw that they had misread the size and they were actually a size 8.



Interesting that the seller was Seattle Goodwill, so obviously these showed up as a donation to that store. With the except of a designer pair of Bally black leather knee-high boots I purchased at a thrift store several years ago, I haven't seen any boots worth buying at our local thrift stores. I can't imagine my reaction if I saw any thigh-high boots at a thrift store, especially the holy grail of thigh boots, the Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots!!!

Of course, my other thought is, "Who buys boots like these and doesn't wear them and then gives them to a thrift store?!"

Never-worn Wild Pair crotch boots sell for $130

A new listing for a pair of Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots recently appeared in my eBay mailbox. They were listed with a starting bid of $99 and a Buy It Now bid of $180 with free shipping. The boots were a size 7 and the seller said she was selling them for a friend who had never worn them. The seller said her friend bought them in France (the French have great taste in boots!) and stored them in her closet for many years. The seller said she had new heel tips installed and had the bottoms colored black as recommended by the shoe repair shop. I have to admit, this does make them look much classier!

Some buyer got a good deal on a pair of never-worn, classic black leather Wild Pair boots, with some extra TLC given to the heels and soles. These boots sold for $129.57, $50.00 below their Buy It Now Option of $180.00.
