This Express biker-style black leather jacket, which appears to be vintage, sold for a respectable $39.99. The jacket was listed as a size M/L and the seller said it was only worn once.
The details in this jacket are amazing - the asymmetrical zipper pull, which is very popular right now, really sets the tone for the style of this jacket. Then there's the rare zipper placement on the chest and shoulder. The lower back is accented with two more zippers and six metal Express tags. Finally, the epaulets are decorated with triangular metal studs. I might also add that it looks great zipped up and unzipped and creates two very different looks, especially with the collar turned up.
I might have bid on this sexy jacket if I'd been more sure about the size. I could definitely see wearing it with skinny jeans and boots on date nights!
Catsuits and long gloves, thigh boots and trenchcoats...these are a few of my favorite things!

A deal on sexy, spiky knee-high black leather boots from Stuart Weitzman
Speaking of deal on Stuart Weitzman boots, someone got a deal on these size 9.5 boots for only $68.07. Goodwill in San Francisco listed these knee-high boots. They're a classic style with sexy spiked heels and pointed toes - perfect for wearing with a skirt or sweater dress to the office in fall and winter!
Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots with original box sell for less than $130.
Someone got a very good deal on these size 7 Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" over-the-knee boots with their original box. The auction started with a Buy It Now price of $150 and when the boots didn't sell, the seller lowered the BIN price to $130. However, someone snagged these for a Best Offer, which meant they sold for less than $130. I'm guessing the seller let them go for $100. Even with pricey $17.80 shipping, this was a really good deal on these boots in a smaller size. These boots did appear to have some scuffs and more wear on the soles than most boots in this style listed on eBay recently.

A nicely modeled leather trench sale from a favorite leather seller.
Even with pricey $28 shipping from Canada, for $75 someone got a decent deal on a very nice black leather trench coat by Tibor. This size XS coat was sold by veteran leather seller "leatherbill" and as always from this seller, was very nicely modeled.
This leather trench meets all of the requirements for a classic trench style: double-breasted, epaulets, wrist strap detail, back vent, and a nice large collar. I think a collar can be a dealbreaker on a leather trench, as the right one can be turned up to protect against the cold winter winds or to add an air of mystery to an already mysterious look.

Some very nice vintage OTK boots get relisted with some great modeling
After relisting them several times, eBay boot seller "livefire" finally sold these very nice over-the-knee boots for $63.07. These size 8.5 boots were made by Santa Barbara and the seller indicated that they originally retailed for $175.00.
I think what helped the sale this time was that the seller posted several photos of the boots very nicely modeled. She modeled them with a skirt to show off a great work look and with jeans to show off a great casual look. A few of my favorite photos from this listing are below. Enjoy!
From her past listings, this seller has excellent taste in sexy boots and shoes!

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.

A deal on rare vintage Dolce and Gabbana thigh-high boots!
Someone got a real deal on these vintage Dolce and Gabbana black leather thigh-high boots! This size 37.5 pair sold for $130.38. The seller listed the boots as "new without box" and they do appear to be in excellent condition. I only wish the seller had provided pictures of these gorgeous boots modeled as well as uncuffed.
I've watched these boots for years and everything I've seen indicates that the original retail was around $1,200 when they first appeared in the 1990s. The seller shows a price sticker of $1,115 on this pair. I saw these boots in a larger size sell for $460 a couple of seasons ago on eBay, so they do have good retail value in the right sizes. I also had a woman in Denver tell me she bought a pair at Loehmann's for $199!
What's unusual about this pair is the decorative chain detail around the ankles. I'm pretty sure it's not original and if I were to buy these, the chains would come off! I'm not against a simple ankle chain to add a little bling to boots, but this style is a little too over-the-top for me and detracts from these gorgeous boots.
These stunning boots arely appear on eBay, and more often in suede than smooth leather. It's also challenging to find pairs in larger sizes.
If you own these boots or want these boots as much as I do, please be sure to leave a comment!
