Another pair of Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots

These new without box vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots sold for their Buy It Now price of $179.99.  These size 7.5 boots were nicely modeled and do appear to be in excellent, like new condition.

Vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots get snapped up for $49.95!!!

I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw this post come through on my eBay alerts this morning.

Only to click on the link and see this.

In this case, the early bird really did get the worm!  These vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch-high got snapped up for $49.95!!!  One of the best deals I've ever seen on these boots, especially considering their new condition for the low, low price of $49.95.  I wonder how long the auction even lasted?!

I honestly can't say that I'm surprised as these boots even looked stunning from the thumbnail.  So they would have sold at around 7:30am local time, when I was getting ready for work.  Sigh...at least they weren't my size.

And did I mention FREE shipping?!  These babies are made of a nice thick leather so there's some pretty decent weight and I predict will cost at least $10-$12 to ship, especially since the seller is promising Priority Mail.  Yes, the winner practically stole these!  It will be curious to see if they reappear at a future date and sell for much more, what I like to refer to as "investment boots."

Although a small size 7, these were new without box!  The leather has that "like new" sheen and the soles are pristine.  Kudos to the seller for keeping these pristine without the original box.  However, as with most vintage Wild Pair boots I've come across, the heel tips will have disintegrated and need to be replaced.  Fortunately, an easy and cheap fix at most shoe repair shops, usually around $10.

If you've followed this blog (thank you!), I've tracked several sales of this particular Wild Pair style - just type "crotch" in the search box.  Not to be crass, but these boots top out at about 34" uncuffed and are truly crotch-high on most women.

This new size 10 pair sold in October 2018 for it's Buy It Now price of $399.99.

And for comparison purposes, this size 7 pair sold for $259.99 way back in 2013.

I've seen these sell for as much as $400-$500 during the holiday season.  Only the Frederick's of Hollywood thigh-high boots with metal heels fetch as much for vintage boots.

Finally, as a reward for reading down this far, I would be remiss if I didn't share one of my all-time favorite photos of these being professionally modeled.  You're welcome.

Gianvito Rossi over-the-knee boots nicely modeled

These Gianvito Rossi over-the-knee boots were listed for $399 but "the seller ended the listing early because the item is no longer available."  I suspect the seller got an unsolicited offer for an acceptable price and decided to sell.

These stunning boots were a popular size 8.5, listed as "new without box" and featured pull-on styling, a very walkable 3.25" spiked heel and pointy toes.

For me, these are pretty much the perfect dressy boot, perfect to wear to the office with a pencil skirt and then over skinny jeans for a night out!

Kudos on the very nice modeling!

Two identical vintage North Beach Leather military style dresses sell for two very different prices

eBay can be a fickle beast.

Here are two recent auctions for vintage North Beach Leather military-style dresses in royal blue.

This size XS with a serious rip in the lining sold for $279!

While this identical dress in a size S, in excellent condition with more professional photography sold for only $160!

Red hot vintage Wild Pair thigh boots sell for $150

eBay boot seller "marmfrut" sold these vintage 1980s Wild Pair red leather thigh-high boots for their starting price of $149.99.

These size 7 boots were made in Chile and featured pull-on styling with rear lacing detail.  Except for a scuff on the toes, these appeared to be in excellent shape.  The seller did state that they had a slightly musty smell, which unfortunately, isn't unusual for vintage boots not stored properly.

If I'm reading my Wild Pair label coding correctly, these boots originally sold for $149 which means they've held their value for nearly 40 years!

A deal on a designer leather catsuit for $599!

Designer leather catsuits rarely appear on eBay, so kudos to the lucky buyer who snapped up this Thierry Mugler beauty for $599!  A small size 2-4, the seller (in Canada) indicated it had been worn on the tv series "Polar."

I did some quick research hoping to find a photo of it modeled or what it originally retailed for, but I couldn't find anything.

A pair of boots sells for $11,000?! Really?

I'm still not sure whether this auction ended with a "real" winner or not as these Enzo Brera boots sold for an astonishing $11,000.  This is by far the most I've ever seen a pair of boots sell for, on eBay, or at full retail!  The bidding started at $139 and it appears that two bidders got into a bidding war and drove the price up to $11,000 with 30 bids.

These nicely modeled new-with-box size 38 boots were sold by a designer boot seller in Russia.
