Biondini OTK boots with chain decor


Although I could do without the chain decor, these Biondini over-the-knee boots are pretty incredible. As is typical with Biondini boots, I especially like the straight shaft, the clean lines (except for those chains!) and the sexy spiked heels. And the Italian leather just looks gorgeous!

I have to wonder if these chains clank against the boots when you walk in them? In my opinion, that's not necessarily a good thing.

eBay boot seller nunya-bidness sold these size 7.5 boots for $152.60.

A pair of classic black leather OTK boots by Biondini would rank near the top of my boot wish list!

Nine West OTK boots fetch a decent price


It was nice to see these Nine West over-the-knee boots in a size 9.5 sell for a respectable $80.99. They're the same style as those I bought at TJ Maxx at the Legends earlier this year - and these sold for about twice what I paid for mine. Plus, mine are new with tags and these are used.

As I've only tried them on once or twice, I'll probably try to sell my pair on eBay this fall.

Basic black leather thigh boots sell for $173.50


eBay boot seller nunya-bidness scores again by fetching $173.50 for this nice, but basic, pair of black leather thigh boots. They're size 7, 30" or crotch-high and made by Non Stop, a brand I'd never heard of before.

Wild Pair crotch boots sell for $430.50!


Even without better pictures, these size 8.5 Wild Pair crotch boots sold for an amazing $430.50! Even more interesting was that they were listed like this with no mention of of being thigh or crotch-high: THE WILD PAIR FASHION BOOTS SIZE 8 1/2 B WOMEN USED.

When I see these boots fetch prices like this, I'm tempted to put my size 9's up for auction considering how little I get to wear them. I found the selling price especially interesting as I was considering purchasing an iPod Touch 32gb model, which would have set me back about $432.

So why do I keep these boots when they have great resale value on eBay?!

They're made of thick, luscious leather which is rarely found in most boots. Their crotch-height definitely makes them the tallest of any boots I've owned (except for chap boots, which I've decided are impractical). Worn cuffed, they're still thigh-high. Worn uncuffed, they make you feel sooo sexy and powerful. Granted, I'd like spikier heels, but the rest of the boot's style makes up for that. Not having a zipper, they can also be difficult to pull off, but the zipper-less style makes for much cleaner lines.

I also take great satisfaction in the fact that I snatched these up using Buy It Now for $50 plus shipping! That, and the boots have some history, as the seller told me that the only time she wore them was to a Halloween party here in KC!

Okay, I think I'll keep these boots for awhile.

Amazing last-minute bidding on Ralph Lauren OTK boots



These Italian-made Ralph Lauren black leather OTK boots look very nice with quality leather and sexy stacked heels. They're a size 9, stand 26.5 inches tall, and the seller said they'd only been worn a couple of times. And I thought I might get a deal on them...

When I bid on these boots with 1 minute, 40 seconds left in the auction, the price was $62.89. When the auction ended just 90 seconds later, the price of these boots had shot up to an amazing $333.88!

This is what makes eBay so fun, especially if you're the seller of an item that gets some fast and furious bidding at the last minute!

More great glove modeling fetches a high price

More sexy leather opera glove modeling from eBay seller "rocannalea." I really like the look of the long leather gloves stretched out next to the sexy blonde hair!

These size XL 30" long black leather gloves sold for an impressive $148.39. I'd like to think the very sexy modeling plays a part in that!

Vintage motorcycle crotch-high boots sell for $511!!!

Whoa! eBay seller nunya-bidness sold these size 8 vintage motorcycle boots for a whopping $511 to a bidder in France! They're custom-made of nice thick black leather and 30" tall with unusual pull-up metal rings at the top rear of the shaft. Although these are womens' boots, the styling is very unisex. These one-of-a-kind boots fetched a deservedly high price.
