Vintage Nina OTK black leather boots

These vintage Nina black leather OTK boots are very nice and better yet, a size 10. Unfortunately, the seller started the bidding at $99.99, which is what they sold for. I was interested, but the bidding started too high for me!

p.s. I had forgotten, but I actually sold a pair of these boots on eBay back in 2006, a size 6.5 for $106.00.

Classic Italian boots sell for $20.57

Someone snatched up these very nice size 6 classic Italian black leather knee boots for $20.57. Although the seller didn't state the maker, an obscured picture of the label down inside the boot combined with significant powdering tells me these are Sesto Meucci boots. I bid just below this as I thought they'd have some re-sale value and I already have pictures of boots like this being modeled. Too bad the lining in these disintegrates so badly. Otherwise, someone got a great deal on a classic pair of boots!

Vintage gloves sell for $82.52?!

These 14" long black leather vintage gloves sold for a very impressive $82.52. Other than being a popular size 8 and having a slight gauntlet look for them, how these gloves fetched this high price is beyond me. Kudos to the seller!

More Wild Pair crotch boot goodness!

These size 6.5 Wild Pair crotch boots sold for a decent $222.50. Nice modeling, too, with the camera placed on the floor in kind of a submissive "lick my boots" position!

Vintage Italian OTK riding boots sell well!

Even in a very small European size 35, these very nice Italian black leather OTK riding boots sold for an impressive $152.50. These boots, in a larger size of course, are the style and quality of OTK boots I would definitely like to have in my collection!

Nice, tight skinny vintage black leather jacket

I really like the military-styling and tight fit of this vintage belted black leather jacket by Gandalf and Company (Detroit).

Epaulets, zippers everywhere, and a great collar! And it looks great on the model!

Just to prove how hot vintage, skinny leather jackets are these days, this one sold for $81.

I'd like to find something in a similar style and fit.

North Beach Leather and knit dress sells for $40!!!

Bummer. I lost out on this classic black North Beach Leather dress by $1.00! Another eBay leather buyer (I checked their purchase history!) got a real deal on this size small dress for $40.07! With the exception of a small scuff over one of the pockets, it appears to be in mint condition.

What really annoys me is the tremendous re-sale potential this dress has on eBay. I just checked my records and I sold this SAME STYLE DRESS in this SAME SIZE last November for $315!!! It would have taken minimal effort to re-list this as I already have several great pictures and am sure I could put my hands on copy from a previous auction.

Yes, someone got an incredible deal on a classic leather dress. Too bad it wasn't me!

Wild Pair crotch boots sell for only $92!

Some very lucky bidder scored a great deal on these classic Wild Pair crotch boots for $91.99. They're a small size 6.5 but with better pictures and modeling, these boots have been known to have tremendous re-sale value on eBay. However, I'm curious as the seller referred to these several times as "Cat Boots." Boots like Catwoman would wear? I don't get it!

Another Wild Pair work of art

Someone snapped up these sexy size 10B Wild Pair thigh-highs for $179.99 using Buy It Now. Super spiky heels, pull-on styling, an impressive 29" tall, in great condition and a desirable size.

Super sexy suede stiletto Spanish boots!

While I'm not normally a big fan of suede boots, these are nice and fetched a nice price as well - a very impressive $177.50.

Vintage, but they appear to be in mint condition. Made in Spain, they're size 9 with a sexy stiletto heel and 28 inches tall to boot. What's not to like?!

Vintage OTK boots with major cuffs

These vintage over-the-knee boots with major cuffs sold for a respectable $113.50.

With the cuff undone, they measure an impressive 28" tall with a sexy 3 3/4" stacked heel and nicely rounded toes. These rust-colored OTK boots would look great paired with skinny jeans this fall.

The selling price was even more impressive as there was no size listed and the seller wasn't responsive at all ("check the measurements") when someone asked about the size.

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.
