These size 7 vintage black leather Dolce and Gabbana thigh-high leather boots sold for their starting bid of $450, especially impressive considering late April is off-season for boot sales on eBay.
I'm sure part of the appeal is that the seller stated the boots "look like new, never worn outside."
Never mind that the seller provided one original photo and the other photos were "borrowed" from previous successful sales of these boots, including very nicely modeled photos by seller "livefire."
