These Coach "Monet" black leather over-the-knee boots have long been one of my favorite styles. I especially like the strap details and wider spiked heels. These "made in Italy" boots rarely appear on eBay these days, so it was surprising to see three pairs listed recently. Surprisingly, they sold for very different prices.
These were sold by one of my favorite sellers who wore them often in her auction listings. This size 8 pair sold for a very impressive $289.99! This was especially impressive considering the wear on this pair, although based on the other photos, these have obviously been re-soled.
This size 7.5 pair, also with considerable wear, sold for am impressive $185.00.
Someone got a real deal on this size 8.5 pair for $40!
However, the best deal might have been for this size 7 pair in pristine condition! These were snapped up for $50 using "Buy It Now."
Catsuits and long gloves, thigh boots and trenchcoats...these are a few of my favorite things!

Vintage Wild Pair crotch-high boots for $250
Someone got a decent deal on these vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots in a size 8 for their Buy It Now price of $250 with free shipping. These boots appear to be in excellent condition and measure a whopping 33.5 inches tall from top to bottom. This style rarely appears on eBay and has been known to sell for around $500 in larger sizes.

Long black leather opera gloves still sell well
These 25.5" long black leather opera gloves received 32 bids and sold for $102.50, a good deal considering they were a large size 8 and new with tags. Although I'd never heard of the brand before, it would appear that these were made in Italy.
They appear to be nice quality with nicely stitched slender fingers and no embellishments.

Designer black leather thigh-high boots from a UK brand
A boot seller in Switzerland sold these Michelle Keegan designer black leather thigh-high boots for an impressive $348! These new with box, sexy stiletto boots were a size EU 41 / US 10.5.
I'd never heard of Michelle Keegan before, and based on the photos, it's a UK brand. Even the gold-colored soles are stunning!
Although available in very limited small sizes, I was quickly able to find these boots on clearance for 65 pounds (roughly $92 US) at the UK website Very.

Vintage black leather thigh-high boots sell for $435!
A boot seller in Switzerland sold these vintage 1970s/1980s black leather thigh-high boots for a very impressive $434.83. These 38.5 / US 8 boots featured very clean lines, almond toes, and a nice narrow, stacked heel. Unfortunately, the seller did not list the brand but there is something with a turtle(?) logo on the photo inside the shaft. Otherwise, the heels and insides look like vintage Italian boots.
These boots featured a very walkable 3.7" heels and an impressive 25" upper above the heels. For as tall as these boots are, it does not appear that they are meant to be worn cuffed.
This is a classic, timeless style boot that I can see being worn with skinny jeans or a pencil skirt.

Rare Wild Pair chap boots...brand new in box!
These rare vintage "Wild Pair" style black leather chap boots by Euro Club in a small size 6.5 sold for $299. The seller stated these were Brand New in Box and not even tried on. The style, appropriately, is "Whip."
As the bottom photo shows, I really think these could have sold for a lot more had they been a larger size. Or possibly if the seller had offered international shipping.
The seller's text says it best:
These could possibly be a pair of the rarest chap boots on the planet. These are vintage, black leather, BRAND NEW IN THE BOX Euro Club by Sebastian Platto chap boots made for and sold at Wild Pair stores back in the 80's. Not only are they brand new never been worn, I don't believe these have ever been tried on! Very similar to the rare, highly sought after and desirable Wild Pair chap boots that have recently sold as high as $625-675 as evidenced in pic 12. Those are sold for prices not listed prices and they were not new with the box like this pair. I believe these Euro Club boots to be higher end and even more rare then the Wild Pair version. In fact, I have never seen another pair of these anywhere or for sale. These would be great to add to a collection, used as cosplay or would be the ultimate conversation piece if used as motorcycle chap boots! These are a holy grail find and I'm willing to pass them on from my collection for the right price! Soft, glossy and gorgeous leather, REAL FULL BLACK LEATHER UPPERS, man made sole, made in Chile, Size 6.5, 4" heel, approx 45" total height. Adjustable 35" distressed silver tone belt. Finish on belt buckle has lifted a little due to age but this or any other belt can be used. Boots appear as brand new and box is in good condition considering its age. Sale includes boots, original box and belt. No messages with offers below minimum bid please. No returns, No international shipping, Thank you for looking at these amazing boots!

A real deal on mens' crotch-high brown leather cowboy boots
All of the boots below were recently sold by eBay seller "suedensteele"
For $100, someone got a real deal on these size 9 mens' crotch-high brown leather cowboy boots custom made by Miguel Jones.
Finally, the same seller only got $25 for these nicely modeled brown leather OTK boots in a size 38. These 24" tall boots have some of the slouchy style which is popular this season.
For $100, someone got a real deal on these size 9 mens' crotch-high brown leather cowboy boots custom made by Miguel Jones.
As the bottom photo indicates, these boots measured a whopping 34" tall!
The same seller practically gave away these size 38 Marc Jacobs brown leather OTK boots for $28. They had a Buy It Now price of $100. Interesting as the black pair did not sell for its starting bid of $75. Another seller has those listed in a small size 6.5 for $495!
Again, totally grooving on that studded strap detail. I've always thought this style would look great paired with a black leather jacket for rock concert date night!
