Michael Kors "Fulton" black leather hobo bag

Someone got a real deal on this Michael Kors "Fulton" black leather hobo style bag for $36.  This is 11% of the original $328 retail!

Although the seller stated this had some cracking on the edges of the strap and light scuffs on the logo, I've rarely seen this bag sell for less than $100.

Meanwhile, this identical bag, also pre-owned, but in much better condition, sold for $90.  I especially like how the seller provided measurements as part of her photos.

Armani Exchange long black leather opera gloves

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these very nice Armani Exchange long black leather opera gloves for $83.  These gloves were new with tags, a size 7 and measured an impressive 23 3/4 inches long.

I've never been a fan of the horizontal seam on the forearms of long leather gloves, as it looks like someone bought a shorter glove and decided to make it longer by adding more leather to it.  However, I do like the elastic gathering inside the wrist which helps keep the gloves snug against the hands.

Since these were new with tags, I wish the seller had stated or shown the price tag with the original retail.

Another pair of Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots sells for $200

These Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" thigh-high boots in black suede sold for $200.  These size 8.5 were listed as new, although it appears from the photos that these were lightly worn.  It could have been from the modeling, but these does appear to be some debris on the soles.

A deal on Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots at $199

Even with pricey $24 shipping, these Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" black leather thigh-high boots were still a deal for $199.  They're a nice, large size 9, appear to be in very good, lightly worn condition, and come with their original box.

Still some of my all-time favorite thigh-high boots, these are super comfortable and have very walkable short heels.  These look amazing worn over skinny jeans!

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!
