Someone practically steals a pair of Coach "Monet" OTK boots!

These Coach "Monet" black leather over-the-knee boots were a real steal for someone.  Not only was the seller's Buy It Now price of $40 a deal, but the seller accepted a best offer.  These were a size 8B and they appeared to be in very good condition with some wear on the soles.

These boots were made in Italy and originally retailed for $498.

This specific style of boot is several years old now, rarely appears for sale online and is highly sought after.  The only other pair listed on eBay is a new size 6.5 pair listed with a Buy It Now price of $259.99.   On Poshmark, a pre-owned size 8.5 pair is listed for $150, a pre-owned size 9.5 pair for $150 and a NWOT size 9.5 pair for $200.

A beautiful pair of vintage 1980s black leather Wild Pair thigh-high boots

eBay boot seller "blacbird95" sold these vintage Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots for their Buy It Now price of $169.

Although pre-owned, these size 8.5 boots were in near-mint condition.

This has always been one of my favorite Wild Pair styles with sleek, pull-on styling, sexy spiked heels, almond toes and grommet detailing near the top of the shafts.  Had these been in a larger size, I might have been tempted to snap them up!

These would be great boots to pair with skinny jeans and a black leather jacket for a rock concert date night!

A nicely-modeled pair of Wild Pair crotch boots sells for a very respectable $355!

Although originally listed with a Buy It Now price of $499.99, the seller changed to an auction format and sold these vintage 1980s Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots for a very respectable $355.

With the exception of a few minor nicks to the leather and minor wear to the sole, these vintage boots were in very good condition and in a popular size 8.5.

I especially have to appreciate the freshly modeled photo showing these boots paired with what appears to be a striped swimsuit or leotard.  The boots look stunning out in that bright sunshine and I only wish the seller had provided a few more well-modeled photos.

Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots sell for $180

These Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" black leather thigh-high boots received 10 bids and sold for $180.50.  With $20 for shipping, someone got a pair of my all-time favorite boots for just $200, which seems to be about the going rate for these boots these days.

Although the seller listed these size 8.5 boots as "new without box," the photo of the soles appears to show some embedded dirt.  Otherwise, these boots appear to be in like-new condition. 

Although not modeled, the seller provided some very nice photos.  However, it always makes me cringe when sellers of these boots show them folded over.  These boots were not meant to be worn cuffed, hence the elastic gore at the top rear of the shafts!

Another vintage pair of thigh-high boots sells for $300!

Another successful sale for ebay boot seller "minchycouture."

These rare Euro Club for Wild Pair vintage 1980s black leather thigh-high boots sold for an impressive $299.99.

These boots measure an impressive 29" tall with 4" heels and feature pull-on styling and four buckles near the top.  

For vintage boots, these are in excellent, lightly-worn condition with almost no wear on the sales.  As always from this seller, very nicely modeled!

Vintage Wild Pair crotch-high boots sell for $500?!

 eBay boot seller "minchycouture" sold these vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots for their Buy It Now price of $499.99.  I attribute this exceptional sale to the fact that the boots were in true "new without box" condition, a popular size 8.5 and very nicely modeled.

The 34" shafts of these boots appear to be in flawless condition as well as the spiky 4" heels.  As always, kudos to the fine modeling by this seller, which really helps sell these collectible boots!  If I had one issue, and it's minor, I wish the seller would have shown how well these boots cuff as well.

I'll let the seller's exceptionally well-written auction text speak for itself:

The ultimate! A true holy grail pair of the famous and ultra rare Wild Pair crotch boots!!! BRAND NEW never worn!! Did not even try on for photos. An unblemished time capsule from the Wild Pair stores of the 80’s! Gorgeous vintage black luscious and slinky leather with a beautiful gloss sheen. I’m a Wild Pair collector and this is by far the nicest pair I have ever seen. Perfect condition. Leather, toes, heels and bottoms are like brand new. A crown jewel of any collection. 34” long so these baddies will go all the way up! 4” heels and 20” at the top with a slight split collar to accommodate almost any leg. Can be worn folded down. Have them headline your collection or wear these bad girls to turn every head in the room. Very wearable and walkable. Pull on no zips to distract from the beautiful black leather! Impossible to find size 8.5!!! Once in a lifetime pair. Will offer for a limited time. No offers please.

Classic vintage 1980s 9 West OTK boots make a rare appearance

These vintage late 1980s OTK boots by 9 West sold for $59.99.  These boots were a size 9 and made in Brazil.  The seller stated this style was called "Starlight."

These boots measure 25" high with a very walkable 3" heel.  These have some nice slouch to them and I've also seen them worn cuffed.  These appear to be in exceptional condition, especially for boots that are around 30 years old.  The seller even posted a photo of their original box.  Also, kudos to the seller for nice modeling to show how they look with both solid and patterned tights.

I originally saw these boots listed in a Macy's California ad around 1985, I think.  It seems like the original price was $200.

Someone got a very well-made pair of boots in a timeless style that will go great with everything from leggings to skinny jeans to skirts.  Considering the rare style, condition and large size, I'm a little disappointed that these didn't sell for more.
