Dents long black leather opera gloves

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these Dents long black leather gloves for $102.50.

These 24" long gloves were a size medium (7.5) and new without tags. These "made in England" gloves normally retail for near $200 US.

These gloves have great details in the buttons and stitch work.

Another pair of Dents leather opera gloves sells well

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold another pair of new-with-tags British-made Dents long black leather opera gloves for $124.00. These 24" long gloves were a popular size 8 or large and featured 3-point stitching detail on the back of the hand as well as nicely tailored mosquetaire wrist openings.

These are definitely a higher-end pair of leather opera gloves with some exquisite detailing.

Win some, lose some - a tale of two glove auctions

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these NWT Dents long black leather gloves (photos above) for a very impressive $255.23. These size 8/large gloves measured 24" long and feature very nice stitching detail on the back of the hand as well as nice button detailing on the mosquetaire opening. It's nice to see that brand name, quality leather gloves can still fetch a good price, especially since these are the same gloves I saw retail for $200 at Harrod's a few years ago.

Two weeks later, another eBay leather seller sold the exact same gloves (photos below) in the exact same size and only managed to get the opening bid price of $124.99, less than half of the previous sale! Checking both auctions, I also noticed that both had the same exact wording in the title, both ended on the same day at nearly the same time, as well has had the same starting bids and shipping rates. Even the photos were similar! I always thought eBay was funny (fickle?) this way, that all else being equal, the exact same item can sell for such a different price.
