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!

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.

Vintage 1970s Donald J. Pliner tan leather thigh-high boots

These vintage 1970s Donald J. Pliner Beverly Hills thigh-high boots started with a bid of $19.90 and sold for an impressive $227.74.  Especially impressive considering the wear these babies show!

These size 39.5 boots were made in Italy and featured stacked wooden heels and nicely rounded toes.  It also appears that they can be worn cuffed thanks to the large slit at the upper rear of the shafts.  However, I was disappointed that the seller didn't list what was surely an impressive height.

These vintage boots would look great work with faded skinny jeans or a flowery boho-style skirt.

I bet these boots have an amazing history!

Vintage black leather thigh-high boots by Emilio Pucci sell for $250

These vintage designer black leather thigh-high boots by Emilio Pucci sold for their Buy It Now price of $249.99.  These beautiful boots were a size 38 and featured 4" metal heels with an impressive 26" Italian leather upper.  The seller stated that these were worn one time.

I'd never seen these boots before but have to admit that they're pretty impressive and appear to be very well-made.

The stitching detail on these was very impressive, too.

Interesting as this identical pair in the same exact size is currently listed with a Buy It Now price of $549 and shows considerably more wear on the soles.  However, I did like that this seller choose to show these cuffed as well.

A real deal on Frye "Melissa" black leather OTK riding boots

Someone got an amazing deal on these Frye "Melissa" black leather OTK riding boots for their starting bid of $22.90.  Unfortunately, shipping on these was a crazy $46, which I've decided is why eBay also charges fees on shipping.  Still, for $69, these were a good deal, especially in this size (8.5) and condition.  Brand new, these boots retail for around $200.

Although I'm not sure I've ever seen these boots cuffed, that's how the seller pictured them.  These even came with their original Frye box, which I would definitely want for storing these.

Coach Monet black leather OTK dress boots

I've been watching this particular style for quite awhile now, hoping to snag a deal on a pair.  However, these Coach Monet black leather OTK boots seem to hold their value as this pair sold for an impressive $155!

These size 11B boots were made in Italy.  The seller stated that these measured 23" cuffed and 25" uncuffed.  They appear to be in excellent condition as the seller stated that she only wore them twice.  Even better, they came in their original box.

These sexy boots would look great paired with everything from skinny jeans to a sweater dress.

It's too bad the seller removed the original price tag because I'd love to know what these retailed for.  All the seller stated was that "these were very expensive at the time."
