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.

Vintage long black leather gloves from Nordstrom

These vintage 21" long black leather opera gloves from Nordstrom sold for an impressive $105.50.  These size L gloves featured studded detailing down the side of each glove.

Although Nordstrom used to feature long leather gloves regularly as part of its fall/winter collection, it hasn't done so for years.

Kudos on the modeling of these stunning boots as well!

An unusual style of belted black leather blazer by Vakko

This dressy vintage black leather jacket by Vakko sold for $50 plus pricey $21 shipping.

This size M leather jacket is a rare style I haven't seen before.  It's styled like a double-breasted blazer, but with a partial zipper closing instead of buttons and a belt.  I also like the long notched pointed collar.  The jacket also features gold buttons on the sleeves and pockets which make it look even richer.  And is usual for Vakko items, the leather looks buttery soft!

This would look great paired with a turtleneck, black skinny jeans and riding boots.

Vintage Danier black leather trench coat

In a season when trench coats were really in style again, especially leather and faux leather varities, someone snapped up this vintage Danier leather trench for $67.50 plus shipping.

This coat appears to be in excellent condition and was a size 10-12.  I especially like the double-breasted styling and wide collar, which would look great turned up.

The black leather trench coat never goes out of style!  I'd pair this with tall black leather boots, matching leather gloves and a beret!

Vintage Rare 1980s G-III black leather moto style dress

For $50 plus shipping, someone got a nice deal on this vintage 1980s G-III black leather moto-style dress with asymmetrical zipper.  The dress was a size S and appeared to be in excellent condition for a vintage item.

Vintage Biondini OTK boots sell for $185!

These vintage Biondini OTK boots sold for their impressive Buy It Now price of $185.  These size 7 boots were made in Italy and featured a classic design with foldover cuffs and what appear to be very walkable, yet sexy, spiked heels.  Cuffed, the seller stated these were knee-high at 21".  Uncuffed, the seller stated these were thigh-high at 27".  I wish the seller would have shown them uncuffed!

As with most vintage boots, these needed to have the heel tips replaced, but that's an easy, inexpensive fix.

These would have been very tempting in a larger size!  The style of these is timeless - classic black leather dress boots that looks great with everything from skinny jeans to a pencil skirt for the office!

Michael Hoban for North Beach Leather trench coat

This vintage Michael Hoban for North Beach Leather trench coat received 9 bids and sold for $222.50.  Still impressive, but far less than its Buy It Now price of $599.

This size 7/8 was made of soft lambskin leather with gold buttons.  I especially like the wide collar which would look even better turned up for that mysterious spy look!

It appears to be in excellent condition for a vintage leather coat.

Rare style of red hot vintage Wild Pair boots sell for $200

These sexy red vintage leather thigh-high boots by Wild Pair sold for their starting bid of $200.  These size 8.5 boots measured an impressive 29" tall.
