Vintage Nina OTK black leather boots

These vintage Nina black leather OTK boots are very nice and better yet, a size 10. Unfortunately, the seller started the bidding at $99.99, which is what they sold for. I was interested, but the bidding started too high for me!
p.s. I had forgotten, but I actually sold a pair of these boots on eBay back in 2006, a size 6.5 for $106.00.

Classic Italian boots sell for $20.57



Someone snatched up these very nice size 6 classic Italian black leather knee boots for $20.57. Although the seller didn't state the maker, an obscured picture of the label down inside the boot combined with significant powdering tells me these are Sesto Meucci boots. I bid just below this as I thought they'd have some re-sale value and I already have pictures of boots like this being modeled. Too bad the lining in these disintegrates so badly. Otherwise, someone got a great deal on a classic pair of boots!

Vintage gloves sell for $82.52?!


These 14" long black leather vintage gloves sold for a very impressive $82.52. Other than being a popular size 8 and having a slight gauntlet look for them, how these gloves fetched this high price is beyond me. Kudos to the seller!

More Wild Pair crotch boot goodness!


These size 6.5 Wild Pair crotch boots sold for a decent $222.50. Nice modeling, too, with the camera placed on the floor in kind of a submissive "lick my boots" position!

Vintage Italian OTK riding boots sell well!


Even in a very small European size 35, these very nice Italian black leather OTK riding boots sold for an impressive $152.50. These boots, in a larger size of course, are the style and quality of OTK boots I would definitely like to have in my collection!

Nice, tight skinny vintage black leather jacket



I really like the military-styling and tight fit of this vintage belted black leather jacket by Gandalf and Company (Detroit).

Epaulets, zippers everywhere, and a great collar! And it looks great on the model!

Just to prove how hot vintage, skinny leather jackets are these days, this one sold for $81.

I'd like to find something in a similar style and fit.

North Beach Leather and knit dress sells for $40!!!



Bummer. I lost out on this classic black North Beach Leather dress by $1.00! Another eBay leather buyer (I checked their purchase history!) got a real deal on this size small dress for $40.07! With the exception of a small scuff over one of the pockets, it appears to be in mint condition.

What really annoys me is the tremendous re-sale potential this dress has on eBay. I just checked my records and I sold this SAME STYLE DRESS in this SAME SIZE last November for $315!!! It would have taken minimal effort to re-list this as I already have several great pictures and am sure I could put my hands on copy from a previous auction.

Yes, someone got an incredible deal on a classic leather dress. Too bad it wasn't me!
