it's crazy how small the depreciation is on the rare shell colors, especially Alden boots. as a % of retail price, they retain more of their value than any other shoes I think. over and over again. these were $650 ish at full retail and will sell used for $500- $550 I bet. brand new Allen Edmonds shell, which retails for $500 +, will sell for $300 on ebay. even lightly used under $200 typically. also, it's rare to see ravello, whiskey, cigar, etc shoes in very used shape on the 2nd hand market. most of the time you see them they are lightly worn

Yes it appears he is using illegal keywords in his titles. But he also seems to be going the extra mile here to size the shoe properly. Nice shoes, I'm glad they are too small.

Nice shoes - Cheaney Handgrade are about £300-350 in their new Lime Street store, and very nicely done for the money.
