What are you looking to get for them? I like the cut of McQueen and think they're very well done for designer jeans, but in my experience McQueen basic items like jeans tend to follow the unfortunate "Costume National Disorder," by which they have really high retail prices that never fetch much at resale. For example, I got a new pair of McQ's from a/w 2005 with the logo on the back pocket (not the raw denim, but a slightly distressed/whiskered model) that were about $495-525 retail for $60 on yoox. So, depending on what you paid, it may be tough to get your investment back unless you got them at deep discount. BUT, they are great jeans regardless. As such, giving an estimate on what you'd like to get from them would help (for example, $75 is probably do-able... $220 probably is not).

Are you joking? USD$60 for Mcqueen is a freaking awesome deal.
Was it one of those odd odd sizes?
I only see it at about USD$200 sale for 'ordinary' McQueen jeans.

The only problem is that McQueen is cut true to size.
I can wear most brands of jeans Italian 46 but cant fit into McQueen 46 because it is too tight.

It was a size IT 48, but they had lots of other sizes at that time, too. Just check out Yoox and ebay... catch them at the right times and there are TONS of McQueen stuff for very low prices (at least in the US). Nevertheless, this was more than a year ago, so perhaps it's changed...

Damn! Thats my size. Well not exactly my size but the closest to it.

Just scouted ebay. Unless you are talking about Antik Denim Mcqueens. I dont see it at Yoox either. Damn good deal nonetheless.

Dont see that many cheap Mcqueens either. What I see are well, not really wearable or at a 'normal' size.

No, I definitely don't mean Antik denim McQueens. Anyway, keep an eye out, as the good deals are there (maybe not at this exact moment, but you see what I mean). I didn't have troubles getting lots of McQ items very reasonably about a year ago on yoox... I got some shoes, sandals, jeans, tees, etc. and probably paid 10-15% retail for all of them. As well, there was a long time on ebay where xstyleshop, yoox's ebay presence, had lots of McQueen items, too, that didn't sell on yoox even during the sales.

Yup I got some from xstyleshop too but certainly not at 10 to 15% off like you did!

Do they run like a 33? Because I have a pair of stone washed alexander's in a 32 and they fit pretty good, a little big though. But if these run true 32 I may be interested.

Yeah these are true to size, I have posted the actual measurements in my previous post.

I have to apologize due to my urgent trip, I won't be able to arrange for a local pickup until probably in January. I might be able to have my friend help me complete the transaction.
