Ebay question: 12D RLPL/EG Barksdale

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Fellows.

I have a pair of 12D RLPL Barksdales (penny loafer, burnt pine?, skin-stitched camel toe) that I won from GVH. They are retardedly nice, but slightly too narrow for my full 12D foot.

I'm torn between keeping them and trying to stretch them, and selling them. The second place bidder has already contacted me offering to buy them if they don't work.

Question is this:

Can anyone think of a reason I should not price them higher than my purchase price ($240 shipped, item 220189089124)? The Randroid in me feels he could profit handsomely, but the human in me says, well, this guy was nice enough to make the offer so I could try the shoes risk-free.

Reason this is posted in the B/S forum is that I may end up listing them here depending on the input I get from you all and whether or not the second place bidder ends up buying them.

Brand new? Sure you could get more...I'd say in the range of $400. Or you could offer them to me for $275 and make a profit

I don't think you need to stretch them per se. Like some EG's, they are made to form to your feet after you wear them a few times.

The same thing happened with me. It took about 4 wearings for my size 12 Barksdales to fit right.

Great price by the way. I paid about $400 for my pair.

I have the same shoes in the same color in a 11.5D and they were $150ish (worn 3-4 times), initially they were tight tight....but loosen up nice and mold to your foot.

Regards.

I bid $285.

Hey, did you plan this?!?

Didn't plan this. Ended up selling them to second place finisher for modest profit pending payment.

Thanks for the feedback. At least he knows where to look if they end up not working for him.
