The Leffot Ravello LWB makeup in 8.5D.   Wonder if they will sell. 

"Buy it now" for $1K.

I mean: seriously?..

Wonder if the seller is a SF member...presumably he is because references the ravello scarcity. The sad thing is that someone will lay down 1 large for this used (but beautiful) pair.

Once someone bids on it the Buy It Now goes away. Someone who is interested in them is not forced to pay the Buy It Now price, if they place a bid. It's just an option for someone who wants it at that price immediately.

Got it. Still, $750 is already a markup from the Leffot price, right? More power to the seller if he can get that price.

Maybe but it's hard to tell since many on this thread are from CA.

More seriously, this is totally absurd to sell brand new or used Alden shells at such a price, whatever the scarcity of the Ravello, #4 may be.

Once again, the law of supply and demand...
