This is the glossiest leather of any of my shoes. It's not anything like corrected grain, is it?

it seems like this thread has become an echo chamber of sorts, where we have convinced ourselves that used men's clothing is worth $$$$$$$$$$ just based on the label/maker. for example, if all you knew was this thread, you'd think USED CORNELIANI-MADE POLO IS WORTH SO MUCH MONEY. but a quick look at ebay completed listings shows that used joints really aren't worth all that much on the open market.

So, it depends on what you consider a lot of money really. If you pick it up for $5-10, I think a return of $65-70 is pretty good. Not too many more effective ways to use your money, especially at so little risk.
Of course, one jacket will not a college education provide.
