This is a nice, antique alligator bag. Very nice for its age.

I'm sure that was a badass bag back in the day, but old stuff like this bag kind of creep me out.

Not sure if this is the right thread - I purchased two cashmere cardigans from this seller last week, and they're phenomenal - very well made (including turnback cuffs) and excellent quality thick cashmere. If you're a small size grab yourself a bargain - these are the equal of some I've seen sold for £250; http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/kingcraigfabrics/

LK should get this for his telephonic needs.

The retractable cord is what really sells it.

Pricey but hot wingtip bals by Nettleton in 9.5D. Rare to see a medium width in this unworn state. Check out those soles -- can definitely tell they're the slightly more elegant brother of the iconic Nettleton longwing.

What a tasteful item.

May be a little too narrow for me.

Those aren't C&J.

Whew....thanks for pointing that out.

Who made them please? Just out of curiosity.

I don't understand why people spend well upwards of $100 on well-used shoes...

I don't get why people would spend $10 for well-used shoes. If you aren't buying them at a thrift shop out of necessity ...

I just sell what the people want. Sometimes I feel guilty when an extremely worn pair sells for a lot. I think to myself, "You paid that much for these?"

I make sure the really beat shoes are accurately described and photographed. Nothing else I can do. I'm certainly not going to talk someone out of it.

I believe they're Cheaney. Definitely not C&J. No question about it.
