EBay Bad Auction Alert--Size 11 Marlows

"MARLOW" Polo Ralph Lauren shoes

After someone linked to the pair of RLPL shoes on the discount shoe thread, I executed an Ebay search. The above shoes popped up. They are advertised as the Polo Benchmade (C&J) Marlow Shell Cordovan Wingtips. The shoes pictured are, in fact, Italian made crap with a retail price under $200. Just a friendly warning from NCT...

I saw the same thing. I figure it's just a mistake of GVH's part.

Below are the actual RL cordovan bluchers which retail for $695. You'd see them @ off-price sellers not before pigs take up gliding.

There was an actual pair of Marlowes (brown shell, not wingtip) on ebay a few months ago. I think they went to around 300. There were selling in the retail store in late Nov for 300 as well.

The black calf marlowes on ebay last week in 11D went for a little over 230 IIRC. This is a good price for this shoe.

I have both the black and cordovan versions of this shoe and they're among my most worn casual shoes.
