Good deal on these eBay AE Park Aves?

Hi all- I just purchased these Park Aves on eBay for $150 and can’t believe they were this good of a price. It makes me question whether something is off, as Park Aves drop to around $220 at best when bought from AE. Based on the pictures, these don’t appear to be seconds or recrafted shoes being passed off as new but wanted to get thoughts if there’s something you think I’m missing here. The seller has very good feedback too so I’m hopeful I just found a good deal.

Assuming those are the actual shoes, I don’t see anything unusual. I’ve seen AE selling for as little. Perhaps he has some inside line and is able to pass the low prices to his customers.

They seem to be stock photos but the seller has great feedback and accepts returns so we’ll see

I received these today and they were perfect. Definitely happy and have to admit a little surprised given the price here but I would definitely recommend this seller.

Allen Edmonds is going pretty low these days on most of their models. They seem to be rotating which models are going low, but most are making the list at one point or another.

Agreed- I’ve noticed that, particularly with their most recent sale in January. However I haven’t seen Park Aves this low though.

The park avenues were $199 in the fall. But yeah, they don’t hit the sale list as frequently as others (and still $50 more than what you paid)

great shoe regardless of this discussion. Wear it with pride.

Probably not park avenue. But I see AE below $150 on eBay all the time, sometimes below $100
