I bought a pair of Sidi shoes second hand for my wife - they are size 43. Unfortunatly, they didn't fit her. But they are in very good condition. So I decided to throw them out on E-Bay.
I bought them for $6.00 and the current bid is $96.00.
My fear is that somehow I have misrepresented them or that people have the wrong idea.... How could I be making 1,600% profit on these things.
The condition of the shoes are as follows -
Uppers - almost perfect. Rear plastic is shinny as the day it was new. Buckles are in perfect condition except for some small marks where they have been worked in and out of the attchement point. But otherwise the uppers are mint.
The inside looks prestine. A little dirt on the tung, but no other signs of wear.
The soles have slight tread wear on the back cleat - and some scratches around the clip attachement area - but nothing out of the ordinary. They have a spot for some clip or bracket at the toe, but the bolts are a little scratched.
I can't find them anywhere to check what retain prices would be - I threw them out there for 30 bucks and they took off.
Worst case I guess is if the winner complains about the "Nearly New" condition, I will simply refund his money...
Here is the link to the shoes - please take a look and tell me what you think.
