Only three weeks ago or so I came cycling home from an errand I saw a pair of shoes, not even in the trash, but neatly placed on the edge of the sidewalk a few streets away from home saying take us! I passed at first thinking, selling shoes can be iffy, but stopped in my tracks, went back and just dropped them in my bag for further inspection at home. Because they did look nice and could always be good for the thrift shop.
Big surprise to find Isabel Marant printed inside. A luxury shop that I work for sometimes to do their stocktake.
I found the model, still available in other colours easily by searching for heeled sneakers. My colour in limited sizes only available by a reseller at new price. And that is... €475! Only sign of wear on my pair was on one of the shoelaces.
I listed them €100, got 90 and quickly. I'm quite happy. What do you think? Mind you, the first owner could have bought them outlet which can be up to 40 % discount.
Anyway in all my years of selling curb find this is my best ever. After the lamp foot at €75 years ago.
