Patience on eBay pays off

I just snagged these beauties off of eBay this morning, beating out my competition by $.01, but it was worth getting up early for. I guess some people just put in their bid and then go off to work or whatever, so if you reeeeally want something, it's worth waiting for if you can.

Since good 13-14 heels are hard to find on eBay that don't look like CFM pumps & boots, the rare ones are just that much more desirable. I'll have an update once they arrive in the mail.

What's "CFM"?

I never bought shoes from Ebay, but I usually watch an item until the last minute and place a bid probably 30s before bidding ends. That's usually the best chance to get an item, though someone else might have the same idea. If you really want it, put your bid significantly higher than the last bid, you will not pay the whole price as far as I remember but will win the item.

Hi Andi!

If I do, I surely will, but I definitely will be giving them a fair workout in the meantime :-) Might be some time before I tire of them, as they look awesome.

SQ: An interesting style. Interesting indeed. What attracted you to those shoes? Inquiring minds wanna know!

ShockQueen · 23rd August 2008, 17:05

I just like styles that don't scream "hooker shoes" all the time - they're a bit unusual, and I like the moderate heel height. I searched on zappos.com, and they have more styles by the "Annie" brand, but nothing in 13W (or 13WW) - so I'm thinking this seller got a lucky break by finding some, because the same seller has 2 more pairs by the same brand for sale now on eBay too - may be worth checking into, since I got mine :-)

The seller will be shipping by priority mail, so they'll be here next week - will have an update once I have them on.

enjoy those shock. Not my cup of tea personally though.

Nice on SQ - looks like your cup of tea. :)

I agree with Mr. X's comment though... already you have half of an idea of what I like hehe. And it's always fantastic to win an aution by 1p/1c isn't it... I did the same thing lately on a game on eBay!

I just got them in the mail this morning, so of course I had to slip them on! OH MY GAWD how comfy and stylin! I love the way they feel, and they go so well with my flare jeans! Definitely another favourite!

Where will you wear them, SQ?
