vince ayres Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 couldn't believe my eyes when a copy of eddie parker im gone on awake pressing i put on ebay just kept on going up and up eventually selling for £117,just wondered if any other boots or pressings have sold for similar silly prices? thought it might be worthy of discussion.

Guest Netspeaky Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 £561 is the highest paid for a boot so it got some way to go yet. .

The Trends on ABC, a thread in "Look At Your Box" - a boot fetched $267 which at the time was £170 - £180. I can only presume the buyer thought it an original. I hope he got a refund.
vince ayres Posted April 15, 2010 Author Posted April 15, 2010 Herbert Hunter - Born To Love You https://www.popsike.c...0071676173.html blimey! He even states it is a reissue and still gets 3 times more than original is worth,whats that all about?
