I found these boots less than an hour after they were listed, made an offer for a buy it now and checked to see if I received something back from the seller only to find out the auction was ended.  They were up for no more than two hours.  In my book, they are worth no more than nine bills to a grand - congrats to the lucky buyer. 

I had boots just like these, but in much better condition in the sole area.  A couple of bills, give or take, is what it'll take to get these boots in serviceable condition.  These are perfectly aged and exactly what collectors search for.

*Update:  They were relisted shortly after being taken down and officially sold to the highest offer.
