Selling 1 Pair Pre-owned, Lucchese Full-Quill Ostrich Western-Style Boots

[South-Eye Ned]

I have two pair of Lucchese boots that I have had for decades that I would like to sell.  I bought both pair in the early 1990s when my feet were smaller.  My feet have grown 2 sizes larger and I can no longer fit into either pair.  Before I post these on eBay, I thought I would give the Forum the right of first refusal.  For this particular thread, I am posting info and pictures on the Ostrich Full-Quill, and have posted a second thread for the Goat.
 

I will answer all serious questions below, but prefer to discuss price in the SASS  messaging system.  The recent retail prices I quote are from Lucchese’s website.  Styles have changed a little, so I tried to find a close match to my originals to find the current retail price.  
 

I’m not a daily boot wearer, so I wore each pair probably 2 or 3 days a year each since the early 90s, to give you an idea of the frequency of use.  These boots were never subjected to walking in puddles or flood waters.
 

I would prefer PayPal and will not accept checks.  Below are the details on the Ostrich:

 

Lucchese Full-Quill Ostrich Western Style:

• Purchased October 15, 1994

• Original price = $699 (on sale; before tax)

• original receipt included

• Size = 9-1/2 D

• Current retail price  = $695

• Asking price = $250

• shipping:  my guesstimate based on eBay for boots = $20.

• The soles and heels are original;

• You want the belt, too?  $15. (It’s 34”, and it doesn’t fit, either.  I’ll put it in one of the boots).

Lucchese boots are made in El Paso, Republic of Texas
