A reserve price is the minimum price the seller will accept. This price is hidden from bidders. To win, a bidder must have the highest bid and have met or exceeded the reserve price.
VINTAGE LADIES SHOES - Evan Picone Red Leather Lows 7M
A WORD ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES
All eBay sellers incur shipping costs that exceed the mere price of postage, including packaging materials, labor and shipping agent fees (among others). Some sellers hide those charges in the price of the item; we choose to include those charges (when appropriate) where they belong--in the SHIPPING AND HANDLING section of the listing. The price you pay for shipping is the cost of the postage PLUS any of these assorted charges.
A wise consumer understands that the true cost of an item is both the item's price AND the charge for shipping. These are the numbers you should compare when deciding between competing sellers. If you do this, we're confident you'll see that even with our shipping and handling fees, we're generally lower in price than our competition. Please don't punish us for putting our costs in the appropriate place. We're honest and up-front about how and why we charge what we do. When leaving Detailed Seller Ratings (DSRs) please bear this in mind and give us FIVE STARS in all categories, including SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES. We certainly appreciate it--and we appreciate your business.
Evan-Picone Red Leather Low-Heel Ladies Shoes
Size 7 M
1 1/2" Low Heel
Made In Spain
All leather - sole and upper
Red, super-soft and supple leather
These wonderful Evan-Picone classics are stylish and practical at the same time, and the super-soft glove-like leather promises comfort for those long days. It's difficult to say exactly what these shoes are made of--the leather is so buttery it could easily be calf, kid or even something more exotic...and the original price of $459.00 (the tag is still on the sole!) indicates there is something special about these for sure! This delightful pair of shoes shows relatively minor wear on the outside, looking nearly new for the most part (even on the sole), though there is noticeable flaking on the inside "sock" area (presumeably from age). Overall these are in very good condition and will provide wonderful service for many years to come.
Classic styling, quality Spanish construction, amazing leather material, high-dollar retail price and Evan-Picone quality...what more could you want at a starting bid of less than twenty bucks?
This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION -- the highest bid takes these incredible shoes. Also, we'll ship these for FREE in the Continental United States (via the method of our choice)! Don't miss out...BID NOW!
WE HAVE RECENTLY ACQUIRED a wonderful collection of mostly-vintage shoes and boots of incredible quality, from names like Bruno Magli, Via Spiga, Ferragamo, Zodiac, Andrew Gellar and more! These were a remarkable find from someone who clearly had the "shoe disease"--she had HUNDREDS of pairs of shoes, many that weren't even in her size! They were finally parted with, and we've picked up most of the collection. Please View Our Other Items For Sale for many more shoes and boots that may interest you. We'll be listing these throughout the next several months and you're sure to find many pairs you just want to own. We're starting most of these at just $9.75 opening bid, and many will have a $19.75 Buy-It-Now price! If you like fine shoes, particularly of the "vintage" variety (mostly 1980s, but some older) add us as a favorite seller now and KEEP WATCHING OUR LIST OF ITEMS! We'll be adding about three pairs per week...keep an eye on us!
Our items are always shipped via the United States Postal Service, and by the most expedient and cost-effective method available. Often this will be PRIORITY MAIL, but occasionally it will be First Class, Parcel Post or Media Mail. We don't control the time it takes the Post Office to deliver packages, only the time it takes for us to get them in the mail. Most items are shipped the business day following the day of purchase (with rare exceptions). Once they are in the post, it is entirely up to the carrier when they are actually placed into your hands. When our listings specify a particular method of shipment, that's the one we use; otherwise you'll see "STANDARD FLAT RATE" as our shipping method, which means "THE SHIPPING METHOD OF OUR CHOICE", based upon the effective cost and benefit of any particular type of delivery.
For eBay auctions/sales we accept PAYPAL ONLY. Winning bidders/buyers must make payment arrangements within 24 hours of auction end, and typically we expect payment within three days of auction end (unless other arrangements have been made with us, within 24 hours of the sale, in writing). Failure to complete payment accordingly will result in a cancellation of the sale and filing of an "UNPAID ITEM DISPUTE" with eBay. We don't like taking this step...it's bad for you and it's bad for business. Please don't bid or buy if you can't live with these payment requirements.
1. The quoted shipping price accompanying this listing is for shipments to STREET ADDRESSES in the CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES ONLY. We will ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, other United States territories, and to countries outside the United States on a case-by-case basis, but only with pre-approval. If you wish to have an item shipped outside of the continental United States you MUST contact us ahead of time for pre-approval and a shipping quote. Failure to contact us before purchasing, if you live outside the continental United States, may result in your bid or sale being cancelled. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS MUST HAVE A SATISFACTORY FEEDBACK RATING...generally, this is a minimum of ten transactions completed satisfactorily (with positive feedback) with other sellers from the United States.
2. We use the United States Postal Service for virtually all of our shipping. Our shipping charges are most often quoted as "Standard Flat Rate"; everyone pays the same price for shipping and WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY PARTICULAR SHIPPING METHOD OR TIME OF ARRIVAL FOR ANY PRODUCT unless specified in the "description" part of the listing (or if a specific shipment method is offered and you choose to pay the extra cost for that method). We usually ship via USPS Priority Mail, but any method may be selected at our option. Shipping methods such as Media Mail and Parcel Post can take a while to arrive--your package will be shipped promptly but once it leaves our hands it's up to the Post Office...please be patient with them as postal employees (like most overpaid, underworked government employees) have only one speed and it's S-L-O-O-W-W-W-W-W.
3. ANY SHIPPING CHARGE QUOTED includes the cost of postage as well as reasonable packaging/handling costs and extra services (such as delivery confirmation) that we may choose to incorporate. When you see a difference between what you paid for shipping and the actual shipping costs...this is why. We keep all of our prices/fees as reasonable as possible (oftentimes your savings over retail will be incredible!). In order to offer such low prices we operate on a razor-thin margin and must recover all of the costs associated with marketing our products, including the costs of shipping materials, etc. PLEASE DON'T RATE US POORLY ON SHIPPING CHARGE DSRs simply because we put our Handling fees out in the open, where they belong.
4. It is our usual practice to ship ONE BUSINESS DAY after payment has been received, though this is not guaranteed; shipping can take longer on occasion. Payment is not considered as "received" until it has completely cleared PayPal. This means that if your payment is being drawn as an "eCheck", or must otherwise be drawn from an account which requires a delay in payment to us, your shipment will be similarly delayed. Under no circumstances will we ship an item before it has been paid for, and before that payment has "cleared" our account. Also, we positively refuse to participate in eBay/PayPal's goofy "payment hold" policy. Should the occasion arise that PayPal or eBay expects us to ship an item before they release payment funds to us, we will immediately cancel the sale and direct PayPal to issue a refund of anything you've paid. We will not be held hostage by this incredibly ill-conceived practice. If you believe your transaction requires the use of an escrow service, contact us and we'll see what can be arranged. Otherwise, we will ship when we've been paid...period.
5. There are occasions when shipments will take longer than one day to complete. It's rare, but it does happen. This most often occurs around holidays, but may also be the result of vacations, buying trips, illness, etc. In general we are very speedy shippers and our feedback rating bears this out. Please understand that once in awhile things don't go completely according to plan, and this includes shipping times.
6. It is our usual policy to send an email to let you know when a shipment has left our facility. Once it's in the hands of the shipping agent or carrier, we have no control over how or when it arrives at your location. Please do not hold us responsible for delays for which the assorted shipping agencies may be accountable.
7. It is our policy to offer insurance on all of our listings. We will not be held responsible for loss or damage that occurs during shipment if you choose to decline insurance. Insurance is ALWAYS RECOMMENDED, and on some listings is required (as will be spelled out in the "description" part of the listing).
8. We will combine shipments/discount shipping charges TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE WITH A MINIMUM DISRUPTION TO OUR SHIPPING PROCESS. Please inquire if you have interest in combined shipping.
9. We do not negotiate our shipping prices or policies, ever. If you do not agree with our shipping price, policy or carrier choice/method, please do not bid or buy from us.
10. There are no local pickups available.
11. View Our Feedback--you will see that we are a respected operation with a stellar reputation for shipping cost, speed and reliability. We want to earn positive feedback, OUTSTANDING DETAILED SELLER RATINGS, and repeat business. We couldnt' achieve those goals if we didn't handle our shipments properly.
Thank you for bidding/buying from us. We appreciate every bid and purchase!
Due to the wide variety of products that we offer for sale, we are not generally able to provide support or technical assistance. Please contact the product manufacturer for support issues.
Our product descriptions are accurate to the best of our ability to make them so. In most cases the descriptions come directly from the product packaging or from the manufacturers' websites. We cannot be responsible for typographical or other errors made by the product manufacturer. Likewise, we cannot guarantee the suitability of our products for your particular purpose. Please research our products to be sure they will meet your needs before bidding on them.
We will leave appropriate feedback, to the extent that eBay's new (senseless) policies permit, for all of our customers. We generally wait until the transaction has been completed satisfactorily, and all parties are satisfied, before leaving feedback. We will know this has been achieved once you leave positive feedback for us. We appreciate your taking a moment to leave a good word for us when you've been pleased with our products/services. BEFORE LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK or DETAILED SELLER RATINGS OF LESS THAN FIVE (5) STARS, please give us an opportunity to address any issue you may have. We have a virtually-spotless feedback record and we want to do everything possible to keep it that way!
Our return policy is spelled out below, except as may be noted in the item description. Generally, we will only accept a return if our listing has grossly misrepresented the product or if the product is in some way defective. In the case of a defective product, we will replace the product whenever a replacement is available. We will refund the purchase price (but not the shipping charges) if a suitable replacement is not available, but under no circumstances will we replace or refund until the original product is returned to us, in its original packaging and ready for resale if possible. All shipping charges (including return postage) are the responsibility of the buyer (as is customary with most mail order operations). PLEASE EXAMINE YOUR PURCHASE IMMEDIATELY UPON ARRIVAL...returns will only be accepted if arrangements for return are made within 3 days of your receipt of the product, or within 10 days of when we originally shipped the product, whichever comes first.
Placing a bid or otherwise arranging for purchase of any of our products means you have read and agree with our payment method, terms and conditions, return policy, shipping/packaging policies, etc. This agreement is a legally binding contract and will be enforced as such. Please don't buy from us if you intend to be in any way dishonorable, including failing to pay for your purchase in the timely manner outlined above.
Thank you for your business!
