NOTE: I MAY VERY POSSIBLY END THIS AUCTION UPON RECEIPT OF FIRST BID OR FIRST FEW BIDS SO DONT WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE TO PLACE YOUR BID IF YOU ARE TRULY INTERESTED IN THIS ITEM.

UP FOR GRABS IS A MADE IN USA, VINTAGE, BRAND NEW WITH ORIGINAL BOX, NEVER BEEN WORN PAIR OF COLE-HAAN  LEATHER TASSEL LOAFERS IN BROWN / BURGUNDY / MAHOGANY COLOR, SIZE 8.5 WIDE.  THIS IS A VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND PAIR OF COLE HAAN LAOFERS AND THE CHEAPEST ONE ONLINE OR ON EBAY (IF YOU CAN FIND ONE) ONE IS SELLING FOR $100.00 - $120.00 PLUS $15.00 SHIPPING. HOWEVER........ALL THE ONES LISTED ON EBAY FOR LESS THAN $200.00 ARE NOT VINTAGE AND ARE ALL MADE IN CHINA.....NOT MADE IN USA LIKE THIS ONE, WHICH I HAVE HAD FOR OVER 30 YEARS.  ANY COLE HAAN THAT IS MADE IN USA CURRENTLY SELLS FOR OVER $200.00 PLUS POSTAGE.

WHEN I BOUGHT IT BACK THEN, MY SHOE SIZE WAS STILL 8.5 WIDE.  AS I HAVE AGED, MY FEET HAVE BECOME BIGGER AND WIDER, SO THEY ARE NOW A SIZE 9.0 WIDE.  THESE LOAFERS THEREFORE FIT ME A TAD BIT TIGHT, BUT WILL DEFINITELY FIT A SIZE 9R / 9D, AS WELL AS 8.5 WIDE.  IT MIGHT ALSO FIT A SIZE 8.5 R / 8.5 D BUT MIGHT BE JUST A LITTLE BIT LOOSE. THIS ISSUE WOULD EASILY BE FIXED THOUGH BY THE INSERTION OF SOME NICE INSOLES.

NOTE: BASED ON THE ABOVE INFO, THE BUYER OF THIS PAIR OF SHOES ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PURCHASE AND CANNOT RETURN THEM SHOULD THEY NOT FIT OR SHOULD THEY NOT FIT COMFORTABLY ENOUGH.  SELLER WILL NOT ACCEPT RETURNS.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE CONDITIONS, PLEASE DO NOT BID.

ISSUES - TWO (2) TINY SCRATCH MARKS WERE NOTED ON THE SIDE OF THE LEFT SHOE, ONE IS ON THE OUTSIDE RIGHT WHILE THE OTHER IS ON THE OUTSIDE LEFT OF THE SHOE, BUT ARE VERY SMALL AND NEGLIGIBLE. ALL ISSUES NOTED I HAVE INCLUDED A PHOTO OF SO PLEASE REVIEW ALL PHOTOS CAREFULLY.  (SEE LAST 3 PHOTOS)

FINALLY, IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO WAIT TILL THE AUCTION'S END NOR WISH TO ENGAGE IN A POSSIBLE BIDDING CONTEST FOR THESE SHOES, FEEL FREE TO MAKE ME YOUR BEST OFFER AND IF I LIKE IT, I WILL ACCEPT IT AND THE SHOES ARE YOURS.

INSURED POSTAGE WITHIN THE LOWER 48 STATES WILL BE $12.00 WHILE ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S. WILL PAY EXACT COST OF PRIORITY MAIL POSTAGE, TO BE CALCULATED AT THE END OF THE AUCTION.  SORRY BUT I WONT SHIP THIS DIRECTLY TO ANY FOREIGN ADDRESS AND WILL ONLY SHIP IT TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY VIA EBAY'S INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING SERVICE OR A SIMILAR SERVICE SELECTED BY THE BUYER.  PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION'S END VIA EBAY PAYMENTS OR PAYPAL.  BID WITH CONFIDENCE BASED ON MY PERFECT 22-YEAR EBAY FEEDBACK RATING.  THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING!
