I know. Yes, I know. It’s been a while. This post isn’t an article though, it is an announcement of a new page on vcleat.com that allows you to search eBay listings that have been on my Watch List. The shoes on my Watch List are some of the best vintage shoes on eBay over … Continue reading Watch List Search
I have been reading a number of self-help business management articles recently. 2017 was a good year for vcleat.com but I want 2018 to be better. The articles were compelling and I highlighted many terms. I realized vcleat had problems that I didn’t know it had. For example, what was our corporate DNA? Our core … Continue reading Reselling Shoes on Ebay
A couple of months ago a guy sold most of his vintage shoe collection on eBay. What was unusual about the sale was that he auctioned off about 40 similarly sized shoes and ended each auction at almost the exact same time. Meaning that if you wanted a few different pairs, you had to make … Continue reading Mother of All Vintage Sales
Do you remember the Cold War? The world and politics seemed clearer back then. Sure, we could get nuked at any time and Vietnam turned out to be a poor idea but we all rallied around the Lake Placid Olympic hockey team and cheered on Mary Lou Retton. I grew up toward the end of … Continue reading Buying Vintage Shoes

New stats from December sales. There was a problem in the previous months stats where I was under reporting sales categorized by eBay as “StoreInventory”. So these numbers are higher but don’t necessarily mean a large jump in sales occurred during the month. Sorry, if you are upset. But I don’t think you are. Brand … Continue reading December 2015 eBay Dress Shoe Sales
Between my time spent on cheating diesel emission tests, I collect eBay stats. Lots of them. I don’t really do much with them yet but just wait. I promise. Someday I will reveal dress shoe stat gold. For now, here are some basic stats on sales by brand. Brand Total Sales Items Sold Total Bids … Continue reading November eBay Dress Shoe Sales
New month but the same names on the top 10 list. Sales were down from the previous month across the board. It must have been due to the Canadian election. Yes, probably Trudeau. And his hair. He has the most famous Canadian hair since Bieber. Let’s hope he turns out better! I love you though … Continue reading October eBay Dress Shoe Sales
I debate picking a winner in highest priced shoe. I generally go with the top auction price but there are “Best Offer Accepted” sales with higher prices but you can’t find out the offer price. The top auction was a pair of Cigar Alden PTBs that went for $1626. But the buyer must have sobered up … Continue reading September eBay Dress Shoe Sales
