As I always say on the rare occasions somebody queries my price on eBay, if you don't want to pay it, move on. I sell something that needs testing before I list it, most sellers don't do that. I value my time and effort as well as the item I am selling. I wouldn't pay that much for any shoes, especially ones that come from a slightly better store than Freeman Hardy Willis (they were part of the same group, if I remember correctly from my time working for FHW in the 80s) but there is always somebody out there who might! Perhaps she's priced them so high because, by her own admission, she wishes they fitted her properly and doesn't really want to get rid of them!
