I'm sure the MB experts are going to want more detailed pictures. :)

ashakes..that seller is just ugh...wrong in so many ways. "Box has been opened twice so that's why I have to list it at a lower price"? WTF? How many times has NM probably opened up a box of shoes & were tried on before it's sold? You don't see them with a sales rack for shoes that have been tried on twice. If they did, then I'd be in there so often trying shoes on and then saying "oh! third time! I get them now for 70% off!" *rolls eyes*

I feel sorry for the one person who bought the fakes for $300.

It's not just one person...she makes her listings private..she has scammed NUMEROUS people, but she isn't dumb. She makes them private so people like us can't contact the winner and let them know or else I would.

She listed again today and I reported her, but I'm sure Ebay will do nothing to her.

How about these, girls? I thought they looked good, but when I asked the seller about sizing, she said she wears an 8 and they fit her perfectly and she was selling them to help pay for something. But read the auction?!

Ask the seller to send you her own, EXACT photos of the shoes you'll be getting. I recognize one or two of her photos as from past auctions by other sellers. There's obviously conflicting info from the photos -- one photo shows the nude patent w/ light GOLD PEEP-TOE, while the other photo shows a PATENT PEEP-TOE. There are several versions of this shoe, so I'd ask for the specifics and also for her own set of photos.

Oooh, good catch, Foxy!

Just adding, for that BIT price, why don't you just get it from a retailer and rest easy about authenticity? It's not a savings at all, save for a few dollars on tax. I bought both pairs of the nudes a long while ago, so I don't really know the stock on these shoes, but I know two tPF-ers who picked up nude gold-tipped VPs very recently, so I'm guessing that they aren't too hard to get a hold of.

Foxy, did you run into probs getting your nude VPs?

Do you know your size in VP's?

I know that Saks ran a pre-order on these thru their website, which is where I remember one the ladies telling me she got hers.

Like I said, though, I really am out of the loop on the availability of these shoes in the last year or so. Personally, I would call an SA at Louboutin. Even if he/she doesn't have it in stock, he/she might be ablet o get a hold of one, or in the least, put you on their waitlist.

^^^Nobody is stocking it currently. I called practically every store/boutique in the nation and they are sold out or did not order it. Saks may get them in at the end of the month, but I'm not sure as I called one on the East Coast and he took my name and number down and I called one on the West Coast and he had no clue if they were supposed to get it (he still took my name and number down as well). Keep checking online at Saks because somebody may cancel their pre-order or return a pair after they get them. :yes:

Just like NM, Saks' online and in-store stock different things.

I'm pretty sure the nude patent VP's are all sold-out by now. The "second-round" shipments this year are gone and Saks.com pre-orders sold-out quickly (AFAIK Saks stores aren't getting any, only online). I got my nude patent VP's (with red peep-toe) last summer, they day the arrived at the CL Horatio St. boutique; had I made up my mind a day or two later I'd have kissed those shoes good-bye as they sold-out within 2 days. I think NM last summer had the nude patent with gold peep-toe (also sold-out before I got a chance to call) and Barneys had nude patent with nude peep-toe (all nude).

Hi ladies. I've gone through the posts discussing sizes, but justed wanted to confirm the sizes of Christian Louboutins. If I'm usually 6.5, should I order a size up? Appreciate any thoughts. TIA!:smile1:
