Been searching for strappy gold heels too.  Sigh, I can only dream that this is $50-$75.

A -- 3/25/11: Um, it's strappy gold stiletto Choos.  All of those words are AWESOME.  Given that I have something like six pairs of gold heels, I will clearly strongly approve of these.  Esp since they are Choos, which are by far my favs (so comfy!)

Great deal, again, except don't really love the way these look.  Reminds me of the color of my diarrhea this past wkd that made me miss my snowboarding trip . . .

. . . and, as it turns out, I've posted these before (linked)!  I swear it looked familiar, but in my food poisoned/stomach virus state, I'm a little out of it and chocked it up to delusion.  Funny, I cmt'ed that it looked like my diarrhea now, you cmt'ed that it looked like diarrhea then.  Guess that's a no . . .

T, 3/13/11:  Someone bought it, of course.

A -- 3/17/11:  LOL!!  When I first read your description, I thought "haha I'm so glad our blog has its first reference to diarrhea!"  And now it turns out, I actually made the first diarrhea reference!!  This really says it all about us doesn't it?

I'm sure by the time I finish this post, someone will have bought these -- this is an AMAZING deal.  Honestly, I'd jump on this right now except I have a pair of Stuart Weitzmans that look almost EXACTLY like this.  I'm trying not to bring on repeats in my wardrobe.

T, 3/13/11:  Someone bought it, of course.

A -- 3/17/11: I have a pair that looks very similar, but in gold, and w/a 4" heel - my point being that I LOVE strappy Choos.  I remember encouraging this buy, but you again did not want repeats.  What if you have two events two nights in a row, w/the same ppl?!  Repeats in the wardrobe are necessary to avoid repeats in outfits!

Really want my first pair of choos -- nice, neutral color; bottoms are clean; and defect is easy to fix.  These ended when I was away, and I wasn't sure if I loved them enough, but now I wish I got them since they went for so little.  Given the amt I've been spending though, on snowboarding, I guess any little bit saved counts.

A -- 1/18/11: Okay is it just me, or do these look to be a diarrhea-y yellow?  I've never gotten shoes fixed before, so I am unsure about cost/timing/ease.  This would be a case of the brand being the only thing to recommend this, which I try to avoid.

Loved right away when I saw these (and they're sold by goodwill in SF, too!), but then noticed the big bald patch on the back of the heel (kind of like seeing a really hot guy who's losing his hair up top).  Whoever wore these must've f*ed up these shoes pretty badly, because the calf hair on my Stuart Weitzman flats have kept nicely, even under regular wear.  Since S&H is pretty pricey, and I don't really need another pair of heels, prob wouldn't go higher than $20ish, despite my yearning for my first pair of choos.  I'm sure this'll go for more than that, though.

A -- 12/17/10: Yah I'm not sure I'd get these at all, seeing as how the back is so messed up.  Unless they can be repaired, in which case yah, def go for it.  The color for some reason seems a lil off to me, duller than I'd want/expect leopard print...iono...

T, 12/22/10:  Ended at $67, with 16 bids.

Jimmy Choo Private Suede Sandals

Source: Net-a-Porter

$950.00
Heel height: 5" (w/a 0.5" platform)

Not to sound all RachelZoe, but I. DIE.  I so adore these shoes, first seen on the shoe floor of Saks.  The blk suede felt so amazing to the touch, I couldn't even bring myself to ask for my size to try on, bc I might have just started weeping.  They are part of JimmyChoo's 24/7 capsule collection, supposedly of a set of "must have" shoes for all women.  I wonder if/when they will go on sale, and even then, for how much.  I foresee myself *maybe* happening upon them a few yrs from now on Ebay, possibly for a couple hundred.  Maybe I will get lucky and find them sooner...

T, 12/18/10:  Goddamn, 5" is high . . . for some reason, I always wondered if shoes like this "cut the leg short" since the straps are so big.  Looks good though, you can't really go wrong with this.

Choo v. Choo!

Color: Blk (in case pic wasn't clear)

Choo 2:
Size: 35
Heel: 3.25"
Color: Blk (in case pic wasn't clear)

S&H: $12.10
Ends: November 4, 2010; 2:45PM PST (5:45PM EST) (2 mins after Choo 1!)

Per your fab suggestion, here's the Choo v. Choo post!  Both are blk, relatively the same heel height.  Honestly, I'll prob just aim for whatever's cheaper, but I like Choo 2 better b/c: (1) I think I wanted Choos a couple yrs back that looked like this, on sale for $200ish on their website; (2) I don't have any pumps with skinny heels; (3) it's slightly shorter (albeit skinny heel, which prob negates any ease in walking); (4) it's kind of diff with the cut out, thereby differentiating it from my ever faithful blk Nine West pumps which I've worn since HS (and they just keep giving!); and (5) I prefer non patent.  Max at $75?  Or is that too low?

A -- 10/28/10: Yay Choos!! I am gonna have to disagree w/you on almost every point I think!  I like Choo 1 better - I like higher heel, slightly rounded toe, chunkysquare heel that sets it apart, even the patent (which is weird, bc a couple yrs ago I hated all patent, but now I'm all over patent shoes, I have yellow, black, and nude patent now).  I just feel like Choo 1 looks better in all aspects than Choo 2!!  Btw is the seller highlyrated?  I'd say max $100 for Choo 1; $75 for Choo 2.

T, 10/28/10: LOL, wow, that's smrt for setting diff maxes for diff Choos.  Yeah, seller is super highly rated (with over 38,400 reviews), so I have a feeling a lot of ppl keep track of this seller's  stuff and will prob be bidding on this.  Makes me sad . . .

Back to Choo 1 v. Choo 2 -- Choo 1 looks too much like my Nine West pumps.  I know they're Nine West and not even comparable, but they've served me well for so long I have a little bit of loyalty to them to get something different so they won't be entirely replaced!

T, 11/4/10:  Choo 1 ended at $152.50, 16 bids.  Choo 2 ended at $76.01, 14 bids.  Bid $75.01 on Choo 2, and was immediately outbid.  Who knows what winner's max was.  I'm okay with this loss, since I really didn't want to spend more than $75 for a pair of used Choos.

A -- 11/6/10: Yes! Validation!! Choo1 = 2 x Choo2!!
