So I eventually found a 5 times worn black pair of size 44.5s and won the auction at £70. Great. Very happy. And all the clips from my old pair will fit them, so I have a source of spares too.
Then the auction for another of the pairs in my watch list came towards its end at an odd time on a weekday, and nobody seemed to have noticed them. I bid at the last moment and got them for... £17 ! Again, they are very little used and in excellent condition.
Two almost good as new pairs of A-Stars for £110 including postage. I love ebay.
So everything was posted to my mate in Kent, who just arrived yesterday with the boots to visit his french holiday home. Best birthday present to myself in ages.
