On this ebay listing, a wife buys shoes for her husband. For whatever reason, the husband doesn't like the shoes after spending a very short time in them and must sell them at a 50% loss, at least.
The lesson: Although women love shoes, make sure to agree with your wife or girlfriend before she shops shoes for you!

From the seller:

"I am selling a new pair of 10 1/2 Cole Haan loafers. I have worn them once last Friday for about 6 hours. My wife bought them Thursday for $139 from Neiman Marcus. I wear a size 11 but these are 10 1/2. They are in perfect condition and have no noticeable defects. Aside from the minor scuffs on the leather sole, these shoes are in mint condition."
