Would you do what the Poshmark lady claims in the commercial?

Everyday a lady is on a Postmark commercial holding up purple heels. She says, ” I would have paid over $700 for these shoes!” Which means she got them cheaper on Poshmark.
Anyone on here who would consider paying over $700 for any kind of shoe whatsoever? I think it’s an abomination! Just a word I pulled out of my hat.

Not even the ruby slippers?
THE ruby slippers, maybe.
Yeah, they’d need to have magic powers (or profitable resale value).
So there can be shoes worth $700. For me they would be too valuable to wear on my feet, but I know people who have shoes made that might well cost $700 a pair or beyond. And if that’s what’s required to get a comfortable pair of shoes, I would spring for it.
I do have a pair of $80–90 shoes which I have worn for quite a few years, that if they had been somehow durable enough to not degrade, might be thought to be worth a fair amount… I don’t know about $700. Maybe if I were fabulously wealthy.
If I find such shoes available again, I’ll probably buy 4 pair or more.
My husband spends ungodly amounts for tennis shoes, IMO. He goes to specialty sporting stores for them. $60 to $90 each pop. I told him that if he didn’t wear his damn shoes 16 / 7 they wouldn’t wear out so fast.
I get mine at Walmart. I get a new pair about once every 4 years. I don’t wear shoes if I can help it.
Unless a persons feet need special care then one would order a pair customized as in Italy they do this starting at $300 Canadian dollars, Otherwise I would not spend that much just to show off and become a target for robbery. They are just making themselves a target.
They are also making fools of themselves as the Fashion Industry dictates whats fashionable..I guess its spending large amounts of money on their products?
For that kind of money I need to be able to drive it, recline it, or hang a mailbox on it.
I have to appreciate people who do that though.
I bought a pair of joggers about a decade ago at a thrift store. I paid $3 for them, and they had no visible wear at all. They surely cost the original owner $100.
Personally, I’ve spent the past few decades being the accidental customer of Payless Shoes – a vegan who loves all those vinyl shoes. Now that my favorite store is rapidly closing, I have no idea where I’ll buy shoes made from manmade materials. Except for Payless, it’s all very hit-or-miss, and usually through online stores. Yes, I’m familiar with MooShoes, Avesu, and other sources; they’re not very good.
$700? I don’t think so. How about $20 for attractive, well-made nonleather?
A quality shoe usually costs more or a unique design. After a certain dollar amount though you are just paying for the name. I used to like designer shoes a lot but now not so much.
I think even if I was filthy rich I still wouldn’t pay $1500 for some Gucci slides or something… I feel like that would make me a bad person lol.
