asking $100 for hose that they got for free? a bit steep for my taste.
Considering that Argyle hose, new, are going to cost you between $150 and $250 easily, assuming this pair is good quality and in good condition, $100 seems like a reasonable price. Does it really matter how much the current owner paid for them? The real question is what are they worth.
Remember, these measurements were taken with the hose unstretched. They could easily fit up to an 18" calf. And, dance hose tend to be higher on the leg, generally right under the knee, which is all to the good for bigger calves.
And, don't forget you can get the feet knitted longer if you had too. Since custom hose is so expensive (Kilkeel charges over $200) dancers have been known to have their soles reknitted longer when they grow out of the feet.
$100 for custom made hose is an AWESOME price no matter how they got them. Best of all, the money is going towards a highland dance studio and will ultimately benefit promoting Scottish culture.
