No, given the original cost. It's still a large amount on one auction though. If you split the pair and sold them individually you may end up with at least that much and have an easier time seeing it done. A little more work for you dealing with two buyers but at least it would be done, or halfway. Half the cost and shipping is an easier pill to swallow.
I've had to let go of stuff for less than the going rate to free up real estate and get my financial affairs in order, so I can empathize. I think the end goal of having priorities in order is worth it though. Good luck!
