I am astounded by that size 7 Whippet going for $500+. It looks like a nice hat and all, but I'd have to handle one before I'll believe it's $500 worth of nice.

I took a look at the bidding history and found that the buyer has 34,652 feedbacks!In the last 30 days they've bid on 1723 items for a total of 2494 times.
The runner up has 32,493 and has bid on 5242 items a total of 8453 times in the past 30 days.
Third place had "only" 2652 feedbacks and only bid on 284 items a total of 553 times.
I thought I spent a lot of time on ebay, but those guys must live there! And be of the "money is no object" income group.
Amazing, just amazing.
Regards,
Tom

Any seller feedbacks? I wonder if they just have a mad money self supporting ebay habit. It may be like those colored disks that have numbers on them like $5,$100 etc. that you see in casinos. If you don't touch it it's not real.Originally Posted by Tango Yankee

Maybe that ebay member is merely a stand-in for a film team looking for stuff to use in production? I read somewhere that members of the Seinfeld production team scouted the US high and low to look for vintage wardrobe for the Cosmo Kramer character. But then: two competing film teams? Ah, just musing...![]()
Pretend that you owe me nothing and all the world is green.
That's a good thought, Mario. My thought was that maybe it's a group of Japanese buyers who are going to sell vintage hats on the Japanese market. I don't know anything about the vintage hat market in Japan (this is where we need daizawaguy to chime in); the only reason I thought of that was because that's what happened to the vintage guitar market.Originally Posted by Mario

I guess that's just as plausible as my line of thought. Who - or whatever they are, it's defnitely a very strange thing. Like encountering a whale in the little pond by the village.
