Too good to be true? Optimo on EBAY

[Vermifuge]

Did any one catch this one? A 7 1/2 black Optmo on EBAY for just $45 plus another 10 or so for shipping? I'm not sure what I did... The details were sparse and the pictures were typical of ebay. In the end something told me to just get it. For $55 it might turn out to be a decent hat.

"This is a thick well made hat. Graham Thompson (optimo hat, Chicago,IL) made this for me. size 7.5 , a little to big for me, so it was stored for most of its life. comes with a box."

What do you folks think? Too good to be true? A decent fetch for $55 even if its been faked? I'll admit I reacted before thinking it through, but with a buy it now of only $45 I had to act and fast!

^I'd say you did better than okay. There's no way it could be faked. They have a legit box and liner. And would it be worth it for $55. Congratulations!

Looks and sounds like a great hat at a great price! Congratulations.

Another hat or vintage forum?

I really hope this is a legit auction. This is my third Optimo off the site and the previous two went for a lot more!

OK, did i miss another rule? Is it against the rules to say OFAS?

 

[Bud-n-Texas]

No rule that I have heard of. It was asked to just say ebay for clarity. With so many new members that do not know the terms, ebay is more straight forward. Just my 2 cents

Each time someone uses the wrong term, we get a new thread. "What's 'OFAS'?" It is clearer, simpler, and no more keystrokes to type E-B-A-Y. While not a rule, we've asked, for the sake of saving bartender's time, that everyone simply use the proper term.
