It says $30.00. I think he corrected it.

I hope someone did, I totally missed it. Would love to see some proper detail pics.

I was going to bid, but I spaced out and forgot when it ended. Looks soft and pettable...

I love it when the little guys run with the big boys.

Always the pinheads.
Oh, man! Never really used Ebay, just learned lesson number one. If you want something, BUY IT! Heh! Was looking at a cool little brown Dobbs stingy with an upturned brim for $27, and was thinking about it for a bit, but when I got home from work, it had been sold! Any chance one of you dirty rats picked it up?

I've lost out on more than a few nice hats because of my wembling nature. One thing to be sure of though, is that eBay will always have tons of stingy brown (and other colors) Dobbses and other brands for relatively cheap.Oh, man!

What size is that, Eel?
7 1/2 - 7 5/8. I see plenty of 7, 7 1/4, 7 3/8, etc.... but anything 7 1/2 or larger is rather rare. So the odds of finding one i LIKE in that size are long, indeed.
Which reminds me of a question I had. Do folks on this board ever sell any of their stuff? Privately to other board members? On EBay? Or, once it's in the collection, it stays there, whether you like it or not? Just curious.

Thus, my inquiry. I'm a 7-3/4 XLO. Although not what it used to be, (mostly leather jackets/coats now) the FL classifieds, if closely watched, can turn up some VERY nice options...
Best of luck. I have been feeling your pain for decades...

Not that I've found any, but I always keep my eyes out for larger sizes in thrift stores, Goodwill, etc. I would buy one of these monster sized hats in a heartbeat just to make it available for my fellow loungers of large, watermelon sizes. I've got your back friends. Someday...

If it helps, the winner won it for a dollar more than your max bid, but you probably didn't lose it by a dollar. The winning bidder could have entered a bid much more than your max.

Exactly right. You'd only know how much you would have lost it by if you'd won. Sometimes that hurts more.
