    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    A lot of money for a hat pin but oh well.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Looking at it again, that size tag does look a bit newer (squared corners). Maybe even into this century?

    eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor

    "Based on the posts here, I do not believe that this is ebay's most paranoid vendor." This is indeed a statement of opinion since you put those wonderful little words "I do not believe" in the statement but you did not provide any evidence of your own to support your opinion. "I think Joe...

    eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor

    Actually it is you who seems to lack the knowledge on the subject. Stating the basis for the opinion makes it a "statement of fact." It does NOT make the statement true. The whole basis of defamation determination is whether or not a "statement of fact" is indeed true.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Maybe even 1990s. Is the sweatband leather or synthetic?

    eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor

    Opinions don't have proof. If you provide "evidence" to support your "opinion" then you are stating a fact and not an opinion. I know it sounds like splitting hairs but that's the way it is.

    eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor

    Typing in all uppercase letters is considered very impolite and/or agressive. It is the equivalent of shouting in the other person's face.

    eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor

    Your act of posting the seller's private message to you pretty much voids the "opinion" defense. It wouldn't go anywhere anyway.

    Akubra Leisure Time vs Stetson Weekender

    Where did you find a wool/fur Weekender? The only ones I've seen are all fur.

    eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor

    Nothing a lawyer would get upset about. There aren't any laws that say a person can't be a jerk if he wants to. Calling someone "eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor" on a public forum could definately come under libel or slander laws though. No question the seller could use some public relations...

    Hat Boxes

    I've never been one who found replacing one bad smell with another bad smell a really good solution. Now you have TWO bad smells to get rid of! As far as boxes go, I seem to run into a good supply of those 8-sided Dobbs boxes in very good shape - they seem to be pretty tough. Around here...

    eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor

    The seller described a hat as size XL and shipped a hat marked XL. Since the seller was not the one who attached that size tag it was not the seller's mistake. The seller accepted the hat back and refunded the money. The seller in this case has done nothing wrong but has had his/her...

    Should I unsnap my snap brim while drying?

    Do you use anything to allow air flow to the inside of the hat?

    eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor

    Yeah, that keeps coming up but is not at all applicable in this case. The product was shipped, received and was what the seller described in the listing. A Scala marked XL. So far, this thread has served to provide the seller with evidence that he/she did indeed ship the product that was...

    Should I unsnap my snap brim while drying?

    I pop mine brim up and place them crown up on a gridded plastic drying rack with a stretcher in place. My stetchers are the old wooden ones and heavy enough that if I put the hats upside down it affects the crease. For western hats and others that cannot be popped brim up I place the...

    eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor

    I haven't run into it with Power Sellers but I have with several store owners. I see no indication that the seller in this case is a Power Seller. I'm suspicious anyway of sellers with more than 5,000 feedbacks and less than 99% positive.

    eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor

    I've just never thought of eBay as a place to establish a relationship. Buyer pays, seller ships, end of relationship. Sellers with eBay stores or with hundreds of items listed at a time are often quite terse in their communications. That is surely not the best case for buyers but is easily...
