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

    Sheeseh. And it isn't even in tip-top shape. I agree with you Josh That was a crazy price.

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

    Well... it IS why they call it a craze, after all. There isn't usually too much logic in a craze. Remember when everyone had to have a Cabbage Patch Kid doll and were paying three times what they retailed for to get one? Yet all they had to do is wait a month or two and they'd get it at retail...

    That is so cool. I'll have to use the "r" word, too. I think that is a rare item!

    Yeah? So? It is a hat for one of them sports mascots with the giant heads. Ya know?

    An all gray size 7 Whippet does a little better than average at $175 smackeroos. But it is a pretty color. I have one just like it.

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

    I've said both (without adding the "is it over 2 inches") and often got a non-informative reply. Even the word "width" has often confused these sellers, sadly. Once I started adding the "is it over 2 inches" I've had fewer confused replies.

    No, no. "Air Light" is what I was referring to. Was just not spelling it properly.

    Even when I said, "what is the width of the brim" in the past I'd get every measurement but the brim. By adding "is it over 2 inches" that solves the problem (as I said in my post above).

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

    I have finally figured out how to word the question to get clueless sellers to tell me what a brim measures in at. I used to say, "what does the brim measure?" This would bring me any manner of replies. One guy said 14 inches. Naturally the idiot was measuring from one end of the hat to the...

    $27.76 doesn't seem too bad, eh?

    I do believe a Lounger did get that.

    This is exactly why I've slowed buying quite a bit. I've about decided to stop getting anything that isn't a Stetson and the Stetson's I'm looking at are one that I have no other example of. I am watching a bunch of hats but most only to see where the prices go.

    Interesting size 7 Dobb's "Gadabout" thin felt. Almost $50. I thought about this one but passed.

    Hey, on that Stetson tuxedo hat, are you willing to sell that 3-way box?

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

    I threw in a bid of $290 at the 7 sec. mark imagining that no one would go higher (and wondering how I'd explain it to my wife) and MAN was I surprised to see it get to almost $340!

    WOW, a 1920s or 30s Stetson Airlite goes for well over $300!! It was misadvertised as a "Bencheley 3 way hat" because it was with one of those 3-way hat boxes (not in good shape). But this hat is very, very interesting. It has a cloth sweatband, not leather, and the whole underside of the felt...

    I have to say, I was a bit surprised it went that high at such an early morning ending time.

    New hat stretcher (& advice)

    The thing I caution about stretching (if an older hat) the leather sweat should be dosed with some sort of preservative first. Neatsfoot, lexol, mink oil... whatever is your favorite (always being sure not to get it on the threads holding the sweat to the hat). I always think it is a good idea...

    A very nice 50s era Stratoliner goes for pretty nice money for a size 7! $109 nice.
