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

[BlackMaskPulp]

Auction's not over yet!

Yeah, but it's a stigy brim. Not many interested in stingies. And I hate it when people post live auctions.

Stetson One Hundred listed as a 7 1/2. I bid on it and it's actually a 7 1/8. I may have another hat to sell in the classifieds soon. Haha. A lesson for me to look at the pics more carefully and not trust the sellers listing before I place a bid.

I don't think you need to worry about that bid holding up.

 

[Rick Blaine]

Withdraw yr. bid. Eminently justifiable.

That is one interesting hat, even if it is black. Looks nice Justin. Would that be a forerunner to the Strats and ORs?

I'm not too sure, but it's possible.

Very nice No.1 Justin. Bet it has a low LOTXXXX number.

Thank you, Alan! We shall find out!

Looks really nice. What is the size?

Thank you, Joao! I think it may be a 7, but the seller was not too sure.

An intriguing Nutria Quality.

 

[splintercellsz]

Tried winning it, but lost out to a more worthy fellow!

 

[alanfgag]

A lot of mixed metaphors in this one, further confused by wacky measurements. I'm looking forward to hearing more about it.

 

[splintercellsz]

As am I

An intriguing Nutria Quality.

Way to high...

I just won this Stetson Stetsonian Derby with a VERY rare sweatband stamp and a liner I have never seen before. I was very shocked to see that I was the only bidder........

[splintercellsz]

Very nice, Josh!!

 

[John Galt]

I saw that one. It's a real beauty and I was tempted, but am focusing on tools. Here's a giant block I just won, so I can now re-block hats for the cranially endowed.

 

[splintercellsz]

Sweet block, John!

 

[alanfgag]

Great find, Josh... trademark files 1923 shows first use of the Stetsonian in 1917. Look forward to your photos.

 

[alanfgag]

Scooped again. Damn.

 

[Garrett]

I know you had your heart set on it, Alan. My condolences

 

[Brad Bowers]

Wow, look how many newbie bidders there were, and the winner has zero wins prior to this. Hope it works out.

 

[splintercellsz]

You would have been the next Grammy attendee at that! I side with Garrett in sending the condolences

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks guys. With your support I'm feeling better already. That, and while I'm writing this, Pharrell is wearing another one while performing at the Academy Awards. So there's still hope!
