Just roped this one not five minutes out of the stall!
I like the pin too, very much. Looks like a keeper from here.
Ribbon neither wide nor narrow, bound brim, nice , wide pristine sweat and the embroidered liner is the cherry on top. A non-OR western dress 3x. That 3x is fast becoming my favorite Stetson felt.
I think it will make a good fedora, too.
Does anyone know when Stetson's stopped using the embroidered liner ?
Can anyone tell me if that is a reeded or unreeded sweat?

So, I have a question. What the heck happened to prices? They seem awful high lately.

I think its a mix, I think alot of people base their prices based on the higher end prices that some sellers are looking to achieve. Others base it on what a new Stetson retails, or a perhaps even on the prices that a custom hatter will charge.
Some may think that if someone is willing to pay x amount for a custom, wouldnt they perhaps pay more for a harder to find hat that has all the qualities that a modern hatmaker can only dream of someday being able to replicate.
Regardless, despite the higher priced buy it nows there are still some absolutely amazing deals to found.

Patience is a key virtue in this world. And you have to be able to walk away from the ones that make no sense. Last night, three *******s went - one for less than $50, one for less than $60, pretty good deals (and I was outbid). The third went for $91.00. Go figure.

100% agreed
a hat is only worth what you are willing to pay for it and anything less than that would be a "deal" I guess

Not my size, sketchy condition and I do have a number of these. But it is an iconic 1920s hat and a "good deal" for the winner.

Got an email from the lady that lost my black buntal. It turned up, so hopefully it will be here sooner than later.

Dang. Had high bid on a 100 percent beaver hat for like 4 days, just got sniped at last moment. 
At least I made whoever stole it pay an extra 31 dollars.

I just have no luck with auctions. This time I installed a sniper, set it just like it said. Auction comes down to last seconds, and the sniper didn't bid. The item sold for less than the max bid I set. Someone got what looked to me like a nice old parabuntal described as a very fine Panama. I wonder if the buyer knows the difference. If he (or she) is a Lounger I bet they will.
grrrrr. I wanted that one.

Well, I have tried that in the past, but always get beat out by a sniper at the last few seconds. So, I tried being the one sniping and the bid never got submitted. I did everything just as instructed, saw the snipe activated, waited for it to do it's thing and never had a chance.

Maybe ebay changed something and made it useless.
Never needed a program to snipe a auction even it is was needed to wake in the middle of the night.

Perhaps I don't understand. It seems to me that if you put in the max you're willing to spend in eBay's interface, you can only be outbid, not sniped. I've lost auctions because my bid wasn't high enough, but never have I lost an auction because someone else somehow bid faster.
