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

[Lefty]

you?

 

[carouselvic]

No, I was not a bidder, just an observer.

 

[Dreispitz]

I'd venture that the reason for that is the bid reached the highest point anyone was willing to pay for that hat an hour before bidding ended.

Cheers,

Yes, and I went to bed at some stage.

You guys are hilarious!



I won this little puppy the other day.
Based on the seller's photos and the price I paid for it, I really didn't expect much.

It turned out to be a little nicer than I thought,....as a matter of fact it's the first hat I won that doesn't need a trip to Optimo, and probably won't for some time.

These little stingy brims are slowly but surely beginning to appeal to me,..........shakeshead I gotta stop watching Mad Men.

Very nice, HP. With a trim silhouette the stingys can really finish off an ensemble. It's a nice, crisp look.

Wow, HP. What a gem! Good find there.

I'm still grumpy because the last 3 or 4 7 3/4 hats I bid on were snatched away from me. Curse my huge head! It's so hard to find my size and when I do they always go for more than I can pay. I think I'm going to start looking for 7 5/8 and then just have them stretched up a size.

I only wish I had a trim silhouette!!

Oh!! You mean the hat!!

I buy hats in need of work and send them off to be re-sized,....that way it gives me a broader spectrum of sizes to choose from. In the end I have a nice clean hat made from vintage felt that fits like a glove, all for about the same price as one of the newer "not-so-nice" felts from a dealer.

Dive in, you say? That fits perfectly with your avatar! lol

 

[Roninjedi]

Yeah, I think you might be right. It's a much more popular size. What I really really want isn't likely to float along in the Bay anyway.

If I can sell one or two more of my costume items on Etsy, I'll have enough to buy another Fed IV before the exchange rates get too high.

If you find any in pearl gray down there, i'll take one.
