That's very kind of you. I'd love to see it but live 1500 miles away -

 

[carter]

Why not post pictures in this thread? [huh]

 

[scotrace]

Indeed. And what's a "Cuenta?"

 

[Shel]

Cuenta

It means 1500 weaves per square inch.

Yeah, what's with the intrigue?...and how bout' a price!

 

[Michaelshane]

I'll have my people call your people.

 

[carter]

Not to put too fine a point on it

It means 1500 weaves per square inch.

This is translated as "This hat has 1500 weaves per inch.":

Este sombrero tiene 1500 se teje por pulgada.

Cuenta normally is translated as "Account or bill".

1500 Cuenta would be translated as "1500 counts".

The seller may have been close but no cigar. :cool2:

I'd still like to see pictures.

Why not call the seller and find out? Use Skype to save money on the call.

Cuenta

Cuenta means bill as in the reckoning/counting total of money but it also means "count" as in what count aka number of weaves aka the weave count aka "It means 1500 weaves per square inch".

 

[jonbuilder]

$2000 what I hear

 

[Marc Chevalier]

A fair price for that level of quality.

[SPRFINO]

Pictures do not do justice (see avatar) but will be sent to interested parties after speaking by phone. If you have to ask the price, then you probably can't afford it.

 

[Tomasso]

If you have to ask the price, then you probably can't afford it.

So, you'll be wanting a blank check?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I like you, SPRFINO ... you know what you've got and won't let it be 'nickel and dimed' away from you.
Good man. :eusa_clap


I understand your desire to not waste time answering queries from non-serious or non-qualifying potential buyers. That said, it would be easier to filter them out if you named your price right here.

We're in a buyer's market like I've never seen; best for a seller not to insult a potential customer. Even one who asks too many questions. Like, "Can I see it?" and "What's the price?"

:arated: Agreed. *
The egregious insult in the statement "If you have to ask the price, then you probably can't afford it.", smacks of elitist snobbery, IMHO.

*(I deleted my preceding post. It's not worth the effort.)

 

[SPRFINO]

This hat has not seen the light of day for six years and I am more than willing to put it away for another six or twelve or twenty years. I will, however, entertain discussion from potential buyers. There is no elitist snobbery, nor insult in my statement; if you have to ask the price then you are not the right buyer. The right buyer will appreciate the rarity of this opportunity.

How much do you want for it?
