Vintage Royal Stetson 7 1/4 on ebay

[Strider]

Evening folks, I'm selling my vintage Royal Stetson with a bound brim on ebay. It came with an "open road" style ribbon, but I've since replaced it with a thicker grosgrain ribbon obtained from Steve Delk. I personally HAND SHAPED the hat into the style you see in the photos, and it's a wonderful hat.

Thanks.

I knew that had to belong to a Lounger!

what a nice treatment... love the block & that ribbon looks supereb!:eusa_clap ... do you suppose it could be stretched to fit a 7 3/8 size melon? Is the sweat marked as an Open Road? Wow... if I had that you would have to pry it from my grip!

With a starting bid of $1.00 and giving the loungers advance notice? Oh man, I am going to have to watch the final second of this auction and see what it brings!

Good luck, as I think you will be rewarded!

Thanks! I always knew it would look better with the c-crown bash and relaxed pinch. When I first got it, it was open crowned, with the brim turned up. Looked kinda like a cowboy hat. You might get it to fit a size 7 3/8, as it is my size, 7 1/4, but is a little big on me. Thanks for the kind words, it's a wonderful hat. The sweat is not marked as open road (I've since included a photo of the inside of the hat...note how great of shape its in), I was just using that hat model as a reference for the thin ribbon it came with, as opposed to the dark brown grosgrain it has now.

Thank you! It's funny, there are like, 24 watchers and ZERO bids. Blows my mind that not one of those 24 is willing to take a plunge at a dollar!

Bet your bottom dollar that at least a few of those watchers will bid within the last minute of the auction. Sniping isn't the exception; it's the norm.

Well I started you off at $1.00 and of course will be watching to see where it goes.
Hopefully not out of my price range as that is one beautiful hat.

Thank you, sir!

Disappeared?

 

[Strider]

Ok, here's what happened.

Someone I knew was over at my house, and saw some comic books of mine he expressed interest in buying, since he knew I was selling them. I told him I'd already listed them on eBay, and that there were bids, and he said that was fine, and that he'd just pop onto my computer real fast and place a bid. We figured why not get some positive feedback out of the whole thing, while we're at it? I mean, it seemed fine. He was bidding, and intended to pay me if he won, so I didn't see the harm.

The next day, eBay sent us BOTH an e-mail saying that transactions like that are prohibited, and that all our auctions we had up were cancelled, and any bids we had on other stuff from other buyers was cancelled, too. So that's where the hat went.

Truth to tell, I was looking to get 75-80 bucks for it. If anyone's interested in it for that price, PM me. For a faster response, you can reach me at darkseidofthemoon@gmail.com . Thanks.

I bet they saw the bid coming from the same ISP as the seller. That's a bit extreme canceling ALL your auctions. Ebay can be Nazi like sometimes. I had posted in my description that I only accept Paypals from funds coming from a bank or debit card and not from credit cards (because I get charged a fee). They canceled my auctions stating I can't state that in an auction. So now I just say if you want to pay via Paypal, contact me first. Ebay's lost alot of potential business I could have brought them as a result as I'm more selective on what I sell there or if I sell anything at all.

 

[Strider]

Yeah. They said that when someone is buying something like that that they have more information on it than the general community, because they can examine it in person before they bid. I still don't see how that equates to shill bidding. :rage:

 

[Strider]

Just saying, this auction will be up again relatively soon.

 

[Strider]

This hat is still for sale!
