More of an observation here from years of buying online and combing through thrift stores, but do people even bother to look up similar items to what they sell? I know people have discussed the crazy prices on some websites, but I find antique and thrift shops are now getting pricey with hats. I feel that some seller figures they have a fedora in size 7 1/2 and immediately wants to charge 100 bucks, they don't even bother to research brand and style. Perfect example was yesterday, I went to an antique shop and was delighted to see hats on the rack, I walk over and the seller was asking 75 dollars for a Adam fedora with a 1.5 inch brim, while I have bought from the same seller a Stetson that is much sought after for 50 bucks. Do these people just throw out a price and hope it sticks? Would love to read other thoughts
