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

[Redfokker]

Just bought this one. The brim is short, but Ignacio tells me we will gain about one cm. when he blocks it to my size. Anyone interested in the box?

Must be pretty incredible felt, is it all that it should be?

No, no, no. If I have to try to complete with you for 7 5/8 hats I’m quitting now. Maybe I can get into leather jackets; where’s Bowen?

For a moment I thought the Maximator was a killer jacket. Hahaha

Say what you will, Max; I’m more than a little worried. Do you think anyone here believes you’re going to slow down?

I recently saw one of the Stetson 100 luggage boxes without any of its “guts” sell for almost $100. It’s certainly worth something.

Wow. I didn't know that. I really have no use for the boxes. I will tell Juan Carlos. Maybe he will get some money for the ones I have stored in his garage.

Glad you got that on, Dd. I was keeping up with that one as well but I was afraid they knew Bob and it was painted. Still on my wish list.

Local Craigslist.....two decent old Stetson hat boxes, $5 each. Nice!

Bob, I'd need the stuff that comes with a paint roller for my head.

Has anyone else had to deal with the hat police that mill about ebay? A few weeks ago there was colonelwth policing my hat age descriptions. I listened calmly and thanked him. Then, of course, he told me to go to a website that had better hat information than the fedoralounge. Of course...it was his.

Today it was someone named @@@@@@ who was upset that I was describing my Playboy hat as 'near mint' and not mentioning that the brim might have been trimmed since it doesn't have stitching. I'm scratching my head, as the hat is described at 'beautiful', which it is, not 'near mint', and I don't know this guy from Adam. He might be right that all Playboys had brim stitching - if so, I wasn't aware of it - but why the need to do a brain dump on a stranger over a hat that he has no intention of bidding on? For every ten auctions I run I get visited by a hat policeman. And no offense to you guys, but it always seems to be hats. The other things I sell are much more esoteric and have a much higher likelihood of having a description that could be questioned....but the hats....it's always hats. Are we really that anal and nosey?

Okay, I feel better. The brim of my hat is 2 5/8" and does not appear to have had anything done to it post-factory. I saw where Lefty once had a Playboy with no brim stitching. Is there really someone out there removing the stitching from Playboy brims? Because Lefty's had one and I've had at least two that had no stitching.

There are Playboys without brim stitching. I've seen them posted here by a couple people @moontheloon ??? I forget the dates this was supposed to be, though.. kind of in the middle of the production years.

Thank you. I have bad eyes, so I took a magnifier to the brim of this one, hoping to find some vestige of stitch holes, but nothing - just a nice clean raw brim. I liked the hat so much upon further inspection, I almost ended the auction, but alas, my noggin is still too small.
