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

[ScottF]

are all of you guys with the problems mac users?

I think we have a winner....I had the same issues described by others, and I use Mac with Safari. I wasn't interested enough to see if Firefox solved the problem.

 

[Michaelshane]

I wish all you guys had trouble with ebay....more cheap hats for me...! lol

I had no problem at the Bay yesterday but had serious problems here at the Lounge. Running IE7 on a PC...

If any of you Mac users are using Safari 4, remember it's a Beta.

I was having really weird problems on my Facebook page last night--couldn't click on anything, not even when I tried Firefox.

Then it just started working all of a sudden. Hmm.[huh]

MAC here. No problems. The only problem is Camino, which won't even let me see a link to WWII categories. "The local laws in your country prevent you from viewing this item" (Never use Camino: It sucks.)

What could you possibly be trying to view that they would have an issue with?

You don't have to answer that.... I'll just let my imagination run wild.

I just love it when you guys talk computer.

 

[J. M. Stovall]

Mac here too, and no problemo. Use Firefox though, it has lots of cool features and add ons!

Well, i'll answer anyway. You know the category, collectibles>militaria>WWII (1939-45)? Camino doesn't, in the UK (or on my Mac, at least).

And also,somewhat randomly, Camino seems to be looking for keywords in title and description. WWII, military, Nazi, Wehrmacht, SS etc. etc. etc. It is a very annoying quirk.

one of those flat-top derbies - the liner logo is fantastic

one of those flat-top derbies ...

Yup. Churchill wore one. So did Herbert Hoover in the 'teens: I actually found that derby of his at an estate sale in San Marino. One of those once-in-a-lifetime things ...

Uncle Jed's courting hat was a flat-top.

killer C&K milan in 7 1/4

I am stoked about this one. This is the second vintage straw that I have purchased from that seller. I don't usually see C&K hats too often and I never see milans with a 2 1/2" brim. :eusa_clap

 

[Lefty]

I am so, so jealous. Congrats! :eusa_clap

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Good score V-Man.

BTW, Ebay appears to have gotten back on track for this Mac user anyway. But I did like Michael's 'More hats for me' comment. Too funny! lol

 

[Viper Man]

Thanks guys! I scored a Dobbs milan from this seller a few weeks ago and other than a few grungy stains, the hat was in awesome condition. This one appears to be even better. It looks like my first order of business will be to remove the reed that's causing that staining at the back. :eusa_doh:

Is it just me or is it rare to find wider brim milans these days? I don't usually see them.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I wonder, did milan straw hats originate in Milan? I was in Milan three weeks ago, and didn't see even one.

there's some info on milans here
