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

[jimmy the lid]

I love ORs, and I love having a Size 7 head! It keeps the $$$ man down.

I think I just fainted. Congrats, Mr. P! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Cheers,

Ain't it amazing the difference 1/4 makes? Congrats, Mr. P, but have you thought about throwing in a few extra dollars just to keep the guilt down?

Great look!

This is a Mallory Aristocrat Quality I got with a buy-it-now. Waiting in line for a stretch. I'm waiting for another stretcher to arrive shortly...

Another nice one, RF. So you're two for two this week? Love the color combo.

 

[BobC]

Here's the other Whippet (first of the two from last week). Again, opened the crown and giving it a stretch. The color I believe is caribou? Nice, much more subdued.

Sweet, man, that is SWEET! Mine's in the mail coming from MO. I hope it's that nice.

Son-of-a-gun! The dude does look great in a homburg. :eusa_clap

That led to "just a quick bid" and that led to.....this!

THAT'S the way it's done, Mr. P.!

I love a deal as much as I love the hats themselves. :eusa_clap

That did look nice. Ebay is overflowing with nice size 7's currently(and some BIN bargains too).

Actually, I have NO guilt; only hat greed!

I was a bit dumbstruck myself, but I got over it quickly and paid up before the seller changed his mind!

Thanks Gene, I do love a bargain myself, like those two homburgs I got from you. I absolutely love that Mossant. It is my keyboard hat whenever I'm on the Lounge. Going to try to get them both posted on New Hats this weekend. Thaks again!

RLK, you are right; there is a plethora of size 7s out there right now. I am watching several other really nice ones but I'm fighting the bid urge......so far.

You have really picked up some nice ones lately. This Mallory is just the latest but it is sweet! Great colors on that ribbon, binding, and felt.

Thats funny, I have one exactly like that...........

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Cute-cute-cute Dobbs! I was the only bidder. Maybe it's just more suitable to the female gender? Anyway, I intend to enjoy it!

Sue

Very nice maam. I just can't get into that back-bow thing on my head.

 

[Mr. Paladin]

I like to imagine the old proud owner smiling down, seeing that his old hat is still alive and well, giving it’s new owner a renown sense of pride and still receiving compliments.

The Royal Stetson I bought on the ’bay last week arrived today and although well-worn and in need of a trip to Chicago,…..it let me know just who the old proud owner was that might be smiling down,…for on the under-side of the sweat-band was the handwritten name; “Lt. Col. C. B. Hines”.

It didn’t take more than a few seconds on Google to find the Colonel:

That is a great find, High Pockets. If it could talk,it might have some real stories to tell. Congrats.:eusa_clap

 

[jimmy the lid]

What have I done?

This is, without a doubt, my quirkiest hat acquisition ever. I can't really explain it -- it was late last night, and it seemed like a good idea at the time...

So, here you have it -- a green ADAM DeLuxe Quality "Genuine Vicorona"...

I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or just start with martinis for breakfast. For all I know, in the ADAM lexicon, "Vicorona" may just be another term for "Tribble."

Then again, in its own way, this one could also turn out to be very cool...

OK. That's it. Be gentle...

Cheers,
JtL

Uuuummmm....JTL.....you didn't mortgage the house on that did ya?

Jiiimmmmmmmmyyyyyyy!!!!!!!:rage: lol

I knew I should have bought it the moment I saw it. I thought that it would surely last an hour or two. Well if you do not like it please let me know. Please. I think that hat is great. I have no clue what I would wear with it but who cares?


So....let me know if it doesn't fit your style though with you being you I am sure it will.......

Regards to all,
Hollis

You've been pulling too many keepers out of the Bay, Chief. Every now & then you're bound to reel in a used tire or old boot, just the law of averages. You were way over due! That could be a hoot...
