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

[gtdean48]

older 7 1/2 Borso

they're giving the 7 1/2s away lately - Dobbs

Those links are identical, Lefty. That Borso has some funky after market stitching on the sweatband... [huh]

There wasn't much interest in this one:

The seller swears there's no moth damage or any other issues. We'll see when it gets here.

I REEAALLY wanted my first grey fedora, but it kept getting bid higher and higher. The closer I looked at it, I think it needed a bit more work than I could afford at that price, but somebody got a nice Dobbs 20...that has more than doubled in value!QUOTE]

Yeah. I think that was one of the ones I lost, as well. C'est la guerre!

Where is everyone with the big noggins?

First the 7 1/2s are going cheap and then a MINT 7 5/8 Stratoliner goes for $170!!

I figured that would go close to $300. Someone must be grinning ear to ear right now. I know the title didn't have Stratoliner in it but come on....

I want one, but in my size.

And a nice little derby.

Both links go to the Borso.

That Borso has a shot and badly repaired sweatband.
But even with a new sweat it's a fair price.

Too tiny for most, which works to your advantage. Congrats!

11 bids from 7 individuals. [huh]

20's Stetson No 1 Quality

Seller didn't meet his goal and sent me an offer - needless to say I took him up on it.

That seller didn't do himself any favors with that listing. It missed both my Stetson 7 5/8 search & my Stetson Stratoliner search. Even my Vintage Stetson search missed it. Sort of glad since I would've been all in on that baby!

I paid USD280 for mine the other day but then it was the smoky blue grey one that is the most popular colour.

Hey Lefty, since both links are the same, did you mean this one for the Dobbs?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360195091005&_trkparms=tab=Watching#ht_1976wt_926

Not sure what it will be like what with few photos, but the box looks pristine - I'm guessing back bow (unless the picture was mirror-imaged) and 2-1/2" brim. I'll let y'all know.

Well done. That's a beauty.

That's the one. Sorry about the link issue.

 

[Tango Yankee]

Stetson Royal De Luxe with brim stitching

I sure thought this one would go much higher despite it needing a bit of cleaning as it's a 7 3/8. [huh]

Cheers,
Tom

 

[carouselvic]

I agree.

:arated: Wonderful hat!

Garrett, I LOVE that hat. Wish I could've tip-toed off with it for about $30 but my days of pulling that stuff seem to have passed. :eusa_clap

 

[NY_Confidential]

buying hats is addicitive.

i just grabbed this up off of ebay too.

guess what' im looking for now? HAT STANDS.

hmmm.. maybe for now ill buy some cheap styrofoam heads.. im not sure what kind of hat stands i want yet.

I bought 3 off ebay, and I bought 2 from Jimmyphi.. and I plan on more.. maybe I Will buy one of those 5-hat wrought-iron stands or wall displays.. but i can't decide if i like it or not.


ANYWAY


here it is:

Anyone have any idea on how old or new it might be? It can't be very old.. with a bar-code in the label..
