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

[Mr. Paladin]

Wow,......that is one beautiful hat!

:arated: That is sharp!

 

[Tooch]

Just a few days ago, I promised to myself (New Year's Eve, you know... ) to call a halt to my shopping spree, at least for a few weeks. After all, it's the month after Christmas, and I'm going to suffer for making this purchase (even though it turned out to be a real steal...).

Oh ... I might have succumbed to temptation on that one, too. Looks like a beauty!

 

[kaosharper1]

Now why would someone cut off that Cav edge?

I have a Dobbs like that. Probably done in the 1960s to make the hat stingier and more "fashionable."

 

[billysmom]

Darn it! I just won this beautiful greenish-gray Knox with a whopping 3" brim (my largest by now and, for for some reason also my first Knox) and a lovely ribbon to go with it. Seems to have a few moth nibbles which failed to scare me away.

What's really buggin' me is the fact that I DID bid on the hat in the first place. And more so that I actually WON!

Is there no help?

There is no help, Mario. Especially when wonderful hats like this one keep showing up! Congrats!

Green Barbisio Longhair Backbow

I'm not sure why I made an offer on this guy, except that I've always liked Barbisios. I couldn't get the seller to give me more details (& pics) for the hat, but my offer of $2 was accepted. With S&H @ $8, it doesn't seem like a lot. Might be fun

 

[fluteplayer07]

$2? Are you kidding? (Albeit, shipping was 4 times more than the item itself) I've been searching through the 'bay for a Barbisio, but haven't found one. Anyways, congrats! :eusa_clap At $10, you really can't go wrong. Looks great!

cheap, large (assuming it's punti sized) Borso

Cool. And for it's age, it looks like it's never been worn! (If it were only 5 years old, it would look like it had been worn?)

That hat could be awesome - you could wear it with anything brown. I also bet it would look awesome with a black jacket - either fuzzy wool or leather.

Scott <=== wears anything with anything

That made me laugh. Thanks for the encouraging words.

There might be variations on this box, but the strap seems to be broken.

on another topic,

not as nice as the $200 repros, but still...

Yes, it is variation of what is the "normal" flagship box, but $96 sure seems like a load to me.[huh]

I just got this one recently. I wonder how much it would cost to reproduce....

[Lefty]

I can't seem to find the thread where the repros were sold on the Hats forum, but they were beautiful, and the seller took a loss at around $200 each. The thread turned a bit ugly, so it may have been moved or deleted.

edit: found it, and it was cheaper than I thought

 

[rlk]

Could be less than 30 years old and very small...

Portis Homburg

I hope this one is of equivalent quality to my Portis fedoras ...
