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

[rlk]

Picked up two nice cheapies recently. Not sure why they weren't more popular:

light grey Borso with Cav Edge

light grey Stetson Avenue

Good buys, but so much for clearing out the house[huh]

The Avenue may have gone for more if it had been advertised as such. You (I'm guessing) were the only one to ask about other markings.

Peschel

This beautiful - pristine black German made Peschel (57cm) went for 14,63 EURO on Germany eBay.

I wasn't the one who asked - trying to thin the herd, so avoiding temptation...but noticed the 'ask the seller' note and couldn't resist. Just hoping it's not too big.

Great-looking hat - has the look of the old Stetson dress westerns.

Hey ScottF if that Avenue turns out to be too big for you let me know...I would be happy to help you out with your problem!! I was watching that one but ended up bidding on a Knox instead...

 

[Dinerman]

I won both of these.

That black Stetson is fantastic even with the hole.

You beat me on the avenue....What was your high bid?

It was VERY high. If I were buying it to re-sell, I would have bid about $60 and cleaned it up. But I'm keeping either it or the Borso, maybe both, and bid accordingly for each.

This was so unique looking, I just had to have it. I showed my wife, and she told me I HAD to buy it!

It's a new hat, but you got a pretty good deal.

Dang you. That was on my watch list. And you're right, that's just a beautiful hat. I came close to punching that buy it now button. Congratulations!!!!

I apologize to Lefty... I jumped a couple post back and looked at Scotts Stetson Avenue.

Here’s my latest purchase, an English fedora, which I got for a song from a seller on Ebay who was in Guernsey. The sweatband needed refixing and I had to brush it like mad because it was dusty as anything but there are no moth signs or anything else apart from a somewhat stained lining. The bash was redone by me after I made it open crown to brush it. Very 1940s I thought.

In the mirror I didn’t like how it looked on me but in a photo I thought it passed muster and have grown to like it. Yesterday I went to hear Mozart’s Requiem at St Martin-in-the-Fields church in London and wore it. Not in church, of course, that is to be deprecated. The church is not far from where the hat was sold originally; it being a Woodrow of Piccadilly, who were hatmakers to the royalty.

Apologies. I spend an hour trying to link from Photobucket using the instructions in the FAQ but can't make it work. The link one finds in 'Share' doesn't work and right clicking leads me to a Flash page and not to any 'Properties' button. Hence my problem.

 

[Michaelshane]

Don't use the share link, use image code.

 

[Hereward]

Don't use the share link, use image code.

I don't know what image code means or where to find it.
