I got lucky!

I just posted this on the Open Road Guild thread, but I thought I'd put it here, too. Here's the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=120308633472
What amazes me is that the words Open Road were not noticed by the seller or any other bidder.

"click" the pic to see the auction page. I'm sure glad the seller listed it
incorrectly. He'd have got way more "hits" and likely way more dough
had he done it right. Whew!

I know I've already posted my nice score, but cruising for my size again, I came across another Mallory Homburg that's exactly like mine, but black, going for $80 at this point, so that makes my victory even that much sweeter!

Edit: Active auction link removed. Please do not post links to active auctions. --AlanC

I'd hardly let that surprise me... I found my OR the same way. It was bashed like a traditional OR, and clearly said "Royal Deluxe Stetson Open Road," but it came in a Champ box, so the seller labeled it as a Champ hat.

Great find! :eusa_clap

Ok, Who Stole This One...?

Wow....somebody was very fortunate to walk away with this dandy....Dobbs Forty.....What a Steal!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I realize it's a Resistol box, that's kind of a bummer, but look at the shape it's in for that price.....I know, I know, the size....look at the size, regardless of the size.....it was a steal in my opinion. The sweat and liner look like new. I wish I had seen it earlier.

$13? That's less than it originally went for. Dang, someone stole that hat.

My abacus may be on the fritz but I believe the difference between the winning bid and the original price is ($20.00-$13.15=$6.85). Taking inflation into account the difference could well be in excess of $20.00 I suppose. ;)

bidding up up up

can anyone assure me that there is some mechanism in place on the bay to prevent say, one's squeeze, from driving a price up with phony bids? maybe i'm being too cynical, but . . .
