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

Cheapie, I know

Just won this Morfelt.

Yes, I realize that this is a hat of cruddy quality, but It's intrigued me since I saw it days ago. It'll take a little tweaking to get the 'crushing' from the one side, but I don't count on it being a go to hat in dress situations.

Did anyone in our ranks land this hat?

P.S I can't for the life of me get text in my links... it's frustrating.

I guess it's been a night of high prices for some nice 40s/50s Stetson dress hats. Other makes and styles didn't do as well for the sellers.

this 6 3/4 western style managed to stay low

but this beautiful Playboy clone, 7 3/8 didn't

nor did this Strat

this 7 1/8 Borso nutria derby stayed under the radar

I put in a few low bids early on for the Playboy and Strat...but I was amazed by the final prices when I got the "You Didn't Win..." notifications on my phone tonight. Wow!

 

[wgiceman]

I knew not to get caught up in this "Whippet War". Did one of you loungers get this one?

I see auto-snipes as... uncouth... Even though I have been tempted to use them after a few particularly nasty losses at last second. I do have a different thought policy on manual snipes. If you have the guts and the skills to risk it all and do a snipe the old fashioned way, then that's fair game. Just as much a chance of having your internet freeze up or your bid being too low, as if you're sniped while bidding the 'normal' way.

Just you keep thinking that ...the rest of us will keep sniping away...

This one is billed as a Playboy clone, but it is actually the style that Stetson dubbed the "Wanderer" -- a Playboy ribbon treatment, with a narrow bound edge. Nice lid.

This one is mislabeled. Not a Derby.

Correct, an up-brim that moves from Fedora into Homburg range to the modern eye. Similar to the hat I wore yesterday(overwelt on the curl of the edge).

 

[Lefty]

Agreed. I only looked at the first photo and the liner. The first, blurry photo looked like it was a tight, bound, hard curl.

More than I wanted to pay...likely worth every penny

Type the text first, highlight it, then click the link button, and paste in the url.

 

[Lefty]

Wow, I didn't know there was more than one way to do it. I paste the url into the pop up for it, hit enter, and then just start typing the text I want to show.

I'm a bit surprised that it didn't move at all toward the end. You had it won a while ago.

What a great hat. I think it's probably my favorite "medal" Stetson for both its style and condition. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

The use of the brass measuring tool made me curious as to whether the seller is a Lounger, or just someone at an antique mall who figured out what the strange looking tool is meant to do.

Absolutely outstanding, Garrett! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Strange lot with Mossant from Oviatts

Didn't win this

[Lefty]

That's a pretty odd lot.

Here's a Stetson Panama Exposition derby in a large size that didn't hit the $75 starting bid.
