Interesting but more than I'll pay.

I'd love to know what it really is but at that size it probably doesn't matter anyway.

The winner sure had a tight one trying to figure out how high to go to beat the sniper. Whatever his final number was, it was enough.

Good for him.

My two latest

My two latest ebay buys.

The bigger one is an Adams, but it doesn't say a model inside. Still, it's in great shape. Paid $30. The second one is a stingy brim, my first stingy, actually. It's an Alexander from an old clothing store in Wisconsin. Paid $15 for that one. I like the ribbon, but I just think my face is too wide for a stingy. I don't like the way it looks on me. It seems a tad tighter than I'd like, too.

This rabbit Adventurebilt is now mine... or rather, will be in a few days of shipping. My 'rents won it [er... "Buy It Now"'d it] for me for my 21st birthday coming up in about 24 days.

Mario, and anyone else out there, when that comes up let me know. I would be happy to act as a forwarding service.

Thanks. Someone else also offered me to act as a 'radio repeater' (so to speak).

This is not the first time. Once or twice I tried to bid on an item on which the seller stated that he wouldn't ship outside the US and I couldn't even make a bid. Ebay wouldn't let me because the seller excluded all non-US countries from bidding on his items. [huh]

Yes, that makes good sense from the seller's perspective (if he doesn't want to sell abroad). If a particular prohibited purchase is of strong interest to you, just have a willing partner in the US purchase it for you and ship it later.

Great deal on that one. I wish I had noticed it. :eusa_clap

Tragically, however, the ship time on that one is about two years...

I don't get why the seller said it's "Semi Custom" Adventurebilts are custom. Nice buy, this is one of the "original" rabbits from before Steve swore off ever producing them... only to recently begin making them again.

Maybe for a new AB beaver fedora perhaps.

Nice.

Hence, the joke...:eusa_doh:

Yep. I've heard of some folks pushing onward to nearly three years waiting. All the hub-bub of his making the hats for the fourth Indiana Jones film created quite a backlog. He realized a dream in making Indy's hat, yet it wasn't without a touch of nightmare when it comes to the backlog situation. Though, folks who buy hats now at the increased price have a shorter turnover time.

Eh... I've been spending too much time debating politics on sites like SodaHead - the absent-mindedness has rubbed off on me. Fortunately, not the outright stupidity of many of the people there though.

Given my interest in hats, you'd think in the year of being registered here I'd post more. Hopefully that will be possible, but computer science tends to be very unforgiving.

A bluish gray Bond

Here is the one I got in the mails today...

It's a Bond Imperial Ten, size 7. in long oval. This one is in great shape. $45 plus shipping.

MV,

That is very nice, good pickup for you. Get some photos on your head, too.
It appears you are partial to grays.
