Stoopid cheap on a BIN some months back. Nice felt, my first time to handle a contemporary Borsalino. Can't compare to vintage, needless to say, for one thing; the felt is much thicker. A thickness not unlike a western, but soft w/ very little stiffener it seems. It's quire resistant to stretching up a size & staying there. :mad:
I'm thinking I need to bring more steam to the party.

That's a nice one, Rick, I like the color.

Here's a BIN I just picked up. Lee Water-Bloc So far my wife has not "allowed" me to wear any homburg so I'll see how it goes. Not sure about their dating but it looked exciting anyway so I pulled the trigger.

Winning bidder on this, like the recent Knapp Forty, averages bidding on about 360 different items per day according to ebay.[huh]

Thank you for this...after reading that, I feel so much better about my eBay addiction. Turns out I just have an occasional hobby compared to this guy! :)

You can see the winning bidder's feedback? How do you do that?

You click on the number of feedbacks an ebayer has which takes you to his feedback page. Then you click on his negatives in the tally box on his feedback page and you can read all the negatives at one time without having to sift through all his feedbacks to find them.

Some time ago, somebody here mentioned a winning bidder who was actually an intermediary between buyers in Asia, if I remember correctly. I can't find the post, but perhaps some of you might remember this? Perhaps if the buyer is actually a service buying items on behalf of others, this might explain having feedback of almost 60,000. Just a theory.

Yes, for the Seller, But we're talking about the winning bidder (this page). Unless you've got something there I don't, the bidder's ID's are obscured to me as usual, and when I click on any of their feedback scores, I get nothing.

Oh, the bidder. I wasn't looking close enough to your post. Apologies.

None needed. Just glad I wasn't missing yet another trick all these years. I just recently learned that you could isolate the negative feedbacks and read them without wading through all the positives (which can be informative themselves, not all "positives" are all that positive for some!).

I myself have sold more than one item to a particular buyer with just under 60,000 transactions. The buyer in question always sends auto generated messages asking me to put the item number on the outside of the box along with attention so and so. The buyer always pays promptly and leaves positive feedback once the item is delivered. My impression has always been that the buyer is some sort of broker (or resale buyer). Since the prices they have paid have always been far more generous than you would expect of someone buying to stock for later resale, the brokerage theory makes sense.
