This is the last straw... seriously.

Somehow I knew you would end up with it when I first saw the listing!

Splendid, Alan, congratulations! So this is the straw that broke your back??

This is the last straw... seriously.

Yeah, that's what they all say. But a very nice ending, I must say.

 

[bolthead]

That Champ was nice, missed that one!

Me too, I'm sick over that one.

 

[DJH]

This is the last straw... seriously.

I was all set to compete with you on that one, but something else that I couldn't refuse came up.

Wasn't able to justify both so I cancelled my snipe. Nice hat, I hope you'll be posting some pics when it arrives.

This is the last straw... seriously.

[alanfgag]

Thank you... I had quite a few things on my watch list, but this was the one that made my pulse race a bit...

The Dobbs and yesterday's Parkway are floating to me along with the Mossant mystery size. I need a barn for my last straws.

Damn. Your haystacks are made of my needles.

Follow-up on the $49 shipping charge

Well, it seems the gentleman wasn't paying attention to the process and paid with a credit card; didn't realize the charge until it was too late. He told me he'd learned the lesson to pay attention and to forget it, and enjoy the hat.

The hat arrived today, and it was very carefully packed with a nice Thank you card inside. It is in need of a bit of cleaning, but it's a beautiful hat with a very tall crown - the blue Dobbs that Lefty posted a few pages back and I replied with a bit of info regarding the original owner.

All that taken in consideration, I went ahead and sent on an additional $12 for the heck of it. (And yes, the postage was printed on the box and was what he said it was.) Hey, it's not every day you get the chance to own a hat that belonged to one of the operators of the Havana Hilton Casino in the late 1950s!

Cheers,
Tom

Ah, well that makes sense. I've done the same thing myself more than once.
Seems like he and you both handled it well, and everyone came out fairly pleased. The view's always better from the high road.

My curiosity overcame my better judgment. At least I didn't pay a lot for what could be a junk hat. I think I April Fooled myself.

Well it's generational now. I just got a call from my daughter that she won a hat on the bay and could she use my paypal account to pay for it. How can a daddy say no to his little girl and for a hat?
