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

[MikePotts]

Mike, do you mean this one from early October? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300606452068

LOL, no, this was a 7 3/8 that sold for about $75 on Oct. 29th

Don't let my friend Miss Linda hear you say "krushable" and "kitten" in the same sentence. I had a hard enough time convincing her that no real live kittens were harmed in the making of this hat.

That's a good one ... :laugh:

Got another Stetson Bantam.

A real pleasing light gray. Never had a liner for the imprint in the top of the hat. Brim is 2-5/8. Is it a late forties or a fifties piece? Anyone?

*LUST* :eeek:

I'm very sincere when I say thanks to everyone who did not participate in that auction

Is that to say you changed your mind about selling it?

No, but I would have cried if it had sold for $79.

That's a meaty-looking hat - I like it!

I love how those "whippet-like" C&K hats sold for so much yet this one sold for peanuts. Sure the 'gay prince' style isn't as popular but $56 for a 'Twenty' isn't bad. The pictures are pretty bad by the way, the hat is pretty darn nice.

Interesting. I have one just like this in gray. What is interesting is that it is from the same shop,
Paul T. Carroll of San Francisco. I wonder if that shop requested the style. Has anyone ever seen
a "Gay Prince" style C&K that did not come from Carroll's store? BTW mine is a 7 1/4 if anyone
wants it. I'll get around to listing it some time.

 

[Brad Bowers]

You may be right about that. I haven't seen this as a standard C&K model.

A very nice 50s era Stratoliner goes for pretty nice money for a size 7! $109 nice.

I was rather hoping I'd get it for a bit less...

Congrats. I helped it get there, but it didn't need my help, since I was outbid by a fair little piece.

I have to say, I was a bit surprised it went that high at such an early morning ending time.

 

[Justin B]

Not surprised it went that high, but I did have to pull over on the way to work and bid the end on my iPhone. LOL

 

[hatophile]

Nice job, Justin, that one looks in great shape!

I bid in my underwear, still damp from the shower.

Thanks for that info, Matt.
