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

To be fair, if a seller uses a service, she might not be aware of it.

Of course there's no law that says you can't enter 000-000-0000 as I sometimes do.

The best "I'm not long-distance in this country" ePrey description I've seen in a while. I think the translation is 6 7/8 but you'd better ask questions....

This is interesting. The page for Los Angeles lists "Alexander & Oviatt"s first store location (219 W. 4th St.) as well as its second ... but "Alexander & Oviatt" had moved completely out of its first location by 1916. This tells me that The American Hatter 1920 Trade Directory was not entirely up-to-date on its information.

It appears the requirement of phone number entry is a default if your using ebay checkout. But the seller can go in and turn off the requirement. If they need your phone they can always get it (thru an advanced search > find contact information).



Tom, it may not violate a law, but entering an invalid phone does violate ebays rules. Of course, this says "when registering"....

Interesting, neighbor.

I have never had to enter a phone number or any other information while paying for an ebay auction... which is why I suggested it was a third-party selling service that interfaces with ebay. I have no problem spoofing those.

If you're a United States tax payer.......

It's the comment phone number at the White House in Washington....

If you pay taxes...it's your house and your number.....

Oh Canada!
My offer was accepted for this Sovereign. (I think his spelling did him in) A mite stingy on the brim and beefy in the band, but otherwise, exactly my size and color preference. Did I do OK?

As I know zip about these hats, I'd welcome any pointers you may have to offer.

Flange, marked Columbia. Possibly Stetson....

There have been two of these Huanuni(s?) floating around for a couple of weeks. One was described as world-class rare, the other, a basic description. Can't help but wonder if the braggart got a reality check by searching ePrey?

Trippy hat! Can't imagine not having things thrown at you while wearing that one.

Did I do OK?

If it fits comfortably and you enjoy having it on your bean, you did okay.

You know I love hats...however, not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings, which end of that hat is the BBQ at?

I like the hat, sort of reminds me of the Stetson Eagle perhaps due to the hat band with that nice pin! I think you got a good deal!

Every single day, I find myself musing, "If only Fedora Loungers looked for vintage men's clothing on eBay as diligently as Lefty looks for vintage men's hats."

This lil Gem showed up finally, another nice pleasant purchase my Wife obtained for me off eBay, champ feather weight superjet. Bless her again! She also let me know (I was not aware) that Village Hats had a sale over this last weekend, and she spent some time finding me some things for summer!

I'm pleased to be the yardstick of civilization in your head.

western Borso, 6 7/8 - I can't tell if the brim has been cut or it it's just the photo.
