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

[bond]

Outdoor team just bought a Borsalino of mine off ebay Iam waiting to see what price they put on it.
Good luck to them if they can get the prices they ask. As a seller and buyer its interesting to see how people value hats.

Wow, $180 for a '70s or '80s Dobbs? That's a ridiculous price.

Exactly... They certainly do appear to have some nice lids for sale, so if their customers have that kind of dough to blow on them, I have no doubt they'd be satisfied customers. I'm just really surprised that the market will support that.

Plus, it means I have to find a whole new ballpark to play in!

Add that UNION-MADE Label to your Panama that you've always wanted! Not responsible for scabs forming on your scalp.

They were the newest members of mafia rings, assigned the task of mixing the concrete for those iconic shoes.

Weejuns, right?

I picked up this size 6 Point (59cm) J. Hückel´s Söhne Plume Melone and case. It's very dusty but other than that it appears to be in very good condition. Breiter München are still in business.

Watta ya' know

On wePay I had bid on three ( 1, 2,3 ) of the recent Bosalinos from pre-war Sofia, Bulgaria, some of the few in modern sizes I had ever seen - all from Simon Zlateff's legendary stash. I mostly bid to stimulate bidding as I didn't think they were gettin' their props...(yo ) little did I suspect I'd end up with 'em... all. The brown one I went high on as I had contacted the seller f/ a BIN on another & one of ya'll beat me to the draw on it, damn yer hide!

It all came out alright tho'. I WILL have to further thin the stock soon to ante' up f/ these. But I am pleased.

ANYONE who knows of Zlateff or his story, I'd be grateful for any info!

 

[mayserwegener]

Congrats! I would like to know more too. I have some great hats form that source.

Perry, Thanks!

Awesome trio, Rick.

If that first one is too big for you, i know a melon it'd fit.

I thank you both gentlemen. I may well have to visit Sofia myself to get any backstory on these. An agreeable task...quest...
There is a TANGO (?) website selling one for $500+! USD!

Truly a hat trick! And nary a maroon in the lot!

I was an underbidder on this rather special looking Portis, which, according to the seller, is marked "beaver." Did a lounger win it? Alan . . . Josh . . . ?

 

[carouselvic]

Beaver can be a content, but here it is a beaver finish.

Beaver can be a content, but here it is a beaver finish.

I can't see it on the hat itself, of course, but the seller writes, "TAG UNDER SWEAT BAND SAYS, BEAVER FELT."

Good decision by Josh to post the Flagship on eBay.

Nice deal for the buyer on the Marathon though.

I admired but did not bid.

I keep looking at this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150801854063#ht_500wt_922

The seller has just relisted it at the same price. But no one seems interested. Is that price just flat out over the top?
