Stetson Ermine Beaver [/URL]that belonged to General Mayor Manuel Lopez Migoya has been relisted. It's now an $8,500 BIN with a Make Offer option.

LOL! and good luck on that price.

 

[Neophyte]

I offered $50, let's see where it goes lol.

 

[HatsEnough]

I'd even give then $500. But that is about it.

Cool! A slap-n-a-tickle and she'll be back in shape!

At least it's your size; you'd be able to wear it if you wanted to!

I have no idea how one would go about putting a price on the value of that hat. The fact that it's an ermine/beaver and possibly the only one left in itself would make it worth a bundle to the right person. Add the historic value (however much that is) and it probably is worth quite a bit. Unfortunately for that seller, most of us who can appreciate that hat for what it is are probably here, and we're more interested in hats that we can A. afford (or justify to ourselves buying), and B. wear. If I'd won the lottery I'd make a decent offer on it just to check it out. Since I haven't won anything I'll just agree with Marc and hope that the seller's luck is good.

Cheers,
Tom

I think OJ Simpson said that once.

I think OJ Simpson said that once.

In that case, I retract. :eeek:

It would be really interesting to see what it would bring with no start price and no reserve. Although its not the best example because its a 6 7/8 and it has quite a bit of spotting/staining on the felt. On the other hand, its the only one we've ever seen.

I think his cell mate tells him that now, in between having him do the laundry and scrub the cell floor......

Well, thanks to Josh I finally got my Kitten. That means that I am done with hat buying for the year.

 

[HatsEnough]

That means that I am done with hat buying for the year.

Wow. What is that like?

 

[LoveMyHats2]

I keep thinking the same thing about not getting any more, but I do. I have so many old hats (not old as in vintage, just ones I do not want taking up space) and the need to get rid of them, and yet I am still obtaining hats.

 

[EggHead]

That's how I felt when I bought a hat that was previous to my last hat.

There was a "kitten" on ebay, anything you got or is that something not related to your new purchase?

 

[LoveMyHats2]

Not to say how it is for anyone else, but I fear that it may be linked to what some call, going through a second childhood! I find myself looking for hats, thinking of where a rare find may be, and then, I see what everyone else seems to be lucky in finding and wonder, who has all these hat magnet compasses that keep bringing them such fantastic hats at such decent prices?

 

[HatsEnough]

I don't know about anyone else, but I keep telling my wife I hardly have any hats!

 

[jlee562]

My line is "You think I have a lot of hats? You should see the folks on The Fedora Lounge!"

I cannot use that one, as my Wife is the one that normally finds a hat and then buys it for me.
