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

[monbla256]

It's a nice hat in a good color and size and style. Consumer juices are flowing and you need only two to tango.

You said it well. Have a decent item, popular and in great condition, start at a decent price and get two buyers who have deep enough pockets and WANT it and sit back and let 'em fill your pockets with $s An e-prey seller's dream There's NOTHING logical about e-prey !

It's akin to gambling. Some people just can't stop.

Dealing with Ebay auctions is a learning experience. Sometimes it takes a couple to auctions to learn to control the juices.

And it's in superb, essentially pristine condition. Some bidders really prize that; they don't want soiled leather sweatbands rubbing against their scalps.

Someone snagged a nice 7 3/8LO Stratoliner with a BIN of $250. (Wasn't I.)

Ah, so I see. A very short spell. At least he got what he wanted for it, eh?

I don't know anything about its origins or condition, and with my track record with eBay hats means it probably won't fit and will go back on the 'bay within due time. If it works, great! Either way it just feels good to gamble again lol.

Hey Alex, that looks like a pretty good gamble to me. I would have jumped on it myself, but too small. Sharp lid, IMHO!

Great job!

Thanks eveyone! I think it will be on the wrong side of "too small" for me as well.

Ain't that the truth. Often nice hats, but I run out of steam half way down the page.

 

[bowlerman]

nice to be thorough, but maybe not so long winded!

just read a live auction, so I won't post it, but I particularly enjoyed the closing paragraph:


Very interesting collection. EVERYONE can look good in these and get a new girlfriend.

Looks like it will be a nice one ! I've been to that shop out in Canyon, Texas. It's out in far West Texas out near the Big Bend area.

Sounds good.

You must have Canyon confused with some other town like Marfa.
Canyon is 35 miles south of Amarillo on I-27. It is sort of the gateway to Palo Duro Canyon.
