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

[vinnypolston]

Not a hat victory, but a huge victory for me!! I picked this gem off ebay last night for $79 + shipping!! It's a #22 hat block & #1085 brim flange WAY cheaper than single blocks or flanges I see on there. God blessed me with a great deal. Best of all = my hat size!!

Congrats to the winner of this beautiful old French number - I put in a $200 effort but it wasn't enough:

Nice block set, vinny!

Garrett, the winning bid shows as $200, but someone else won? [huh]

Thanks for the positive remarks on my recent win, guys. Fingers crossed. The Bay certainly owes me a catch.

That is very nice... sorry it isn't headed home to your head, Garrett.

I think it said the next increment would be $202.50 or something like that [huh]

I think this happens when the other person also bid exactly $200 but put their bid in earlier. It's happened to me before and it's quite annoying.

I'm shocked this didn't go way higher. Hopefully the blurry pictures weren't purposeful, hiding a bunch of issues. Cynical of me, I know. Better pics when it arrives.

That's a sweet looking hat. Congrats.

My bid was just canceled for this Stratoliner.

I suppose the seller accepted an offer. One of you, perhaps?

Do you wear a 7 1/8 LO, Randall, or are you looking for a birthday present for me??

 

[randooch]

lol

It looked like an opportunity to recoup the c-note I lost on that S-100.

Hi, I'm a new member.

Hi I'm new here and learning the lay of the land. I have a Vintage shop on a site called Etsy and have used this site when researching hats. I'd love to do a blog post about the site but don't know how/who to contact for permissions. Can anyone help? Thanks!

 

[randooch]

Welcome!

Once you have 15 posts, you can access the Classifieds section of the Lounge. Then you can post a link to your Etsy account.

Hi Randall, Thanks that's great information too, but what I was asking is who I would contact to get permission to use some of the great information on dating hats in my blog. There's some great information here and I'd like to link the site and show some of the photographs and write a comprehensive post about dating vintage hats. When I click on the contact us link it just takes me right back to the forum.

Umm, does anybody know what this is?

If it were 23 1/4 inches around, I'd gladly buy it. They pop up now and then. It would be great to restore a crown to its open position.

Is it your size, Jared?

Maybe a bartender could chime in here?

That particular one is not my size, but there is one on the bay which is, but substantially more expensive.
