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

[hatophile]

Nice catches in the 'bay Rick.

A brand I've never seen before, Biskup. A beautiful gray-blue color and looks like NOS. The price was reasonable I think for this nice hat.

Absolutely Stunning, Perry! I've never heard of that brand before either, but it looks phenomenal! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Rick, my good man, talk about coming out smelling like a rose! Quite a haul, congrats!

 

[alanfgag]

Very nice hats, everyone. :eusa_clap The summer drought has receded. I expect low prices will be the next to go.

:rain:
....when it rains, it pours, eh?

... now how the :censored: am I g'wine pay for 'em?

I'm gettin' too old to keep holdin' up convenience stores, always more of a hobby, anyway.

Anyway- "dies bonus" as the ancients would've said, if I recall my long ago Latin.

Man you sure have the gift for finding the low-priced Buy It Now bargains! Looks like that seller had a few others that sold at the same time you didn't list here. Did you get those too? Great bargains!

Got to improve my BIN searches!

[Neophyte]

Perry, that is a phenomenal find!

Me toooooo!

Just this auction pic. This was the one described as a 3x Strat by the seller, engendering my previous question about such a beast. [huh]

'Cause I am a cheap :tape2:
You gotta be like a shark- never still, cruise the listings as often as able, just for a few seconds each time- that's what works for me, anyway. I didn't get any of her others.

Get this- she replied to a question & told me eBay was going wonky as all her auctions kept disappearing -I told her it was because people were buying these as fast as they were posted LOL!

Rick, my good man, talk about coming out smelling like a rose! Quite a haul, congrats!

Mille o tante grazie! Some days you do the pooch, some days the pooch does you, eh?



...and hatophile- that's gotta be the sweetest thing I have seen all day, breathtaking & knee-weakening! :eusa_clap And I work on a College campus... and it was 92° today! :thumb:!

Do you think that sweat is original?

 

[Rick Blaine]

Do you think that sweat is original?

Dunno. Still awaiting delivery.

My worry would be that it is a 3x but not a Stratoliner.

I'd be P.O., to be sure.

From looking at the picture of that sweatband I'm afraid that might be the case. It is still a great hat though!

Thanks guys!

Seller thinks 50's on this one...can anyone confirm/deny? In any even, it looks to be in fairly pristine condition.

 

[Brad Bowers]

Late-'50s through the mid- to late-'60s.

Fine specimen.

I'm not generally a brown hat guy, but I would have been tempted by this Mr. Boulevard to keep my Mr. Main Street company if it had been my size.

I suspect the total lack of eBay love was due to the rather high starting bid.

Nice first Hommie, Jared!

 

[hatophile]

Nice pick-ups Jared and Dave.
