Speaking of ebay cowboy hats, the seller calling himself moviehatsandmore seems to think that dousing hats in talcum powder means he's selling "aged" or pre distressed hats.

I've seen that one but it's already too high. It started at $50 but it's going now at $150... I can't (and don't want to) pay that for a 1 size too large hat.
For that size I got this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Resistol-St...MtNNf9KEKJPK0o5Uqk1Ng%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
It's a Stagecoach but it ended much much cheaper...

Aged hats don't get that look... when I see that I step away. But funny is that they put a high price tag...

Wow! I like the ribbon, and the color contrast of that one!

Thank you. That was why I wanted it. And the crown/brim proportions looked so great
Funny that it arrived at Erlanger at the same time as one hat John Galt is sending to me!

I'm hunting a thoroughbred hat and this one appeared very cheap and my size!
Sadly I fell asleep and lost it

Somebody got a good deal on that one. Looks like an interesting old hat.

Forgot to do a bidding on this fuzzy because I had to take care of a problem and was sold for $50...

Made an offer on this one but it went away... Wanted because of the colour...

Nice one. Too bad you missed it. Keep looking...

 

[fedoracentric]

So, here is an ebay question.....

How do you all feel about a seller who models the hat for sale on someone's head?

Say, like this guy selling a ballcap on ebay....



Seeing that unruly hair on this mangy guy does NOT make me want to buy the thing that has be scrunched down on his head!
I have also seen hats perched on the heads of aged, scabby-faced guys that look half drunk, too. Ugh.

I say NEVER show your hat on a person's head on ebay because invariably it will be unappealing.

Or... am I wrong?

What do ya'all think?

On the other hand, I've seen a few sales where they slapped the hat on the head of a pretty girl and even though it doesn't make me interested in the hat, at least I wasn't repulsed! Ha, ha.

 

[1mach1]

Yeah, I tend to agree with ya there, fedoracentric.
