The complete lack of any idea of size kept me from bidding more on this, if its a 7 1/8 or higher somebody got a steal http://www.ebay.com/itm/JOHN-B-STET...AlIv%2BO8fU4A%2FPTG18%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

According to the seller in response to a question: " ... I did measure the inside of the band. From front to back is aprox 8" and from side to side is aprox 6.5".

I think it might have been alanfgag who posted an approximatation formula for ascertaining hat size being the addition of the long & short diameters divided by two. So, if memory serves me correctly in that vein, we get 8 + 6.5 = 14.5 / 2 = 7.25 or size 7-1/4 which is > than 7-1/8.

QED by viclip the brilliant mathematician (in my own mind)

Beautiful gray start that soared out of my price range http://www.ebay.com/itm/371223070977?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I commiserate, Matt. I bid on that one for a while too.

 

[Historyteach24]

It jumped 100 dollars in 2 seconds, haven't seen anything like that in a while

 

[RJR]

Wow!

 

[mingoslim]

I was in on it too . . . but when it jumped so high at the end, I had to bow out.

$270.00 is a steal! What Strats have you guys been watching? All the grey 7 1/2's I've bid on have gone north of $400. I was away for the holidays or this would have never gone this cheap.

 

[Historyteach24]

Usually strats with the original box go that high and this one had a few flaws

There was another grey earlier last year that went $405 and a greenish grey also over $400 the completed listing seems to be gone, all no Strat box

I think if you want to pay less than $270 your looking at getting a very rough one like;

http://www.ebay.com/itm/231436811404?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

which may go higher as well, it is a vita-felt, has the box and the insert
