Man I really wanted it but someone wanted it a little more than I did. Dang it might be time to liquidate a 7XCB or 2 in my collection if that is the going rate!

I had the high bid for 1/1000 of a second. Pristine condition and I don’t think it went for more than it was worth. I’d have payed that if it was my size.

Had I known the seller would be a flake and throw in the towel less than 48 hours after posting up for auction...

Any sharks here steal this?

Wow, looks fantastic, great piece of engineering. It sold way below market value!
Vintage 4-Way hat stretchers are so rare and hard to find. New ones cost over 100 $ and don`t have this kind of "steam punk" appeal.

4-Way hat stretchers are so rare and hard to find; wonder why ... not enough demand?

I know. I can't believe the seller accepted that offer after not even two days! Clearly didn't know what (s)he had. My plan was to sit on this for a couple days and then casually ask what the min/max dimensions were retracted/open. Didn't want it published to increase competition, as there were already several others watching. Since I'll never know I'm going to pretend it didn't fit my size. Still, this one hurts.
