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

[drmaxtejeda]

Wow, you got lucky. What an incredible find. I'll bet it cleans up beautifully. None of those stains look very bad. That auction only lasted about 5 minutes!!! I was trying to buy it now myself, but by the time I hit the button, it told me it had sold already! I never even got to the final screen! LOL My wife WOULD HAVE KILLED ME... but I'd have done it anyway.

Me, too! Here are screenshots of my conversation with the seller. What a relief he was honest with me!

I wonder how much it would have brought if he had left it as an auction.

Hahaha! I might send it to Optimo instead... IDK.
I hope it has a certificate like this one inside the case, but I'm not holding my breath.

I’d find someone to refurb that case!!

I hope it is possible, yes! There are many leather workers in Mexico.

 

[drmaxtejeda]

The case is pretty beat up, though

A great find, regardless. That one would have hit lots of cash if it went the distance. Wish I could have gotten it. You did good!
