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

That sawinokur eBay seller was born without a sense of shame. Sinvergüenzas, we call them. I wonder what it's like.

Yes, those descriptions and quality upgrades to “twenty quality”or size changes plus the false claims on “dad’s collection” really get out of hand.

I’m not sure on the size, but based on the seller’s measurements it should at least begin with a “7.”

Maybe it should stop right there at 7 ! I've bought a few of those "bowlers"; always fun!

I do wonder if “Dad” even exists….

Now he listed an Art Fawcett hat with the words "OPTIMO" and "Stetson". I reported it to eBay. I detest that guy almost as much as the Mexican president.

Well, it appears that "Dad" might actually be a real person! Here are screenshots of my recent conversation with this seller. For clarity, I will post each one separately.

And this is part of my final reply:

I find this reply of yours encouraging. I hope you make change some changes. Max.​

Sorry Max. I find it all hard to believe. I've caught him/them in too many hoaxes.

^^^so it now is “Great Grandfather’s” collection.
2 years ago it would therefore have been, “Grandfather‘s” collection.

That still doesn’t explain how about 3 or 4 years ago “Dad” was basically on his deathbed according to conversations i had with him/them that ran the show??? I recall it was the Son who spoke of Dad??

While the response is nice and believable it still doesn’t track well. In fact it smells even fishier then the original smell.
Just my nose i guess?

Speaking of “colorful” ebay sellers, haven’t heard much of Timothy’s Closet guy.
Hope he’s ok.

True. I share the feeling, but at least I let them know there is a large population of skeptics in the Fedora Lounge
