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

[bolthead]

Wow....

Yep, me too. If it's as nice as the seller indicates, this hat could have easily gone into triple figures, if only the seller had known what he/she had before listing it. I wondered why they said it was a 7 1/2 when the photo clearly shows the 7 3/8 tag.[huh] Either way, it will fit me.

I just stumbled across it doing my usual search for Cavanagh advertisements and such. It must have been listed shortly before I saw it, since nobody else had pounced on it.

I'll be sure and post the details once I receive it, for better or worse.

Brad, you sure did get an Amazing deal, it looks to be in great shape. Like you said, the box is worth that much alone, it looks to be pristine.....and the S&H price is excellent, to boot.

Well done sir. :eusa_clap

This buyer got a heck of a deal. $1600 for a book of 250 common stock certificates. These individual certificates generally sell for about $50 on the web.

Cavanagh Score!

Well done, Brad! Man, that's a promising find. Just when I swear off eBaying for a spell, one of you gents reinspires me!

My birthday present to me

I just purchased a birthday present for myself, a Stratoliner on eBay. I was pleased to get it for under $200. It will be heading west to Art for a little repair work. Photos with me under it will follow Art's restoration. Any information that can be supplied regarding age, etc. will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sam

Nice find!

Sam, That Strat looks to be in pretty good condition and it's a 7 1/2! I'm looking forward to seeing it once Art has worked his magic. Congratulations and Happy Birthday!

Glad you got that one, Brad.
I spotted it earlier but decided I wanted more information
before pulling the trigger. Glad it's in good hands and that
we'll see what it's really like soon.

Well, this is a bit of a gamble, but I think I just scored my deal for the year on a 7 3/8 Cavanagh.

At $19.99 for a Buy It Now, I wasn't going to wait around to have questions answered about moth bites or anything. Heck, the box is worth that alone.

Looks to be another early- to mid-Fifties model, possibly gray. That'd be swell, as I already have a brown one, same period.

Crossing my fingers to see what I end up with.

That would be mine. I'll post pictures as soon as it arrives.

Nice find tortswon. It looks fantastic. I contacted Art a few months back and he told me that he would not be doing any cleaning/repair services. Have you spoken to him recently? If so, is he currently offering these services?

 

[bolthead]

Very Nice Tort....

is it Blue like it's showing? [huh]
btw, you have an Amazing Collection!!!


Did anybody win this one, Champ I thought it was a very nice lid, love the pin that went with it. :eusa_clap

 

[Lefty]

$119, 7 1/2 Whippet. Dust or damage, you decide.

 

[tortswon]

Congrats

Lefty, I was looking at that Whippet but I decided to go all in for the Stratoliner because I already had a Whippet (thanks to Carter). If that is damage, maybe our hats will meet on Art's workbench. Happy New Year! Best, Sam

 

[gtdean48]

Sam,
I was in on the Stratoliner as well but ended up with an OR that is more my size, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160306612750 = not sure I'll see a Strat at 7 5/8! Congrats to you & Lefty. I saw that Whippet but just too thick of a ribbon for me. gtd

Lefty I have some stocks that I would love to sell at that price. But mine have nothing to do with hats or anything vintage.

Very nice!

 

[tortswon]

It's a beauty

gtdean, that OR is a beauty. I know you'll enjoy wearing it. Looks like last night was a good one for several of us on eBay. Best, Sam

 

[carter]

gtdean, I was watching that OR and hoping a member of the FL would win the auction. I think you got a good one.

Did anyone here win the JCP Marathon that went for $9.99 + shipping? Only one bid on a 7 1/4.

It'll have a nice new home! I was surprise that I won it given what prices went on others that I lost. I was at my limit for a long time on that bid... gtd

 

[gtdean48]

Awaiting arrival...

BTW, I had won this one last week on OFAS but was really waiting to see just what I got. The listing was a little suspect but keeping a possitive menal attitude about it... gtd
