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

[ScottF]

Thank you. My apologies to you and Scott(and 8 others)
Probable color correction:

Rlk, once again you have saved me from furthering my addiction. I changed a huge snipe to $75 and took a nap for added protection.

It looks like it will be a nice one.

That's a beauty Manny. I am beginning to like the lighter colors such as that. It looks like it would have a great feel to the felt as well. Very nice!

Hey thanks. I've been looking for a nice tan colored fedora since I gave up my old Merrimac to a museum last year. It was wool and had a moth divot so it had to go. Funny thing is I still miss the darned thing!

rlk, I think you probably nailed the color on that Disney.

In a fit of depression, I bought another Knox Twenty 'custom edge'. Why...why...why....don't you people save me from my madness !?! [huh]

Sweet Jesu! That's a lot of clams for a Dobbs 20!

I have a moth-eaten Dobbs Gay Blade in that colour combination. According to the lable inside the sweat, the colour is 'Twilite'.

I've decided the moth tracks are what the antique world calls patina - and I've learned to love them.....kinda like varicose veins.

Looks like a nice one. I felt the temptation but then told myself how many brown hats of similar style and dimension I already have ...and how much I've already spent today.

I'm looking for a 12-step program for Knox Twenty addicts.

I was not admitted for bidding because of seller´s shipping policy discrimination :rage:

However, I heard the buyer say during the bidding battle: "this hat has been assimilated, bidding is futile. I am the Borg and buy al hats" lol

I have noticed Dobbs in good condition with brims in the 2-1/2 to 3’ size have been bring good prices for ebay sellers as compared to say Knox. This is contrary to what I would expect base on the rating of Dobbs in the vintage hat makers thread where Dobbs was labled as the basic Chevy band in a line of hat bands produce by a single large hat manufacturing company Hat Corp. of America. I recently purchased a thin ribbon Dobbs twenty in pristine condition for about $230 with a 2-7/8 brim from ebay. I did mention in the Dobbs thread my Dobbs twenty could go toe to toe with any of my Stetson 7 clears and that each the hat bands in the band of hats manufactured by Hat Corp. of America, including Dobbs, Dunlap, Cavanagh, Knox, Crofut &Knapp have different quality lines with in their band like 15, 20, 40, 50. 100. My point is I do not consider Dobbs to be of inferior quality to the other hats in the HCOA group and recent sales price on ebay show other agreed.

Hi Scott
I had a bid in on your Knox myself.

:arated:

But it's a beauty and will enhance your collection of gorgeous Borsos. Seller told me that it measures a full 22" in circumference .

But Scott, we LIKE you this way. It makes us feel....well....normal like you!

I live in Europe too - unless the seller explicitly says he's not shipping internationally in the listing description itself, I've learned that most people who list their auctions with "Ships to: United States"(and nothing else) will in fact (way)more often than not let you try your luck on their auctions just fine, just as long as you politely ask about the possibility beforehand.

A well-established feedback history helps with things like that of course, I suppose reactions could vary more if you have a relatively new account.

Funny, I was watching the same one, but refrained from hitting the "bid" button. Man that was tough, lol.
