I came accross this on eBay about one minute before it was ending.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...1&from=R8&satitle=8393599458&category0=&fvi=1

I looked it over a sfast as I could, then went to big $10.00, and I was too late. I notice no one won it, so, I asked the seller of maybe I could make them an offer for it... I don't recognize any of the names the seller mentions, even after searching the board here. Any thoughts? Should I pursue this further? I can still back out if it looks like a bad deal. I'm DEFINATELY going to be talking to someone about replacing that band, if the hat's worth it's salt.

Comments, questions, suggestions?

Here it is.

Just search item number 8393599458 in case that URL doesnt work.

Thanks for pointing that out to me fellas. I was wondering why no one replied. :)

What you have the is a Tyrolean. It is one of those hats that remind you of the Swiss Alps or Octoberfest. If you like that sort of thing then go for it but I would shy away from it. The brand name is not one I know well at all and the hat looks to be recently made from the pictures. For $10 you could do just about anything you like with it. My concern would be the felt quality though. I am sure you could find better to start with IMHO. :cheers1:

Regards to all,

Well, I figure any way I look at it, it's a beaver fur hat for $10, so, I think i'll go for it. If it sets on a peg on my wall, so be it, but I think i'd just kick myself for at least not checking it out.
Of course.. that band still HAS to go. :)
