Great find (and price) Dogman!

Greg -- I have a wider ribbon No.1 that was a gift from Michael R. Seems to be the same ribbon.

IMG_20180718_140051821_LL.jpg IMG_20180718_140051821_LL.jpg I use Amazon a lot. I got this Stetson Pinnacle Beaver Fur for $91. Also got a Temple and a Saxon for just over $61. They seemed to have been dumping a lot of Bailey hats. I got Straws from $8 to $20 and wool hats for around $25- $30. I usually have 20 or so hats sitting in the cart, saved for later side, and check it daily for price changes.

That's a very nice looking hat. Welcome to the lounge!

I've poked around Amazon myself, with no luck of finding anything. I guess I need to refine my searches. I'm not really knowledgeable or experienced in seeking out hats on the cheap.

Best way I've found. Pick a hat like a Stetson. Search it. Underneath the description there will bill a bunch of related hats. It will give a price range. Then just click on one and see what prices your size would be. I save them to the cart then check regularly. The Pinnacle was $300 for about a year and then it kept dropping $10 or $20 each day till it hit $91 then I jumped.
Hope this helps.

Great looking hat for a deal. Substantial brim.

I've ventured down that road before, but I've never done the price range thing. I'll have to give it a whirl. Thanks for the advice.

If you buy a hat from an auction house, be sure and get an idea of shipping before you dive in too deep. I bought a Rand and a D-Bar-J for what I felt was a great price (even with 23% buyer's premium), but when I was quoted shipping by the third parties that the auction house recommended (they didn't ship themselves) I was quoted prices of $65, $78.87 and $126.43. For two hats!?!

Most hats I've had shipped (even from other non-eBay auction houses) have run from $10 to $20 typically.

I was starting to panic so I reached out to a fellow Lounger who lived "in the area". A big thanks goes out to Steve (@mayserwegener) for being willing to pick up the hats from the auction house. I can't thank him enough!

Just for fun here's a pic from the auction house from 1957:
