@johnnyphi Do you only ship to the USA, or do you also ship worldwide? If you do, how much would be the shipping fee to Germany?

YES! I can ship to Germany

I will ship anywhere in the world. If you win an auction, then I will work with you to calculate the shipping charges. I normally use US Postal Service to ship internationally.

PayPal account is not required...

I received a PM regarding the need for PayPal accounts.

I handle all of my transactions via PayPal, but you do not need a PayPal account to purchase one of my hats. If you win, then I will send a PayPal invoice to your email address, and you can pay securely with your credit card via the PayPal website.

Misbegotten degrees

It has been fascinating to observe the bidding patterns. There are far fewer incremental raises of $5 and more large increases, such as $15 or $25, than I would have expected, but I've never quite comprehended behavior in auctions. I imagine that an economist with some free time and an odd sense of amusement could write a whimsical short paper about this case.

I tend to agree that auction behavior can be strange. However, sometimes there are forces at work that make rational things seem odd. For example, bidders may not be able to monitor the auction near it's end time, thus forcing them to bid ebay style (highest price willing to pay). Since bidders can be from any time zone in the world, that issue is very likely effecting what we see. Heck, I once upped the bid by some $20 or more because I was going to be out of town the last three days of the auction. (It worked by the way, and it's the nicest vintage lid in my collection). :D

Johnnyphi is tuckered out...

Sorry for the lack of auctions... It has been a rough couple of days. I'll post a few auctions tomorrow evening, if I can.

Were the hats evenly auctioned, or are the best left to the end? Just wonderin...
Although there have been some beaut's throughout the auction process, it certainly seems like the best has been saved for the end. There have been some impossibly awesome hats available and the the going prices reflect our obvious lust (at least in the popular sizes)...

Well, from my observations, I think its safe to say that the hats have been pretty evenly mixed throughout. With most of the auction waves thus far, there have been a good variety of hats from different companies, and in different conditions. Course, I haven't paid attention to every auction, but there have been some real nice ones around. And with a community such as this one, there's likely to be differences in interest between hats. Some folks will like one hat, and not so much another. Still, I believe the majority of hats offered so far have found new owners, who have expressed their enthusiasm.

Based on the quality and condition (yes, even NOS condition varies) of the ones I have gotten, I'd say things were very evenly spread. That is supported by the fact that I "lust" for about the same proportion of hats remaining in relation to how many there are. ;)
