The Sale of NOS Johnnyphi hats begins.

[Nathan Flowers]

It's a minimum of $5.00 you can bid as much as you want over $5.00

This is absolutely correct.

 

[Not-Bogart13]

This is absolutely correct.

Ah. Well, that's a hat of a different color, isn't it. I have been set straight. Well, maybe not straight, but less wavy than before.

 

[jeff]

Howdy,

If there's no starting bid specified in the auction, is that a mistake, or can we assume that the opening bid is $5?

auction payment

What's the trick to getting a response AFTER the auction ends so I can send payment? Sent paypal info, email and shipping address by PM, 2 days no response.
Perhaps johnnyphi is outta town?

 

[scotrace]

Johnnyphi is quite busy with real world work and I'm sure you'll hear from him very soon.

The sooner I get the PM, the sooner you get your hat...

Fred,

I didn't receive your PM with your PayPal email address, until today. I was starting to worry, but I figured you'd come calling when you were ready. Anyway, the PayPal invoice is in your email Inbox, awaiting payment.

Let's be clear for the folks at home... You won the auction 2 days ago, and you sent the PM with PayPal info this afternoon. I was here on Saturday, watching the auction. Invoices went out to GWD, Stan and J.B. on Sunday because they sent me their info right away. I received their payments yesterday, and their hats shipped this morning. Stan paid today, and his will ship in the morning.

As mentioned in Scott's "Rules of Engagement" post, the winner of each auction should send me their PayPal address after the auction closes. Your second PM was very helpful because it included the auction number, hat barcode, etc. That makes my life much easier.

Scott is exactly right. I do have a "day job", although I was there until 10 PM tonight, so it is really more of a "night and day job"...

Members rest assured, if you send me the PayPal info, then I'll send the invoice.

Loooonnnnggg Week...

I'm sorry that I wasn't able to post any new hats for auction on Wednesday night. It has been a very long week, and I just didn't have time to deal with it.

I did ship hats to everyone who sent me a PM for earlier auctions, so I'm looking forward to seeing photos posted. GWD and JB should have received theirs today... What do you think, gents?

New auctions will be posted on Sunday, and hopefully I'll be able to post 2 hats from each size to make up for the auction we missed this week.

Things were just starting to heat up, so I hope that continues!

Regards,
Johnny

I think these auctions are a fantastic addidtion to the site, but....


Could you make everyone out there stop having the same size head as mine?

or maybe make them not have more money than I do?


I seriously hope everyone with the "right" size head is/will be enjoying MY hats.:rage:

...GWD and JB should have received theirs today... What do you think, gents?...

Just opened the box three hours ago and I'll tell you what I think, johnnyphi. I think your hat is SENSATIONAL!

It already ranks as one of my absolute favorites, and I can't tell you what a kick it is to be the first owner/wearer/ELU of a 50 year-old hat!

(I've only owned one other NOS vintage hat. Oddly enough, it was an ADAM, too...) [huh]

Thanks again for auctioning your fine purchase to the members here. Believe me, if I can just "get well" with a longshot against Big Brown tomorrow -- I'll be in there buying more of 'em with both hands!!

 

[GWD]

I missed the hat shipment, I had it delivered to my office but I had to leave the office before it arrived, I'll get it on Monday....I can't wait!

Thread Lock-down Possible?

If it's not too much trouble, would it be possible for a bartender to lock down the johnnyphi auction threads for the hats that have already been sold? (It's getting a wee bit confusing to follow the action these days...) Many thanks!


Cheers,
JtL

I agree!

Ended auctions are usually marked "SOLD" in the title.
I'll update that this evening.

Many thanks, Scott. [BTW, I mentioned the "lock-down" since the icon makes it easy to see at a glance which auctions are "live" or not. ]

Cheers,

[scotrace]

We'll leave them open as Johnnyphi may have further business to post in them.. Look for the "SOLD or UNSOLD at the far right of the thread auction title.

Johnny-
We understand! Hope you get a little break time. Looking forward to Sunday.

Just a little heads-up about sizing. My 7 1/8 (one was lo)schoble and adam ran true to size. A 7 1/8 usually tends to fit a little loose on me and these fit just a touch tighter than my other lids. Definately not enough to go up a size, but such that I am glad I resisted the urge to try for a good deal on a 7. They are already loosening up a bit in just acouple days. Please don't think they are too tight though. The fit is better than other non-VS hats I own.

Obviously you must be a selfconformist????

 

[Not-Bogart13]

Thanks Handlebar! I was tempted to try for a LO one size down from my usual because I'm sort of between sizes on mass produced hats. I'll know not to do that, now.

You're welcome Bogart.
