Vintage Stetson Whippet size 7 1/2

[tommyK]

Just in case my trigger finger gets itchy once it is listed, how would you describe the colour? On my monitor it looks like a lighter brown/dark tan. Is that close to reality?

To me it's a light brown or tan. Some might call it taupe.

Wow, I'm really now interested to see how this goes on eBay! I just like to wear hats and am not a collector, shocked to see a stetson go for those kind of prices! Looking forward to it!

Me too! If it was flawless and a bigger brim (most Whippets I've seen are 2 5/8 or 2 3/4 brims) it might fetch those crazy prices. I think the 2 1/2 brim hurts it's value. Of course I also have a near flawless Whippet with a bigger brim that may go after this one!

and to think I had a pair of Whippets in 3/8LO...traded them for some beans...(not really beans,
but did trade the pair for something pretty cool) can't swallow the price on the Bay last week, proves
money is no object for some folks;

I will give you Double, yes Double, the original price tag on the hat!

If I had a time machine I'd go back and by dozens of these, different colors and all 7 1/2 and 7 5/8's!

Now an active ebay listing;

The Lounge "buy it now" of $500 is no longer available. I've listed it with a low starting bid so it could go for less, who knows?

If past is prologue there might be a couple of bids over the next few days but 15 in the last nano-second!

 

[FedOregon]

This is most assuredly my only bid, but it's in!

I'd just go back to 2003 when we were a small forum, and buy these up at $20.

I'm seeing this with links from other members as well. Is it a forum thing?

Weird, I click on it and it goes right there. I was careful to sign out first before copying the link so as not to get you guys hung up in my personal ebay stuff

Yes, I do not know what is going on. BOTH of my laptops AND my Tablet take me to the VigLink shopping.... As part of the puzzle, I am using Firefox on all three devices. MAY have something to do with it. I know looking at the link id does NOT look like the page I get when I look at your listings ( I had to do a E-Bay search to find them)....

I'm using I/E 11 on my work laptop. Safari on my phone has no issue.

I feel sorry for you and happy for me! I'm still not out of the red on this one so I hope it goes higher. It sells no matter what!

 

[Tonio]

Looks like you ended up ok!

 

[tommyK]

I'd crow about my ability to value vintage hats but I took a bath on the Stetson Derby I was selling!
