    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Any of you ever bought something on Ebay without knowing what it is? I don't know why I did but I did. Your guess is as good as mine...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    That one was a steal if the buyer gets his size.

    Modern Whippet...

    I have two of them. I can't say about holding up because I've only had them for about 1/2 year. I prefer them to any "vintage" hat I've ever had.

    Stetson Ambassador?

    I really like the way the brim looks in the ad - way better than snapping it down. That is a super looking fedora.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    It isn't accurate. It is unfair and bad business. Ebay has a system for marking down the reputation. I would give a big fat 1 for shipping charge along with the negateive feedback.

    hatless :(

    No but you can search the web just like I did. These might or might not be of interest. http://minneapolis-mn.yellowusa.com/Hats_Retail.html

    Assuming UPS charges the same amount in either direction, that would be an option. I'm a UPS shipper. I could ship a hat box to Canada by ground for about $15 or so - at least to the major cities. Canadians hate UPS in their direction because of the brokerage fees. I don't believe those...

    hatless :(

    I wasn't even aware of them. They look great. I'll order one later today.

    hatless :(

    Yes, plenty of elitism here. Panama Bob has Panama hats for $40. The Stetson pictured below was $35 new on Ebay. While I can afford a fine Montecristi if I want one, I don't want one. In the first place, straw hats don't last forever. In the second place, I love hats but I prefer to spend...

    Canvas Cavalcade or King Cotton

    I have some cotton caps but the only fabric brimmed hat I have is this Tilley: I got it for christmas and I use just like you use yours except my lawn mower is a John Deere.

    Adventurebilt hats - anyone ordered from?

    He didn't get an opportunity to decide whether or not he wanted to wait three years when he placed the order. The decision to wait three years was not his. The decision to continue waiting now is his choice. I made the point earlier about the man who waited 10 years for his flute. He knew...

    Adventurebilt hats - anyone ordered from?

    As I said earlier, that advice dealt with posting about competitors. If everyone followed that advice, you wouldn't have a forum here. Everyone would be silent. ;)

    Adventurebilt hats - anyone ordered from?

    Not so. The individual who has been waiting 3 years didn't get a refund and hasn't chosen to wait all that time for his product. Those are the facts around which I have made my argument. If someone has made that choice conscientionsly, let him join in on the support side of the argument...

    Very nice stuff, Alan. You have terrific taste in hats.

    Adventurebilt hats - anyone ordered from?

    I disagree. What Bendingoak is doing is defending bad business on the part of his friend. He is trying to make his friend into a victim rather than into someone who made a poor business decision. To explain the situation in order to ameliorate any backlash his friend might experience is...

    Adventurebilt hats - anyone ordered from?

    I think some advice is also warranted here in case this happens to you. What your friend should have done is communicate with the customers. He should have explained that he was flooded with orders and it would take him more than 3 years to complete them. He should have offered a refund to...
