    HE, I didn't see the clock the first time around; what was the original minimum bid?

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

    Because it's a BIN, it's been up for a while, the asking price is high enough that I doubt anyone here is going to buy it (and if they were, it would have been bought already) and because I thought it might be of interest to some. I obviously missed that thread when it came around. Cheers, Tom

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

    Might have been for me, but I was runner-up. Had a much higher snipe set, but killed it and did a regular bid as there's something else not hat-related I want to purchase this week. I figured the chances of my winning it at the lower bid were 50-50. This is live, but it's a relist of a BIN for...

    Data Base errors bad today.

    Yesterday the web page favicon for the site changed to the favicon for the BBC. Most likely a glitch on my own computer, I know, but I'm mildly amused. Or at least amused enough to not yet bother fixing it. :p Cheers, Tom

    Any Info on This Odd Knox Low Topper?

    But that's a heck of a ribbon/bow treatment on yours, HE! Lefty, thanks for posting the link to that old thread. Sadly, the phone number I found for the store my (wife's) hat came from is not in service. I've found two addresses for it with the one phone number. I'm not sure when they went out...

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    I used to live fairly close to there, on E 6th street, in the late '70s. I always wondered what it was like inside. Cheers, Tom

    How's Your Summer Going?

    Congratulations, Dan! My wife found work a couple of months ago, actually working for the same company as I. She was out for six months and the regular unemployment had just ended. Summer here has been very hot and humid, no fun at all. A/C in the car has trouble keeping up, and I often spend...

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

    Congratulatons! I was a watcher on it. I asked the seller a question about it on the color, since the photos of the top side of the hat appeared off-white in my monitor with grey on the underside. Usually the photos of the inside of the hat that include the underside of the brim are the most...

    Woman is 101 years old, still drives 81 year old Packard

    I received an e-mail with the link to this video about a woman in Plymouth, MI who at 101 still drives her Packard 740 Roadster. My favorite line at the end is her answer to the question "Have you lived in Plymouth all your life?" There's an article about her as well. Enjoy! Tom

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

    If you're talking about the original price of a hat, then yes, the price listed would be an indicator of the quality of a hat in relation to the other hats in a hat company's lineup. I agree that for myself and many here most current production hats are not "worth" the prices they sell for...

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

    Didn't say they are (assuming you are referring to intrinsic value as it relates philosophically) but you were the one that tied money to it by asking if a hat was worth the $40 you paid and by saying that even if you were happy with a hat, paying $400 would be a foolish buy. You also said...

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

    Actually, I believe that any hat (or anything else, for that matter) at any particular point in time is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it at that particular point of time, no more, no less. Along those lines I used to think that meant that the winning bid at the end of the...

    Dang, I missed that thread! I'll see about photographing and posting both when the second one arrives. Cheers, Tom

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

    I snagged that one; makes my second Turf Club, I believe. Came across my first one again last week while working on improving my hat storage situation--trying to get it to where I can actually get access to my hats easily!

    Ask a question, get an answer

    And you can get the boxes from USPS for free! You can even order them online from the USPS web site and they'll send them to you in bulk. The box suggested may seem a little small, but it's the one that most of the hats I've bought have shown up in unless a hat box was included in the deal. The...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I don't know about kids four or five years younger than you, but I do know that when I take a photograph of a young child with a film camera it baffles them to not find a picture when they run over and try to look at the back of your camera to see themselves! lol It's not easy getting them to...

    Fedorafest III Stratoliner from Stetson

    I've just subscribed to this thread so I won't miss the announcement that the hats are available. :D I own a few hats, but as these days I tend to grab the silverbelly Lee Stratoliner clone when heading out the door for work. As an IT technician I tend to dress casually for work (jeans...
