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

[Gilgamark]

Thanks for the info. BTW, my wife agrees with you all: the ribbon should stay. Of course, that means it's stayin'. :whip:

Gilgamark,

nice stetson...I would leave the hat alone and just brush it out good with a hat brush....

I, too, would leave that alone. Beautiful hat:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Looks like I lost this election in a landslide. In fact, I'm the only one that would even consider changing this hat. Everyone else voted "No change."

So, it's had a good brushing and it's on my head. I'll clean the lining this weekend.

Thanks, all.

What Gives?

Why did this Stetson bring the final price?

It's a stratoliner. People buy the name.

 

[carouselvic]

It is a Strat but a 7 1/8 size, I'd rather be on the selling end of that deal. A very fine hat tho either way.

Yes, we do! :eusa_doh:

I think it's a bit unusual for a 7 1/8 to go that high, though. (I could be wrong, of course!)

Cheers,
Tom

Dread to think what it might have brought if 'stratoliner' had been in the item listing title so that people could actually have found it...

So when's the recession going to kick in so I can actually afford to bid on hats again...? lol

Does it seem like hat prices are going up, as stocks go down?

I think it's more like all the good ones are all ending up in a finite set of collections!

Perhaps the general populous is preparing for a dress rehearsal of The Great Depression II. There were so many fine hats during the first one!

I considered bidding until I saw the $27+ that the seller wanted for shipping.

Did the seller revise the shipping? I see $8.15.

I won the Stetson Premier Panama Hat that is on page 128 of this thread. Does anyone know the difference between the Medalist model shown above and the premier model? Is it the style or perhaps the weave count maybe? The Premier that I won seems to have a slightly larger brim.

 

[Lefty]

I don't think that anyone has posted anything that shows the quality distinction between medalist and premier.

Here're another 7 1/8 Stratoliner

and here's a nice Washer Bros. sold Playboy in 7 1/4 long oval

 

[Lefty]

You want Stetson stock?
We've got 500 shares here and 800 shares here. Both auctions were won with one bid, by the same buyer.

That Stratoliner is mine. I can't wait to get it. Now I just have to find a pin for it.
