Is it just that I'm bad at looking or is the bay a desert right now?

Very nice , Max. Didn't know they even did westerns.

I think it just depends on what you're looking for at the moment. I have about a dozen listings that I'm watching, but I think I'm casting a wider net than you. Some are more just curiosity to see what the final selling price will be because I'm not willing to splash the amount of cash I know it will take to win.

That being said, I've also gone through dry spells as well. I had one a month or two ago and almost posted the same thing you did. The good news is that after a dry spot I tend to hit a hot streak. (Well, maybe not so good for the wallet.) Just ride it out and things will improve.

Alternatively, you could diversify and expand into leather jackets. I came to the Lounge for hats and now five leather jackets later...

Tell yourself you are NOT gonna buy any hats...especially X Y and Z.
They will come.
It’s eBay magic!

I watch for entertainment value, as well.

Wow! I need to get my "whipped-it" up there!

This is a 7-3/8 @TheOldFashioned ... maybe we can work a trade.

WOW! May be time to sell your vintage Stetsonian, Jim.

True, true. And when fishing, think and say to yourself "fish aren't biting today. Better leave now." Works like a charm.

On the contrary, I've found some hats I've been wanting for a long time, and I've even found some jewels I didn't even know existed. All after promising I would only buy such hats for now on.

Leather jackets? Leather jackets? We don't need no steeenkin' leather jackets!

Used to be people kept such treachery private.

I'm watching a few just to see what the final bids are. But I'm also waiting for an Akubra Stylemaster or Adventurer in Moonstone size 59.

^^^^Nothing on earth like the smell of fine felt and good leather in the morning!
All day too!

Nope. That's one of my prized possessions, TYVM (and since you sold it to me, I really mean TYVM).

I was thinking of tossing an old dishrag up and calling it a Whippet to see what it fetches.

I suppose it’s somewhat being a fairly new collector, the past few months had me looking through older listings as well. Now I’m ‘caught up’ so I know I can just look at what’s newly listed. Also there really does not seem to be much in my size at the moment. Not something that I’m concerned about was just an observation. I have much faith the beautiful lids will return. Besides I have been busy planning my Gannon custom [emoji846]

Was I mistaken? I thought it had a couple days left.
