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

[mayserwegener]

We're having a leadership retreat at work next Friday and the theme is Oktoberfest. So I "needed" a trachten. I put out the word in the Classifieds, but with the short timeframe I had no luck. (Thanks, for looking for me, Dreispitz.) Found this on eBay, though:

It looks as if it will serve the purpose. Ah, rationalization ........

Nice find. I have a couple Lemberts. The company is out of Augsburg and goes back to 1861. They are still in business although only wholesale and special orders.

I was fortunate enough to win that pristine beauty. It is my first Borso, I think it will be a good one. I hope I didn't steal it from you J.T. You and your collection have been an inspiration to me.

Lots of beautiful, small hats going for big bucks, but who got the killer box?

Rumor has it that it was some short sailor who is dry docked in Kansas. I can neither confirm or deny.

You got a super hat, and I'm delighted for you. It could be a great investment, too. Prices are climbing fast on those pristine vintage Borsalinos. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Stetson 3X Beaver

Anyone here snatched this pristine beauty? Had it been my size, I'd have gone for it for sure. What a beauty - and at such an incredible price, too!

Wow. That box is incredible!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

That would be me. That was exactly my max bid--and without a sniper, either! I figured it would be sniped in the last five minutes, but it wasn't. That's what happens when I'm sitting in a hotel room killing time. I really, really need to step away from the Bay...

 

[Tango Yankee]

It could be a great investment, too.

It's only an investment if he's willing to sell it for the profit... and I'm betting he won't want to! It looks to be a fine, fine hat! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Cheers,
Tom

PS Of course, that doesn't stop him from using the investment angle to rationalize buying it if he needs to! lol

Still waiting for a certain Marathon.... If it doesn't show tomorrow I'm going on a hunting trip!:rage:

I was a loser on that one. What a great lid. I think $178 wasn't a bad deal.

Nice snag, Tom. Very sharp looking lid. I'm swearing off the bay too. We'll see for how long.

AND HOW!! A beaut indeed. I have got to get me one of those small heads.

I am very happy tonight, having just won my first Whippet off e-bay. I hope it is as mint as it is advertised. I'll know soon enough I suppose...

[cptjeff]

I was wondering if somebody here would grab that...

Nice, Mr. P. Congrats! It sure looks good. I'm up to five Whippets, or is it six, and am now swearing off e-bay. We'll see for how long. You'll like the lid. I wear mine a lot, especially the gray ones.

You got a fantastic hat Tango Yankee. It is going to look great. Congrats:eusa_clap
