That band looks like it weighs a lot! Nice hat & good bargain. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_claprlk said:
I think that is an automatic maximum bid. You can set your max and ebay will keep bidding in increments until you reach your set max.Cracker said:I just missed out on an Adams, will have to file that under "defeats." But I've got a question about bidding on ebay which I hope someone can answer. I posted a bid just before time ran out, and I was immediately outbid. I rebid, and was outbid again and the auction ended. No big deal. But then I notice that the winning bid had been placed two days ago, but didn't appear anywhere in the bid history except as the last second winning bid. How could that happen?

I put my maximum bid amount in I was willing to pay (more than x3 the price I actually paid). I never use sniping software, as I'm willing to pay what I'm willing to pay. Then as long as it's above what someone else is willing to pay I win.
When you place a maximum bid, ebay only puts enough of that value to make you the leader. If somebody else bids higher than that amount but less than your maximum, ebay automatically rebids for you. You didn't have to do anything. Bid history only shows the bids that get a buyer to "take the lead" so to speak. Make sense?Cracker said:Congrats, Billy, that is a fine looking fedora. But I guess I'm still not getting it, because I don't understand how one can place a bid (or a maximum bid) without that bid showing up in the bid history until the auction is over.
I'm not aware of sniping software, either. I'm such a noob. :eusa_doh:

Buler: I musta had my "stupid" drink this morning, i don't get "rockabilly" it's been thrown around a few times around here, but I am just missing the point...
buler said:Rob, I was just referring to an auction title that contained "rockabilly". Its one of those tag words people add to the auction, like gangsta, zoot suit, etc. when selling fedoras/hats.

It needs a little bit of TLC, but I think it will turn out OK.

The seller states it's from the 50's, but it looks late 30's/early 40's to me.
