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

[Salty O'Rourke]

Yep Craig, I'm more of a $20 hat man myself.

I dunno who the other Ephraim is but good luck to him.

And I'll take your congratulations anyway!

You mean you don't have a second home in Denver, and didn't spell "color" instead of colour just to further confuse us? lol lol lol

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

It' fun to walk around in a zillion dollar hat! lol

lol lol lol lol lol

At these prices Craig, they've become the hat of choice for lunatics.

Old ones

No Salty, I gotta confess 'taint I.

Mind you I do have a couple of friends in Denver. I should visit.

And while I'm happily blaspheming, I see the Flagshit in its original Flagshit box has crossed the $80 mark.

I wouldn't be surprised if that one soared into the Shitosphere.

I am very amused by all of the perfectly good non-Stetson hats being called "Stetson Style" or "Mallory Stetson Hat" or things like that, on account of the ridiculous prices that Stetsons have been commanding. It makes it a bit confusing to sift through.

My only hope in all this is that Ebay will be flooded with peoples hats that they want to make a quick buck on, and a Stetson Playboy, or some other fun hat, will be missed by those with big bucks, and slip into my hands.

Holly ship, that's a great flagshit!

Ah... for some reason I thought I remembered reading here that you and that particular seller (who has sold a number of hats) were the same guy. Guess I remembered wrong! :eusa_doh:

Cheers,

Wow, Garrett - that's a rare find. Looks like a beautiful hat - if you get that pin off... :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

No suh! I'm a hat black-hole. Once they're in my grizzly grasp they're here to stay.
MWAHAHAHAHA!

You and me both!!! (I keep intending to spruce some hats up and toss them in the bay, but never quite get around to it!) lol

P. & C. Habig Melone (Bowler) + Case

I won this P. & C. Habig Melone (Bowler) + Case. It also has a Habig hat holder which is very cool. It looks to be in fine condition just very dusty.

Mayser Fedora & a Mayser Panama

Also picked up a Mayser Fedora & a Mayser Panama. Both size 59cm.

I am thinking this one is late 50s early 60s but it has an earlier look (Homburg - Fedora Hybrid). I got it for about $20.00 including shipping.

This Panama is a bit of a mystery but I have a good feeling about it. I am thinking early 60s.

Finally got a full refund from the seller on the last day they had to respond before eBay automatically ruled in my favor. And I got to keep the remnants of the hat.

Bubble wrap and plastic garbage bag material wrapped around an antique straw boater and shipped overseas is a recipe for disaster. EBay's reviewing my case now. I emailed them the photos, so I think I have a pretty solid case.

I nominate the seller for eBay Cretin of the Month.
