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

I thought that might have been your doing. I'm sure it will pop-up here at some point.

That's a beauty. I have one, also 7 1/8 - the only way I can wear it is by bringing the crown down, but it's worth it.

I've been watching this hat for a few days and I wonder if it wold be a good first hat. It is the right size and I really like the color. What is your opinion?

If you like the looks of it, then it's the right hat. The price is right. An attractive one, I like the proportions of crown and brim. Go for it. When you see something you like, especially as a beginner, in whatever kind of clothing, you have to buy it when you see it, or you may regret it.

From $15 to $126 in two weeks. This hat certainly appreciates quickly.

not mine
Yet another Stetson model I've never seen - in an ad or as a hat. Take out the pins and it's a winner.
HatCo sued Stetson over the name, claiming that a Railbird was identical to the Dobbs Gamebird. Stetson won.

Looks like those pins had negative value

It sure was. That was going to be mine, and of course got sniped by two people at the last minute. The first one didn't get me, but the second did. :rage::rant::mad2:

Here's another ephemeral gem. (oxymoronic nostalgia? Doesn't Stetson own that market?)

So...which one of you is drivin' up the price of that Blue-grey 7 1/2 Whippet?

 

[delectans]

You mean that 7-1/2, right? Not me. Nice hat, hope a lounger got it so we can see some better photos.

 

[Neophyte]

Yeah. I finally found some nice hats in 59cm and 60cm, but I am pessimistic about my chances against the more...proactive members of the Lounge lol.

 

[delectans]

Chin up, Alexander my good man, it will make that first vintage lid you score for a reasonable outlay that much sweeter. There are still occasional BIN listings for nice hats, so keep your eyes peeled.

 

[Neophyte]

Thanks for the encouragement .

LOL. Don't feel bad. Im honestly not mad at all. Im glad a fellow lounger got it. Is all part of the "hat game." Ive gotten so many hats this past month, I needed to loose this one. Please post lots of pics when you get it!!!

Somehow I missed seeing that one. Congratulations to the winner!

This is an interesting looking hat: size 7-1/8 fairly old Stetson.

I bought this lot for the poorly described brown Stetson. It looks to be in nice shape and looks like it might be oldish 3X beaver in the style of a Whippet. Anyone want the porkpie or the top hat?

The brown one does look nice.

Yeah it's definitely tougher for heads our size and a smaller budget size. I have managed to pick up some nice BINs, as Al has mentioned. I recently saw a whippet styled Courtney BIN for a decent price, I hope a lounger got it!
