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

Thanks for your kind comments, gentlemen. I'm tickled silly about this hat.

I'd be tickled too!

It's a 7 1/8. Hope that will be a relief ;-)

Not sure how I missed that one. I'd have gone for it big time (yep, my size too!). Congrats, a wonderful find!

Demon Hanover by Hoyt Hats.

Hope I did OK with this ads it cost me $100. Too much, really, but… well, it seemed rare to me.

I was very close to placing a bid but then I was so busy shelling out money for other things that I chickened out.

It went for 16,50 EURO which is beyond a steal. From what I can tell it appears to be in very good condition too.

I was very tempted on that one, HE, especially with the liner and all. Problem is, I have quite a few OR type hats as is, and I thought this one might go for a high price. Congrats!

By the way, you can include that one in the "other" OR hats thread.

And my personal favorite, a vintage Paragon wide-brim fedora

Aw, man! I forgot to set my sniper for that one! :eusa_doh:

 

[Neophyte]

lol I missed out on it because I was playing a videogame at the time. The winner outbid me by only $4. I would've had it if I'd been paying attention.

Another western won. This time from American Hat Co. The listing mentioned something about "clear beaver" but I'm not optimistic. It looks like it needs just a bit of cleaning (those seeming blotches on the sweatband were apparently dust; wiped right off when I asked the seller about it).

On the DEFEAT side, however, I missed out on this Caxton western. Look at the SIZE of that sweatband!!! It was nowhere near my size, but the great condition, bolo, giant sweatband and brand name would've made it a nice collector's piece...oh well.

That Caxton is pretty interesting... looks like an experiment with sweatband growth hormone went awry.

Everybody loves a grab bag.

Yeah, no kidding. I would've bid quite high had it been my size. A sweatband that big...must be sooo comfortable.

 

[HatsEnough]

Thanks for the info Monbla and Rick. I will put this in my hat database.

 

[HatsEnough]

By the way Rick. Do you have one of these, too? How many Loungers have a Demon Hanover?

This one is just too cool!
It needs a thread of its own.
If you do start one I may move a few of the post that tell more of the Demons info.
Once again sweet hat and I believe you did well.

 

[HatsEnough]

Thanks for starting the new thread, RBH. I'll add another entry once it gets to me.

Now, what made this nice Stetson get to $157.51 I wonder?

It is a very nice hat. Smallish at 7-1/8. Not a Whippet but a "Vogue." Great color, too.

I'd say it looks more 40s 50s instead of 30s 40s era, though. It looks like a leaf in the liner logo. But if it is stars, I could be wrong.

It is a beauty, but I thought it went for a fairly high price.

Anybody got an idea? Is the "Vogue" a really rare model? (I have no idea so I'd like to know)

 

[Dinerman]

Good color, rare model, nicer styling than a whippet, reputable seller, good pictures.

My size, fabulous big brim, great condition, I saw it here in the Classifieds when it was first listed on eBay, been watching it. Had every intention of bidding, but the other day noticed it had already gone beyond what I was prepared to pay (not that it wasn't worth every dime, but I've been hitting the bank account a bit too frequently on eBay lately, and needed a bit of breathing room- there are a few coming to me not yet mentioned in this thread). Great hat for whoever won it, and I do think the price was reasonable.

 

[DJH]

From the way the bids were coming in for the Vogue, I was expecting it to sell for more. The price hardly changed on the last day.

I didn't join in myself, but I thought the buyer ended up with an exceptional hat at a pretty fair price.

 

[HatsEnough]

OK, I'm glad you guys like the price. I was watching it, but when it got over $150 I dropped the idea of bidding as I bought too many hats this month already.

I guess the price just sort of shocked me that it got so high so early. It stood at that $150 some mark for days.

Glad to know it was still a good buy.
