For those of you who want a bowler in size 7 1/2.. If I could justify using 300 bucks on a bowler, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Big price is right. Interesting.

Sadly, it is not a Long Oval. Even if it were, I would think the price too dear by about 100%.

Yikes. I'm not sure I could ever justify 300 smackers on a vintage bowler. Maybe a custom one-- a magic one. Then again my bargain basket bowlers almost always have some kind of flaw, large or small, except for the 1928 Kauffmann.

Came in second on that mainly due to my wife wanting to hang Christmas deco.
A well order a Mr. Freedom CASQUETTE “LA DEFFE” instead for Christmas present for she who must be obeyed.

I had just made my first sale on Ebay. Based on other advise, I started the bid price at a minimum acceptable amount to me, then put in a BIN price at what I would like to get. Apparently I put too low a price as the hat was BIN'd about 2 hours after I posted it. Even though I could have gotten quite a bit more for the hat (based on advice from someone on this board) I didn't know it then, so I consider it an "educational experience" and STILL got more for it than it originally cost.

Sell quickly, make a little money, and move on. Sounds like a very positive experience.

Congrats on your first eBay sale ... :yo:

1950's Royal Stetson grade Panama proves that straws can get good money out of season.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...:SS:US:1123&autorefresh=true&autorefresh=true

It's a pretty nice panama maybe not perfect condition by any means though certainly very near new as can probably be found...I sure hope it is worth it to the buyer though. I bet the seller is thrilled!

Couldn't resist another . . .

. . . Resistol: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160686073254

The seller isn't sure it is wool felt, and from what I've read here, a Resistol Pacesetter was not an inexpensive or cheaply made hat. Its size of 6 7/8 deterred me for a bit. When I asked, the seller said the interior circumference was 21.5 inches, and I run about 21.75, so I may have to do some stretching. Then again, a hat interior isn't always easy to measure; and while my recent Royal Stetson was tagged at 6 7/8, it turned out I needed to pad it very slightly for a good fit.

For 19.95 + shipping, and with a 7-day return policy, I guess it was worth a try!

Big price is right. Interesting.

Let's hope it's a trend, and not one-time quirk. Crossing my fingers, I'll be selling a bunch of my 1920s-'30s caps on eBay tomorrow.

$293.00..........+ shipping!

As we often see, two bidders both want something pretty badly and up goes the price.
Either could have bought the hat for a shade over $150 if the other wasn't playing.
Very nice hat though!

This belongs in the Ebay thread.

Yesterday I won this noname hat from 1940. Looks quite crumpled.

the Stetson medal that no one wanted last week

 

[alanfgag]

Seems a little feather can dampen enthusiasm on a couple of nice Borsalinos. The shipping cost might have been a factor too?

 

[Yeps]

This one looked great, shame I couldn't get it.

Wow that is a wonderful. Did anyone here get it?
