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

Seems kind of high to me, but I guess it depends on how badly you want a black homburg . . .

They do a very good job with their hat advertisments. Lots of pics, descriptions, selling the sizzle.....

The Ford Pinto, Chevy Vega and the AMC Grimlin were sold the same way lol

 

[jbucklin]

That's insane.

Did you guys see the Stetson Temple for $300+? I just sold one for $40.

Prices are wild right now. All over the board.

How do they come up with those figures?

 

[alanfgag]

Hats from Buffalo are hot... Maybe?

Here is another one that seems high to me.

I was an underbidder on this rather special looking Portis, which, according to the seller, is marked "beaver." Did a lounger win it? Alan . . . Josh . . . ?

Not me. I REALLY wanted that one, but missed the auction all together. I hope the winner posts pics on the lounge if he is a member.

Good decision by Josh to post the Flagship on eBay.

Nice deal for the buyer on the Marathon though.

I can't believe my Flagship went as high as it did, and I also can't believe that the Marathon went as low as it did. That Marathon is really a heck of a hat. More than anything, I hope the buyers love their "new" hats.

Yes, indeed. I guess it's all good in a universe of averages.

Can anyone tell me what would be a fair price for this Homburg (see link below)? The seller seems new to hats and does not seem to understand that a vintage Homburg is not going to get the kind of money a vintage fedora, i.e. Stetson or Borso, would get.

I keep looking at this:

The seller has just relisted it at the same price. But no one seems interested. Is that price just flat out over the top?

Both were nice hats Josh. If I weren't on a hat hiatus I might have gone for one of those.

Just won this one today. I was prepared to spend upwards of 150 for it but I snagged it for 50 bucks! Yay me!

Congrats! :yo:

Thanks Zetwal! Here are two more that I won recently, I will try to post a pic of me wearing them:

How do I get a genuine 1920s cloche for 52 bucks? Were the hatmeisters asleep at the wheel when this was listed?

This was another one that I got for a reasonable price. It looks brand new in person:

Congratulations on your new finds. i do wish that more women wore hats. As good as hats look on men, they look better on women.

Yes, it would be good if hats came back, but then again, I'm enjoying the reduced competition for these last remaining gems from the golden era.

Excellent purchases all around. Women's hats are remarkable in their diversity and creativity. I find them fascinating. I look forward to more pictures as they are made ready.
