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

[DJH]

$995 starting bid and he has the cheek to charge for shipping as well

I bet there are no bids!

 

[hatophile]

Surely he meant $9.95?

 

[Iyor]

Surely he meant $9.95?

No. It started at 140, he then raised to 850, and then to 995.

 

[Landman]

No. It started at 140, he then raised to 850, and then to 995.

Incredible. If it didn't sell at $140.00 why would they think it would sell at $995.00?

 

[DJH]

Well it is a Whippet!

 

[Rudie]

But ... it's a Whippet, and in a large size! It's surely worth it! It must be! :rofl:

 

[Iyor]

Incredible. If it didn't sell at $140.00 why would they think it would sell at $995.00?

Its not a relist. He just keeps raising yhe opening bid.

 

[hatophile]

Anyone for $5000 for this nice large-sized Whippet?

 

[DJH]

A couple I was watching ended today:

Nice Dobbs sold for more than I was expecting.

Zetwal's super 30's Playboy. I wouldn't have been at all surprised to see this one sell for more - a fantastic hat!

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

Whippet , Whippet, Good. To the tune of Devo's whip it.

 

[bowlerman]

Maybe the top 1% who have nothing better to do will drop a grand on that Whippet. It's a really nice style, but c'mon, that's a little predatory.

I'm shocked this didn't go way higher. Hopefully the blurry pictures weren't purposeful, hiding a bunch of issues. Cynical of me, I know. Better pics when it arrives.

I was watching that one too Randall. I'm pretty sure the box is not original to the hat though, it's not a folding borsy as evidence by the corrugated sweatband. Hopefully it's a nice hat though.

 

[randooch]

Yes, I wondered about that, but didn't mind, as those boxes are pretty cool (and sellable). Hopefully the seller won't cram it the box to ship. :eeek:

 

[Chepstow]

Mike, you could be right! But Randall, it's definitely a wonderful Hat! Congrats from me!

 

[Grizzly Adams]

cRaZy wIpPet prices continue
Not digging the discoloration above the ribbon and for that money they can lock me up if I bought it.

I'm guessing that the map to the treasure of the Sierra Madre is sewn into the lining.

 

[alanfgag]

The hat shows all the characteristics of a Borso packaged in a box and kept there for many years. I'm sure it is original and also sure it is not meant to be a "rollable." Great catch and a great price!

 

[Iyor]

Great catch Randall, a steal at that price. I think Alan is right though, those boxes were meant for packing to your destination. If I recall correctly I have only seen them paired with hats bought in Europe.

 

[Rick Blaine]

looks like a winner.
