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

What hat?

I was thrown off by them advertising a GTO cap with a Firebird.

No sale. Too much information, perhaps.

Proof positive that one size does not fit all.

This was a nice score I received today. A little surprised no one else bid against me... VERY nice hat. Will try to post some pics this weekend.

Under Item Specifics it said 7 1/8, and no other measurements are provided, such as brim width. No pictures of the interior, either? Sounds like you got lucky.

Anyone know how to turn off Ebay's recommendations? They seem to be new listings related to previously-viewed items.
After viewing Alan's "too much information" link, I got a series of *****s with hats showing up when I opened Ebay.

Who's Allen?

Sorry - I wasn't paying attention to spelling. fixed it.

 

[alanfgag]

I'm sorry to have caused you this grief. I deserve the misspelling.

 

[dnjan]

You didn't cause the grief - Ebay caused it after I clicked on your link.

So - any ideas how to disable this feature in Ebay? At least Amazon lets one turn off recommendations.

Amazing how targeted advertising is these days. Somehow, ads that appear on my iPad have magically morphed from French to Spanish ever since I crossed the border. Kinda spooky.

I love the Alan as a child avatar. It looks like you are looking up some adult's hat and thinking, "I'll own one just like that one day".

Thanks... I like it too. The picture was taken in front of our apartment building in the mid 1950s. The cap was added at a later time.

NO! Say it ain't so, Alan... I am devastated by the notion (now) that it wasn't original. I have always been impressed, mind you, about how perfectly well the beanie fits now, and THEN. I KNEW (or always thought) your l'il keppie had to have grown since then, but never considered such Photoshop chicanery. Thanks for "coming clean" on this.

Here's a style I don't have, yet could see wearing...

old Whippet, old Special, unfortunate sweats on great hats

congrats to the buyer who talked the seller into a nice BIN on this Royal-Stetson-Deluxe-Hat-Vita-Felt-in-Box-Size-3-8-

 

[splintercellsz]

The special & whippet were mine. I am still irked at the single bidder, when it had over 35 watchers. Safe to say I gave those away, but I guess that is what happens when you listen to others, and lot them, instead of listing individually. Just wanted to keep the same store thing going... oh well.

All it takes to lay a golden egg is a horse's ***.
