Vagabond Kings are rare, aren't they?

Oh boy!!Just bought this one. I waited until the last 15 seconds, wanted to bid 365, pressed 0 instead of send, and mistakenly bid $3650 dollars. It went for almost $900.
At first I thought I'd sent the mistaken bid too late and lost. When I saw what it went for, I was relieved I hadn't won, because I got a notice saying I had lost, but then got a notice saying I had won it! Now I have mixed feelings about the whole thing, but I paid for it already.[emoji51]

The seller - with his several additions and addendums - clearly states that he is withdrawing the 7 3/4 sizing statement - so going with "I bid on it because it was a 7 3/4" probably won't fly with eBay folks.
Your best case will be to go with the truth of your bidding error - adding an inadvertent 0 when all you wanted to bid was $365. That is more believable.
That would leave the winning bid at about $375 as someone else bid $888 to beat your $365 bid.
Still a very good outcome for the seller I think because this fedora looks to be 90's/2000 era hat. Very average quality felt - lower crown at probably 4 inches - and a very tapered crown - pointing to a very recent production style. It is not a $375 hat. I would say it is a sub $100 fedora.
Yeah, I know. Thing is, it was my mistake, not his. I was hasty and careless. And I hate going back on my word. I will forget the 800 dollar difference in a month, but begging out of a bid will stay a lot longer. This will teach me to be more careful, dammit!

Well, that makes me feel a little better. A lot, actually. [emoji2]I don’t think Knox made the Vagabond King during the times you referenced. It looks to be decades older than your estimate.

Mid-50s, easy.

What size do you think it is?

I am sure you guys are right about dating. Maybe it's the poor pictures, but this particular Vagabond King doesn't look like it has aged very well. It just doesn't look to have that tall straight crown of the era.
All's well that ends well, Max. I have some nice hats that would actually fit you, to spend the rest of the money onHey, good news! The seller, Ryan, emailed me asking if I was OK with the size, and I told him the whole story, and also said I wouldn't really be able to wear it.
He said he understood, and that he would see what the next offer was, and asked if I would be OK with paying $300 for the hat.
I said of course, and that he is a very decent person, and he is.
I hope everything turns out, but in the meantime, I am very relieved. [emoji18]

Afterwards I emailed Ryan, and told him I should pay the $365 I intended to bid, and not the $300 he asked me if I was willing to pay. He hasn't replied.Hey, good news!
