[LoveMyHats2]

Wow, the hat fetched a nice price for you...

 

[randooch]

Yes, but not as high as I thought it would go.

Josh, were you surprised either way?

 

[Joshbru3]

Thanks everyone for looking at my auction! I thought it would go a bit higher as well, but that's completely fine with me. If you had to buy this fine of a weave from Optimo, it would cost a pretty penny. When I post something on ebay, I always let the market go to work. Thats why I always post my hats at $9.99 to start. If the market wants the hat, the price will go high, if there is little interest, the price will stay low. I'm always very appreciative when my hats sell to other owners, no matter how much is paid. I love to see these larger hats go to people who can wear them, because when I put them on, the hat sinks past my ears. LOL.
