Is that a black or black cherry?

This one is black. I'd love a black cherry one though.

So these guys are buying the current rabbit felt hats Art is making and then trying to resell them at a profit, is this correct?

I wouldn't put it past them (or anyone, honestly). That's the way a lot of this stuff works on auction sites. If you find something you think is undervalued, buy and resell.

I don't think anyone here trusts the seller (or the grandfather!) but another VS has appeared, in a small size this time

At $210 I thought about buying it for my wife, but I haven't convinced her to wear felt fedoras yet....

But when you do, she could start at the top of the mountain!

Good point - fine you talked me into it - I wanted the old school box anyway - much as I hate to support this dude’s shady business practices.

The box alone, may be worth it. I have one too and it's a great piece.

And sold! To the man who wants the box (and loves his wife).

Thank you for keeping this alive Jeff, I wasn't aware of the ebay shenaningans. All I can do is advise everyone to be aware. I don't intend to raise prices to meet the market, I'm having fun and am OK the way things are but, I am running out of felts so I don't know what will happen after that. I DID make one recently away from ebay that was returned so I will be putting it up for sale here. The client wanted a bigger brim than I could provide, such is life.
