Vintage 1920s/1930s Newsboy Caps for Sale

[Johnny J]

Here is the 3rd cap for sale:

Lightweight cotton black and white gingham cap. Has a fabric sweatband and this cap is between 7 1/8 to 7 1/4.
Top Width: 10 1/2"
Issues: This cap was very dirty, so I hand washed it and looks a lot better, but the fabric on the button started to fray, as well as the sweatband, as seen on the pics. It still is very wearable and has that nice vintage shape. When you pull it down on the front it makes that indent in center like many of us cap lovers like.

Asking: $65.00 + shipping.

4th cap for sale: SOLD!

Size 7 1/8
Top Width: 10 1/2"
This one was also very dirty, so I hand washed it and the lining fell apart. Top button still has the rusty color from the metal inside button, but it still is very wearable and has a great shape. Has full leather sweatband.
Asking: $50.00 + shipping.

Top width: 10 1/2"
Asking: $125.00

Cap #6

Vintage 1920s 8 dart cap in an art decco fabric. Colors are baby blue, grey and cream. Very good condition. I stretched this cap up because the top of the cap is very wide and the visor is a good length.

Size: 7 3/8
Width: 11 1/4"
Visor: 2 1/2"
Asking: $195.00 + Shipping.

Asking: $175.00 + shipping.

Are you sure you want to use this Global Shipping Programme? You could just as well sell to US buyers only as nobody from abroad in their right mind would bid. Just google it and you'll see why. I certainly wouldn't bid when this feature is used. The only time it is not massively more expensive for the buyer is when the item is very heavy. But even then using this program doesn't stop the local customs authorities from charging the buyer anyway.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yes, exactly. A scam from start to finish. (Not Johnny; eBay scamming.) Not to mention the fraudulent scum at Customs and Excise randomly making up how much to charge, and the wastes of skin at Parcelforce and their £12 "handling charge" on top.

 

[Rabbit]

I wouldn't bid on an item that ships through the Global shipping program either, unless it was some holy grail item. It's not just the extra fees - I wouldn't trust the idiotic program to send the correct parcel. Sorting errors and all that.

 

[Johnny J]

Rudie, Baron and Rabbit, thank you for that info. I wasn't even aware of all that.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Be aware that eBay is probably also taking a portion of the Global Shipping charge as a fee. (They now charge fees on the shipping price, or at least the UK site does.)

Apparently, there is one main sorting office in the UK where they never check anything and everything gets through without being charged duties. The trouble is, I don't live in that area. The rest of the time it's a complete lottery.
