Good lookin, Jim, as always. There's a green hat in my future, I know. I missed one on the bay a week or two ago, a nice looking green Barbisio. I got sniped, but it gave me a chance to look into and learn about sniping.

WOW, there are some great-looking lids posted today.

Jbconquero, Welcome to the party. Both your Champ and your Churchill look very good on you. Love the picture with the Fella.

Gene, That Warner is a winner.

Wombat, Is that a beaver?

Rusty, What can I say? It's a Campdraft in all it's glory.

Tampahound, Nice Stylemaster.

Bolt & Bart, Great Schobles, gentlemen.

Jimmy, You gotta love the Lee Adventure. I like the color!

Today, it was the Schoble.....

Nice Schobles, Bolt and Bart. Man, those wide bindings really do it for me, Bolt.

Bolt & Bart, Great Schobles, gentlemen.

I second that!
Bart, I don't recall if I've said this or not, but you certainly wear a hat! Sometimes, even though they're worn confidently and without irony, most of us still come off looking anachronistic ( before anyone says anything, I said sometimes ). You, on the other hand, always look like you were born with your hat on.

Jtl - verrrry cool.

Sniping...

Bob, check out the site www.esnipe.com. I probably shouldn't direct you there, as we may end up sniping at each other's fedora bids at some point in the future , but I'm willing to take that risk. Check it out--it helps with those last minute bids.

That is one gorgeous lid, bolthead...exactly the color I'm looking for. Nice.

Thanks alot Kiltie and fellas. And Jimmy, your lid is looking real sharp. I really think we need a JTL thread like the Douglas one.

My new Campdraft like Mr. P's....

I like them both!:eusa_clap

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Nice, gtd, very nice! I have to keep reminding myself its not an OR. The thin ribbon is just western to my eyes, and where there's western there can only be a cattleman's crease with upturned brim sides! Years of conditioning, I suppose...[huh]

Hey, Bob, Lots of folks got sniped on that Barbisio. The winner's high bid may have been much higher than what the hat went for. A very desirable hat.

Mr. P, That Glen Grey Campdraft is my favorite of yours thus far. The color and proportions are spot on and well-coordinated with your outfit. Excellent! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

gtd, Looks good from that angle. We need some more pictures of that one.

Mr. P -- that is my favorite of all the lids you have posted thus far. The proportions of the hat suit you well. In particular, I think that a hat with less taper looks much better on you. The brim and crown on that Campdraft seem just perfect to me. Congrats -- that is just a great look! (You should be smiling!) :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Cheers,
JtL

OK, gtd -- it's time for some Tough Love. Three words: Canon Power Shot! Come on, man -- time to ditch that damn cell phone and get serious about posting your lids in all their glory!!!

Looking forward to some more photos of that Campdraft...

Cheers,

Thanks for the heads up, JnC. I did a little google work after I got slammed on that Barbisio and hit on a bunch of snipe sites.

I'm not so sure these sites are as it should be, but if you're like me you can't sit in front of your computer all day and watch auctions. Therefore, they do help to level the playing field and create equality among snipes.

The other thing I learned lately was that you have to fish with big bait to catch the big fish. One of my friends here offered me that tidbit of wisdom.

All in all, my education paid off yesterday when I landed this fine specimen:

and I'm might be a little smarter today about how e-bay works than I was a week or two ago.
