O-T man, did I make a mistake adding a Buy It Now

[theantiquetiger]

I never add a buy it now to my auctions if some one ask me. Well, I bought these two hats for $5 last week and put them on eBay. Someone emails me and ask if I would put a buy it now for $75 and I did. The other hat is up to only $36, but has 22 people watching it. Why are 22 people watching a hat? It ends tomorrow. I will tell you how it comes out.

That's a Fonske Cha-Luz. Very rare hat and they don't make them anymore. They're popular with the fetish/SM crowd... Probably worth around 100 bucks a piece, maybe more. Be interesting to see how much the other one goes for. Kinky stuff.

I think these were actually Louisiana State Police hats. I put Harley Davidson in the title, surprised eBay didn't take it down.

I have "Harley Davidson" in the title but they are not true HD hats.

oh, they look like a Baron Von Zipper hat from those 60's surfer movies.Good luck with the one still going.

Well, it worked out. The other hat only sold for $44, and it went to the same person who asked me to put a buy it now on the other hat. I spent $10, sold them for $119

Actually I would have to do some deeper research but I believe they are vintage gas station attendant hats. I have a friend that's big into that stuff. If it is they went for a deal. Gas and oil stuff is big right now.

Looks like the hat Marlon Brando wore in The Wild One:
