A week ago, Richard mailed me about some funny hats he'd seen on eBay, and I wrote this post about them, which Mark at Boing Boing kindly linked to. Today, the auction finished. The pair of hats, which had failed to get a starting bid of £45 when Richard spotted them, sold for £820. That's $1,434, and the winning bidder has a feedback score of 119.

Got to be shitting me! I would have paid a good $200 for these, but $2,000???
ReplyDeleteYa. That's too bad. I was prepared to go up to 500 bucks USD. These are sooo cute. Arrr.
ReplyDeleteThat is kind of absurd. I hope they're paying for the history, and not just the hats. I could vacuum form decent plastic replicas for ~$250, and perfect ones for ~$750, and they'd be more comfortable, and have built in ring modulators.
ReplyDeleteUm....I've got an '89 Toyota that I'd like to sell. Can you help me get a couple extra thousand for it?
ReplyDeletehey, if i put a megaphone in my 98 olds intrigue, would you post it on your site and then get me an extra few grand for it. Ill even throw in a yamaha tx81z in the trunk!
ReplyDeletei'll give ya a cut!
