Maybe he is charging for his bashing services....?

But hey, there is a sucker born every minute and I wouldn't be surprised if someone bought it.

Sorry, Mod-I wasn't trying to promote. The guy is from Lincoln, though-maybe I should stop by and aquaint him with the actual cost plus shipping?

Perhaps he bought it back when the Australian dollar was killing the the US dollar. There was a time. Based on what he paid, he might think he's giving a discount! :shock:

I just paid $140 something with expedited shipping for my Deluxe.

P.S..I just searched for the hat, at least it has a nice bash job! I'm watching it to see what happens. :-$

I paid 136 for regular shipping last week. Got here today-7 days including the weekend for international airmail shipping and I think the shipping portion was 25-30.

Really? I think everything about that crease is off. At least if it was a decent crease I may understand. Some people don't feel confident creasing their own hats and would rather have someone else do it. But thats a bad crease in my opinion. Whoever buys that hat will regret it once they find out how much they could have paid for the hat.

I didn't mean it was a good Indy bash. I like the profile it has.. but not as an Indy. I should have been clearer.

Yep. A Deluxe

Yow...that crease needs to be a lot sharper, and the center dent doesn't look right either.
