Anyone know who the new Hatmaker on UK ebay is under the name "newnumber_2"?

Hats on offer seem pretty good from the pictures.

Doesn’t look like he’s selling any at the moment, so I’m not sure.

Apologies for the pic size. Still haven't figured that out ](*,) Embarrassing after working two IT jobs :CR:

I’ve seen the advert on and off for about 6 months. I think he takes an order via ebay, completes it and then readvertises.

They do look good though!

Looks nice, but I’m not sure about the business model of selling on eBay.

I get the impression they’re a hobbyist rather than being a full blown business.

Yeah, it looks like a hobbyist. Someone who wanted to make their own, possibly dissatisfied with the budget options and has sticker shock by the more custom options, who bought a 57 block and found out that was too small for him then bought a 58 and that was also too small and then went up to a 60. So only the three sizes and apparently only ships in the UK.

I wish him luck. They look decent from that one photo at least. Especially for the price.

I must admit that they look decent and seeing the amount of effort put in, was wondering if it was someone on COW.

Mystery remains!
