Sold, $81. The great Mustard Rivendell Cap performance art project is at an end. On Saturday, November 14, 2020 at 12:22:58 PM UTC-8 Benz Ouyang, Sunnyvale, CA wrote: > So I was browsing eBay and happened upon this auction > . The auction is for a *used* Rivendell

They may have zero interest, but if they bid and nobody bids higher, they are obliged to buy it. If they don't, they could lose their access to eBay auctions. In terms of auction outings, that's a tough one. Obviously you are not going to advertise an auction of an item you are interested in

?? The company still sells various Riv-branded hats and tees, as well as a mug, buttons, stickers, patches, and posters. These items are often out of stock, but they definitely still sell schwag. On Saturday, November 21, 2020 at 1:51:42 PM UTC-5 Nathan F wrote: > I take this auction and

I've seen two people in sperate conversations online mention bidding on that hat with zero interest in winning the auction. They just wanted to see how high it would go. So whoever won in the end are paying extra due to broadened internet awareness and a couple jerks. I see this quite a bit in

Re: [RBW] Re: Wow! What's going on with Rivendell caps going for $$$

I take this auction and similar, like a used mug that went for $55 a month or so ago, as proof Riv needs to revive some of their accessory lines. People want the stuff (myself included) and I know the margin is there to make the endeavor worthwhile. On Saturday, 21 November 2020 at 09:13:41

I've got the same hat which I bought from a Performance Bike Shop many years ago! Geez, I've got to find it and offer it up for sale! (It's got lots of beausage, too!). George in NoCal On Thursday, November 19, 2020 at 3:27:44 PM UTC-8 Mark Roland wrote: > `I like the color and the logos,

`I like the color and the logos, too--though I don't think the mustard would be particularly flattering on me (It would, however, match a few stains on some shirts I have). I think the shape is a bit non-traditional for a cotton cycling cap. BTW, crept up $2 to $71 with a little over a day

I think that mustard cap is a *great* color. On Wednesday, November 18, 2020 at 6:53:43 PM UTC-5 Joe Bernard wrote: > The current bid on that cap is proof positive that we've all been in the > house too long  > > On Wednesday, November 18, 2020 at 3:36:02 PM UTC-8 Mark Roland wrote: > >> Well

Well there's your answer--Ugly Rivendell Caps are the new Ugly Christmas Sweaters. Get 'em while the gettin's good. On Wednesday, November 18, 2020 at 11:07:05 AM UTC-5 John A. Bennett wrote: > I remember that one. It came in as a surprise. > Grant said it was the ugliest cap he'd ever seen.

I remember that one. It came in as a surprise. Grant said it was the ugliest cap he'd ever seen. We didn't sell them. A few leaked out, I guess. Used Rivendell caps normally don't sell for anywhere near this amount on eBay. John j...@rivbike.com On Saturday, November 14, 2020 at 12:22:58

I still wear my Riv caps. They are old by now. I would not pay th3 auction price so I will probably be wearing other caps soon. On Saturday, November 14, 2020 at 4:47:01 PM UTC-5 Robert Tilley wrote: > I have a few unused caps in various colors from long ago. They never fit > my fat head.

Fat head guys are always the red head step child. But I have found the Walz caps come in 2 sizes and the LG fits me well. YMMV I still don't understand the 50 used riv hat deal though On Monday, November 16, 2020 at 8:37:21 PM UTC-7 Mark Roland wrote: > That is one deluxe cycling cap, though.

[RBW] Re: Wow! What's going on with Rivendell caps going for $$$

That is one deluxe cycling cap, though. Riv has done a number of different styles over the years, latest some fancy wool short bill caps I think, kinda pricey. With separate panels, what looks like a liner, and printing in several places, it's a bit more lux than the $35 baseball cap I just

[RBW] Re: Wow! What's going on with Rivendell caps going for $$$

How large is your head? I have a 60-odd cm head circumference and always have to get the largest caps and helmets. One size fits all usually means a bit tight. It’s bad enough that if my hair grows too long, the fit will go from nicely snug, to “yeah, I need to cut my hair soon”. On Saturday,

I have a few unused caps in various colors from long ago. They never fit my fat head. Think mine are the orange, yellow and blue versions. Maybe I can retire earlier than planned? Robert Tilley San Diego, CA Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 14, 2020, at 1:38 PM, Joe Bernard wrote: > > I saw

I saw that and I'd pay $50 for that rad color if it fit my fathead (it won't). Stuff you can't buy new anymore can get absurdly valuable. On Saturday, November 14, 2020 at 12:22:58 PM UTC-8 Benz Ouyang, Sunnyvale, CA wrote: > So I was browsing eBay and happened upon this auction >
