WTB/ISO: Darkrai Organized Play Cap
I bought one of these and the seller lied about shipping it out and then ghosted me. Luckily I got my money back. You can find a couple sold in the past, so they’re not unfindable.
Right now what I can pay is $50 + shipping.
Hoping somebody can help me out after such a bad experience.

I will be on the lookout! How did the organized play events work? I wonder if anyone may have participated back in the day and still have one.

These were usually given out as door prizes or entry “gifts” for participants at States/Regional+ level events.
Currently every player gets a playmat, but back in the day sometimes you could choose playmat or hat.
I would guess these specific Darkrai hats were given out around 2009-2010 (you could pin this down with the Pokemon Organized Play vs Play Pokemon distinction, probably on the back of the hat) (EDIT: says Pokemon Organized Play on the side so must be pre-2010), and there are probably a decent amount out there so I bet one will turn up eventually

Thank you for the info! I hope I can find one soon.
Welp… after months of my package for this hat never updating its “Shipping Label Created” status, I get a shipping notification on Monday (7/21) that it delivered?
I go to pick up my package and it turns out not only did this package not get sent out for a really long time with the seller then ghosting me, the seller also must have put in the wrong address because it delivered somewhere in my city but not to me!
Put in a missing package request but I have no faith in this specific hat ever getting to me…

This is a pretty typical scam people try to pull. They ship to a place in your city to get a “delivered” status to your zip code. Hopefully you can find another one soon!

If it’s been months, it’s likely just a re-used shipping label number. I’ve had this happen twice, I think, with orders that were canceled and refunded. The seller had pretended to ship, but never did, leaving the status stuck at label creation. Months later, these orders all of a sudden received updates and completed delivery, obviously with me not receving any package. I remember looking it up online and finding out that Ebay (or maybe USPS in general) can reuse unused shipping labels.

Edited to update that I’m now willing to pay $50 + shipping for this hat. I’m starting to worry the Darkrai Organized Play hat is near nonfindable territory.
