    what in the word is going on here?

    my guess was the guy is bidding it up himself with another account , and was just stuck selling the same hat over and over because he wont pay himself. if anyone is falling for this it really is sad...in a funny way.

    The cool thing about always wearing a hat is...

    some poor gent in a P.G. Woodehouse novel lost his hat in some or another misadventure so he went to a cottage to barrow one no one was home so he did the only reasonable thing , he broke into the place to snag a hat so as not to be seen walking around with a naked dome.
