Really, no one is willing to take this guy's word that this must have been Bob Hope's hat? ctl/sarcasm/off
I am with Lefty, snip programs are a usefully tool. I used them for years buying vintage leather jackets off ebay. More recently while biding on hats with snip programs, I noticed 3 or 4 bids might come in during the last 10 seconds between when a snip program enters my bid and the auction close. End result when my bid is jacked up in the final seconds. I attributed the difference to increase action on hats relative to vintage jackets. Flash forward to this auctionLefty said:Why not use a snipe program yourself?

Not really into black Fedoras .. but I couldn't resist the way low starting bid of $9.99 for a Borso! I nabbed it in the last 30 seconds with a max bid of $50.00!
I can't wait to get it .. I'll post pics when it arrives.
Wil Tam said:I told myself to lay off eBay for a while because I get a little impulsive.... but I couldn't help myself since this deal was too good to pass up, I can't wait to get it! Buy It Now!
That hat would really pop with a silver/light gray Ribbon treatment.Wil Tam said:This just got here .. seller was in Queens, NY .. I'm in Manhattan so it arrived in a day .. I'm not digging the the stitching & the belt as much as I thought I would so this is going to end up as a project hat ... because I really love the rich indigo blue color.
