    6 days and 7 hours left to bid on the Pope's hat..

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/papalina-d...-/111465997086

    217619 views, 123 bids, and currently standing at c.£71,487.82. You might struggle to get past the top bidder who has covered himself with 4 consecutive bids, but hey, might be worth a snipe.

    Haven't translated the blurb but surely 'l@@k, ideal xmas gift!!' has to come into it somewhere.

    I note there have been 3 bid retractions so far.

    Re: 6 days and 7 hours left to bid on the Pope's hat..

    Jeeze.

    Makes me wonder how the original seller got their hands on it.

    ... the funny part, scroll down... "Returns Accepted" yeah as if. "I bought this gift for someone but they didn't like it, could I have a refund please?"
    "If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0" ||| "I'm not interrupting you, I'm putting our conversation in full-duplex mode" ||| "The problem with UDP joke: I don't get half of them"
    "I’d tell you the one about the CIDR block, but you’re too classy" ||| "There’s no place like 127.0.0.1" ||| "I made an NTP joke once. The timing was perfect."
    "In high society, TCP is more welcome than UDP. At least it knows a proper handshake."

    In the 3rd picture is that lipstick I can see? Naughty Pope.
    Grab that. Get that. Check it out. Bring that here. Grab anything useful. Take anything good.

    Yeah you wouldn't want to have to leave neg feedback 'seller wasnt happy with price he got, wouldnt send!! avoid!!!'

    It's gone up £12k now & currently in the hands of a 5 feedback bidder with 132 bids in the last 30 days, all on mobiles. People getting their bids in too soon would you say?

    I hope the winner puts negative feedback about the postage price

    Back down to £72,577.34. 3 bid retractions today has almost halved it. Not like you can impulse bid exactly, either.

    ^ .. and it went for lower again in the end. Kind of a disappointment.

    Wondering what the 'more chances to get what you want' suggestions will be.
