Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions

[joed]

So, what's that - like $25 per pipe - But - if you're out - I'm out.

I just picked up a Charatan - Lane Era - Beleveder for $60 - I hope that was a good deal - and three other estate Italian made pipes for $48 - total. I never heard of Fero Azzurra or Boda, but the pipes look nice. These weren't cleaned but looked nice - so, I'll try your cleaning method and see what happens.

So, the collection is growing -your fault Nooner.

no, the reserve is much higher than the current bid - actually it turns out that grouping has cycled thru ebay at least 2x before this listing.

The reserve is probably reasonable if you are a collector, but too high for me to want to smoke them. Also there was a bit of a question about the authenticity of one of the pipes... I don't know enough about the maker to know for sure, but if it is of questionable origin who knows about hte rest of the pipes.

Anyways, just too expensive!!!

Thats cool, but the beauty of ebay is....there is always another on out there.
Sorry it didnt work out, but cest la vie.
If you come across another bulk lot like that, let me know and we'll try again.

i got sniped twice last night.

1 - a very nice Nording A "apple" shape... i was pissed.

2 - i waited to put in my hammersnipe bid with 1 minute left, but they only allow it with 2 minutes or more left... so, i put in my bid with 15 seconds, but then you have to go through 25 fuggin pages of bid verifications, and by the time you get there, someone else could've sniped your snipe... you have nothing to do but search for a link to go back to the fuggin page to bid again, which is impossible to find because they have that massive purple box full of nonesense.... fluck that crap. ebay fuggin blows old mens nutsacks.

I never use that service. Like you said, too big a pain in the anus.

ebay is the part that blows. the hammersnipe stuff works fine... i didn't know that you had to have your auction placed 2 minutes prior to it's end time for it to work... so i had to try to snipe it manually, which is fuggin impossible with all the "bid confirmation" screens they have now.

anyway,

TONS AND TONS of nice pipes ending in less than 5 hours on there... i'm very close to bidding on a few. if i had time, i'd list a lot of 'em available today that are pretty nice.

Well, the brand new Peterson went for like $66.00 - a good deal for someone. The Stanwell is still in the 20's and here is a nice Ben Wade that is less than $30 and is done in about an hour

That's a pretty one - that seller has quite a few nice ones going in the next couple of hours and all the prices seem low to me - good luck.

[mr.c]

Ahhh it went for a $1.88 over my bid wished I could have gotten it, but oh well.
