I Won A Tool!!

lol, yep, i'm such a tool i had to win one...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWA:IT

the local place has some cheapy pipe tools for $12!!! i remember when they were only abour $3, if that...

so, bought a decent looking one, hopefully pretty solid, and free shipping. i only have 1 other tool/tamper, and my son THREW it someplace in the yard (we have about a foot of snow now, so it'll be a while before i find it - like next spring when i mow).

wow, that $20 meerschaum would have been amazing.. I'm interested in trying pipes, I hear such great things, but don't have the $$ to drop on a decent pipe.. that meerschaum was an.. interesting design.. oh well, I've got a whole new year to try pipes... as for your son throwing your tool? Well, take his favorite xbox game and throw it out there... just thinking of what my dad would have done to me...

Re: Couple Ebay Finds

I am horrible at Ebaying. There are so many bottom feeders making a business out of buying and selling Ebay items that it makes it really hard to get cool stuff. I remember the old days where you could find some really great deals but it seems that now those deals are few and far between.

Anybody have pointers?

Yep... I won!!! It is a new Charatan, and not the highest quality, but these are supposed to be superior to Dunhills sooo.... I am happy to get it at a lower price than I've found anywhere else.

Greg(IHT) seems to be better than me at finding deals, but I never buy anything that I pay more than I wanted for... if that makes sense?

Using Hammersnipe has totally changed Ebay for me - I just enter the most I am willing to pay for something and let it works its magic. It also limits me to 3 auctions per week, so I am kept even more honest!

That's what I'm talking about. I had no idea something like this existed. No wonder I am never able to outbid people even though I am sitting here refreshing every second to see if someone tried to get in at the last moment. I'm going against a computer...eff-sake man. Thanks for the heads up.

you can thank SeanGar, cuz i got sniped on a bid a while back and he told us all about HammerSnipe.com. i've been using that now exclusively, and i think i've won 3 auctions with it, including that last one.
i can't believe i got that nice looking Da Vinci for $36!!! those go for over 120+ brand new (from the cheapest source i know for them).

also, when i post "ebay finds", they all close within 24 hours or so... i go search by "ending soonest" and go from there... i dont' like to spend too much, so i go for solid/cheap pipes, and try to look for lightly smoked or new pipes.

DAMN!

I checked this thread and clicked on the Karl Erik; it had 33 seconds remaining. (I like it!!) So, I hit 'bid' and went through login, bid and bid confirmation and on bid confirmation it had ended. That's a cool pipe!

Re: Couple Ebay Finds

I got Hammersnipe loaded and keyed in on that Sasieni 4 Dot. I don't know why but I am a sucker for that shape even though it is very similar to the 4 Dot I currently smoke.
