Re: Pipe Forum: Ebay Finds and Wins thread

I'm no fan of a New Dunhill for $300. BUT a 1929 classic for $11.50 is a different matter all together. Just found this one, a few hrs to go, it has a crack on the shank, but otherwise in MINT condition. I think I'd still get a couple of years good smoking from her and hell, if she really is a good puffer I could get her repaired for a $100.

What do you think...should I bid?

Re: Pipe Forum: Ebay Finds and Wins thread

Was watching this one......a Teddy. It went at a pretty good price, relatively speaking. This pipe would normally sell for well over a grand.

No, I didn't get it. Was tempted though, but my better judgement held out.

Picked this up for 1.04

Getting a little frustrated. I am looking for a good sized lot to clean and restore to increase my pipe rotation and I loose those and end up with historical pieces that I can't smoke.

You should probably just track the items and similar ones and see what they go for - that will give you a good idea of ebay value. You can also search for the pipes (or similar) at vendors that sell estates to give you a general idea what they are selling them for. Personally, I think all of those pipes need some work so I wouldn't bid on them but if I were it wouldn't be for much. 2 cents

Re: Pipe Forum: Ebay Finds and Wins thread

FYI/Alert -
due to some recent crazy ass bids on some pipe tobaccos on ebay, a lot of ppl around the pipe world may start unloading their older tins on ebay.
so, if you're in the market for older Pease blends with syrian latakia, or things like that, i've just got a feelin that you'll start seeing a lot of single tins pop up from sellers you're not use to seein sell tins.

direct link to a search for "Tins" in the pipe area.

On the Pete Kapmeer I'd go $42 including shipping, the Dunhill $65 + shipping and the Pete system is already more than I'd offer for it. That is just what I would be willing to pay, top dollar.
