Re: Pipe Forum: Ebay Finds and Wins thread

okay, over two days, i won 2 auctions for Escudo tins (3 in each auction).

the one i got today, was the only bidder, got it at $29.99.

the one my wife bid me up on and cost me an extra 20 f'in dollars!!

since this is the same guy i just traded 3 tins for on another board, i sent him a PM so i can combine shipping. so, 6 tins of older ACP Escudo for $90 shipped - compare that to the 5 tins of the exact same sh*t, sold by "pipestud", that went for $211+ less than a month ago.

I will post some 'after' pics, but this one is going to clean up very nicely. Used a little 800 wet sand on the steam and it is going to be very good... little non-iodized sea salt and Seagram's 7 in the bowl brought it back to very nice, clean shape. Some very minor buffing and this will be a nice looking smoker. Bowl is a lot bigger than I thought -left hand index finger almost to second knuckle. Haven't smoked it yet, but seems like there might be a whistle...

$15 shipped for a Savinelli? I'll take it.

Re: Pipe Forum: Ebay Finds and Wins thread

Just curious...

Did this seller come up with a reasonable asking price for these? (buy it now $2700)


http://cgi.ebay.com/CHRISTMAS-PIPE-C...QQcmdZViewItem

23 unsmoked Christmas Pipes from '76-98.

Seems kinda high but maybe not

Someone here should buy them and then let me buy the 1977 off of them.

My neighborhood pipe bud hit me with the ebay clue-by-four a few months ago, but I missed that one with all the holidaze.

I think it is probably priced about right....would I buy it no, but it is probably about right. I have seen a '91 lightly smoked listed for $85 but these are apparently unsmoked and quite a collection....averaging a little over a $100 a pipe. The '06 is selling for $120-150 new.

Re: Pipe Forum: Ebay Finds and Wins thread

I really like these two pipes here and if I wasn't so broke I might actually try to get one of them

NEW Stanwell Golden Danish #19

Just a damn nice Churchwarden

Re: Pipe Forum: Ebay Finds and Wins thread

GOOD NEWS (i hope it's true).

my wife told me that she's heard ebay is going to severely crack down on sellers who overcharge for shipping (and handling) after the 1st of the year.

DO YOU HEAR THAT JUDD'S???!!! NO MORE CHARGING 8 FUGGIN DOLLARS TO SHIP 1 SMALL TIN AND YOU ONLY PAYING $2.10!!!

Woot! I'm tired of paying upwards of $10 for a $15 item that's being shipped First Class. Of course, there's always those sellers who let hundreds of items go for $.01 and charge $2 shipping...I can't figure out how those guys make any money at all.

Re: Pipe Forum: Ebay Finds and Wins thread

WooHoo!!
Got my "Teddy" in today, and it's more beautiful in person than the pics, and the pics were pretty stunning!

Got a great deal on this pipe, probably less than half of what it originally sold for, and much less than if Coopersark would have listed it.

The amazing thing is that I got the package just 4 days after the close of the auction...Sunday night to 1:00pm today......................from Japan!!

I won this volcano last night for just under $20 total... Shipping was a little high, but I have wanted a pipe with this shape for quite a while now. Can't wait until it gets here...
