Cooke Calabash sold for $4600 - CoopersArk on eBay
Did you guys see this?
A gorgeous James Cooke calabash recently sold for $4,617.89 on eBay.
That dollar figure is just mind boggling.

Yes, he does have a 3 year waiting list and all but his pipes usually sell for $800.

Whoever this was must have been a die-hard collector and or crazy stupid.

Here is a link, dont know how long it will be good for.
JIM COOKE TAN SANDBLASTED CALABASH * NEW! JUST CARVED! - eBay (item 250511016209 end time Oct-18-09 17:00:55 PDT)

Since it is such an incredible pipe, I will post pics to supplement the link when it fails.

That could be a great marketing maneuver... (hipotetically speaking, of course).

Wow that is a beautiful pipe, but no pipe is worth that much IMO.

I like it! I'd be more than willing to spend $4600 of Commander Quan's money on it. Or a couple hundred of mine...

I saw it before it hit $2000. Cook could probably make better money if he auctioned his pipes rather than doing commissions

That's kind of funny. See, he does sometimes use a smooth finish, but he's as well know for his sandblasting as Peterson is for P-lips.
