Read the description.

What am I missing here?

Even if George Washington stuck this pipe up his ass, there's no way I'd pay 5k for it.

This is like the Nigerian money transfer scam, in my opinion. Someone puts it out there and hopes

for the one gullible person in five million who will bite, thinking this might be some archeological

treasure, whereas someone made it at summer camp. If it is so historical, let a museum buy it. Ha.

Most likely some hippie stuff from the 70s.
But then again, it may be very old...

LOL, so I found this amusing and wrote the seller a message on ebay saying "Hey there, just was wondering if you realized you were asking $5000.00 for a pipe that's probably worth $5.00" and the seller replied "Thanks for the info. now show me one like that for $5. I searched thousands of photos & didn't find one. If it is 200 yrs old, it is worth 5k & more...It came from an old estate. Anything that old is very valuable. Thanks!" I wrote back "Well, good luck with that" :lol:
