Anyone Know if These are Real?

[MarijnW]

Hi everyone,

I bought these pipes for a costumed party, but they seem a bit too fancy to destroy while being drunk... they are unused.

Thank you!

An unsmoked box of pre-Cadogan era, French GBD's?
I'm curious what you paid for that.

Keep them away from drunks, those are good pipes, buy some cobs and paint them different colors. I Garronte!

I paid 50 euros ?

Wow!! Do you smoke pipes at all? Looks like a great score. Kind of like having a real sword made to dress up as a pirate.

Nope... don t smoke.
Bought these to give me and 4 friends a good accessoire. ?

You got quite the deal.
My advice is to not smoke any of them and don't put any marks on the stems.

Put them up for sale on eBay if you're able and you can make a nice little profit.

What tbrad said. Those are good French pipes.

What are cobs, and why should I paint them? ??

 

[tbradsim1]

I don’t know where to start. Cobs are the corncobs specially grown to make pipes after corn is shucked. Paint them different colors would liven up the party, but if it’s a spiffy party that would not be a classy look. Pass out cigars, with wine or champagne it would be a Churchill look. I Garronte!

If you're looking to sell them, unless you're familiar with the ins and outs of eBay, use Pipestud, Briar Blues or Marty Pulver. All are inhabitants or sponsors here, and all do a fine job.

Good luck!

Thank you! Any idea what they would be worth? I am not planning on keeping them.

 

[jpmcwjr]

None. But the above dealers would.

I smell fish.....

I smell fish.....

Smoked Salmon I hope...
No idea what you mean ?

 

[tbradsim1]

I know what you mean, is this a ploy to find out the value of the pipes, something ain’t right with this , Sanddollars you may be right.

Most non-smokers that come here with pipes like this, just give them to me. I will PM you my address. And, thanks fro dropping by.

 

[MarijnW]

A kind sir informed me that it is not done on this forum to fish for prices... as i am only here on this forum because i was interested about the price of the pipes that fell into my lap, and I have absolutely no idea what I bought. I will just contact a local seller, who, I hope, will give me honest prices.
I assumed that it was alright to ask for prices, since there is a selling topic here. Sorry for any wrong assumptions, and thank you everyone fr the help.

That's OK, Marijn. It seems to me you're asking in good faith. I'd contact the sellers mentioned above to get an appraisal, then take it from there: either sell the pipes to them or try eBay. If I acquired something I am unfamiliar with, I'd also ask around to try to find out the real price. Personally, I don't see what's wrong with that.
