I just made an offer for a 1962 Dunhill Shell pipe, an attractive sandblasted item from an auction site. (I'm not mentioning the auction site because there might be a rule about mentioning other sites, but I'm sure you know which auction site I'm referring to.) The seller made a counter offer of barely less than $200. I'm new to the hobby and desperately want a Dunhill, but just can't see myself spending $350-400 for a new Dunhill. (Primarily because I can't afford that.) Opinions? Thanks for reading.
