I just found a local guy who is selling 5 pipes.A peterson emerald,a bari volcano,a butz choquin calabash church warden,a bjarne danish freehand,a Sasieni 4-dot Ruff Root.I can buy them all for $150.00.Does this seem like a good deal?

It does to me :D
But what matters is what you think.
Are they in good shape?
Does he have room to haggle?

$30 apiece is not bad at all for name brand pipes in good shape.

My attitude towards buying pipes has changed over the years, these days I'd be tempted to put that $150 on one new or barely smoked Ser Jacopo or Mastro de Paja.

If you dont have much of a rotation, all of the pipes he's selling should be good smokers.

Sounds good sirboggles.I use an alcohol retort,to sterilize them after reaming.I then use Salt and alcohol bath on the inside of the bowl.Doing the to cleanings removes any ghosting taste in the pipes.If you decide you want one sometimes PM and when you recieve it,it will be ready to fire up and smoke after opening

:D Brother FB... Its nice to know how you haggle before we discuss price on my pipes. It also sounds like I'd better hurry before you run out of money. :puffy:

The MBA in me says: The cost is right as long as the market will bear the price.

Market; meaning you. So, if it seems the stated price is too high and there are no other potential buyers then the price is too high. If the market is you and someone else, and the other can or is willing to pay the stated price then the price is correct or too low.

Wow the mods are really delete happy around here. Mine and a few others who posted asking for pictures got their posts deleted. I bet this post gets deleted too so I will make a 'contributing post'.
I would have snapped them up at $150!
Post pictures!
