Over the weekend i scored a KILLER DEAL on a brand new, UNSMOKED Rinaldo Collection Titania Silver Line Pipe with a sterling silver band on Ebay. I could not believe i was not outbid or sniped at the end, which is usually the case. I just bid how i normally do, which i highly recommend, and put the most i was willing to pay ($150) and put my phone on silent and in the other room until the auction was over, in order to prevent any uneccessary bidding wars i might be inclined by chance to engage in. I checked my phone and low and behold, i scored the pipe for $145 plus around $5 for shipping. After messaging the seller about a couple specs not included in the description, i found he bought it from the Rinaldo distributor here in the States at the St. Louis pipe show and it still has the retail sticker of $465 on it! Comes with the original bag as well. This is my second Rinaldo, the other being a Triade YYY smooth bent apple that smokes like a dream, so i know how great of pipes they are. The other one i bought used for $125 with bag off Ebay and the seller said the pipe was well taken care of (which it was) but was around 8 years old. But for $20 more and a BETTER Collection pipe brand new with ridiculous grain and birdseye, man i got lucky for sure! Moral of the story, if you look around long enough you can still stumble across some incredible deals on Ebay. I should receive the pipe on thursday of this week, so we'll see how it turns out and how she smokes!

Congrats on a very nice transaction! What a great looking pipe. Rinaldos are indeed good smokers. You can expect some of the

best smokes of your life from this one. Superb stuff -- and you've made me totally envious. :clap:

Lol, thanks Cortez! Like i said, i already have 1 rinaldo and LOVE it. It is one of my best smokers and i have no doubt this one will prove to be just as good of a smoker. It is a gorgeous pipe as well, and i am still stunned i got it for this price, even the seller agreed there!

That pipe is gorgeous and the grain on the side really accentuates its beauty. I also love the birds eye on the rim.
I hope you get many great smokes out of her. Rinaldo just went on my list of pipes to look at :)

Thanks for the compliments on the pipe everyone, can't wait to get it. I couldn't recommend Rinaldo more, they are great pipes...just not at retail prices, lol. There's always a deal out there if you are patient and look hard enough.

Looks like a great ebay purchase. You have to be careful with ebay, but occasionally good things happen. Hope

this works out well for you. It's a beautiful pipe.

Nice! I love Rinaldos also. I'm sure it will be a great smoker but let us know how it smokes anyway!

So I got the rinaldo pipe in the mail today and holy shit it is a hell of a pipe! Honestly, I'm afraid to even smoke it, good God, best 145 bucks I ever spent!

Sorry guys, i realized last night that i attached the pics wrong but it was late and didn't feel like fixing it then. Here are the pics i took of the pipe last night. It really is a phenominal piece of briar with excellent grain. Not sure what i am going to pop the virgin briar's cherry with though. Decisions, decisions.
