Very nice, but the shipping is a bit odd: US$12 Registered & Insured for US$40, or pay US$60 shippiing with US$600 insurance -- choose one or the other. Feast or famine.
ya i thought the same thing but i better pick because unless someones bids in the next 5min its coming to me.
my wife's gonna kill me lmao
ok its official she be mine i think i paid a little too much for this one though lets hope it smokes good.
I don't think you paid too much IMHO.
That shipping policy is strange though. I'd Email the seller and see if there's a sweet spot between $12 shipping with $40 insurance and his $60 shipping with $600 insurance -- such as $25 shipping and $80 insurance, for example.
ya thats a good idea just to at least cover the cost of the pipe.
Very nice... dont think you overpaid... congrats
I think you got a great deal! Nice looking pipe. Congrats!
Thanks gents I look the way it looks too and it's a sitter from what I see so bonus. Ill post pics once it comes in.
Congrats - she is a beauty.

Beautiful. Let me know what you tell your wife, I need pointers & help.
Haha just say it was a trade works every-time
Thats the line I use too! Then the AMX bill comes in.
E-bills go paperless and just set up automatic payments. I'm I good guy I swear lol
It's not foolproof I got caught now and again. Just get to know your shoes and purses. Couch outlet is your best friend next to your tobacconist well atleast if your married.
She hangs those purses and stacks those shoes like trophies from a victory yet you'll look at them as get out of jail free cards. Mind you they cost more them most pipes you'd buy but that's the price of getting caught.
Haha rule number one don't underestimate your wife I walked in from work and she looks at me weird "you bought a pipe didnt you?" With a huge smile on her face. Oh man I love this women she knows me all to well. At least now I can smoke it in piece. Without trying to hide. Moral of the story lying gets you no where and just made me look dumb lol lesson learned. Lol
She can only complain for so long, but that sweet pipe will last much longer. After a little cleaning that is. Hope she smokes well for ya.
Handsome pipe, congratz!
Saying it was a trade isn't really a lie. You traded money for it.
Haha yup counts as a barter
Purdy pipe and not a bad price at all. Enjoy.
Smokey = were you able to negotiate the shipping a bit?
I had this saved to bid on but the shipping prices are what kept me away. I look forward to hearing how you had it shipped ($12 or $60) and how long it took to get to you. If your experience with this seller is a good one I will definitely not hesitate to buy in the future. This is a very nice looking pipe and I hope you enjoy it .
@Rothnh- i sent the seller a message still no response i think i can insure the package through PayPal? Don't they offer an insurance option?
@k9shag- thanks im probably gonna risk the 12$ since the seller isnt responding but either way im not doing the 60$ thats just ludicrous its obviously a seller trap there's no way that little pipe would cost 60$ to ship unless its next day. Still it just puts me over budget either way ill be at a loss.
When i bid on eBay i don't usually snipe because that is too dangerous for a guy like me i tend to always go overboard while sniping. What i usually do is bid the most I am willing to pay and if i get it i get it. Unless i truly must have it i rarely bid a second time. in this case i put 60$ and it was sitting at 59.99. i couldn't leave it like that i needed some sort of mystery to the finish so i put an odd bid of 86.00$ which most of the time works well because people tend to bid in increments of 5 i guess thats how the mind works.
You guys were all right these Caminetto's rarely go for less then 200$ Caminetto pipes especially the rusticated ones.
I got some beginners luck man first my Peterson Estate and now this. Sweet!
Wanted to know more about Caminetto and too see what the hype is about so read this Caminetto History and know i now. Big names in this article.
Apparently its suppose to have a silver capped rim? or is this a different shape?
Smokey,
I dunno about PayPal insurance options as I never looked it up, sorry.
As for your pipe not having a cap or looking a bit different, I'm pretty sure yours is not the same model, but it is always possible your estate pipe's cap was removed.
No the one in the link is a bent model mine is straight the only similar thing is the finish i got excited i guess.
I got excited about this "bargain" on ebay until I looked at the shipping charge. WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT ?

Wow that story is strangely familiar. We may be married to the same woman. My wife puts up with my PAD because she knows my guilt translates into new clothes for her. In the end it all means that I don't turn down any overtime when it comes my way.
@keith929- i have seen shipping costs upwards of 2000$ yes 2000$ stupid sellers are out to lunch
@dpkrause-haha Yup we are one and the same my friend.
I got this in the mail today came quick I'm glad I risked the 12$ shipping option it looks way better than the pics and it wasn't even dirty when I cleaned it pretty much new. Ill post pics tomorrow.
WTG, Smokey! Congratulations!
