I’ve been going nuts trying to find a plain Jane straight stem smooth billiard or apple estate meer for weeks now.
I bought a mini-meer with 3/4” bowl from AND and like it enough I’d love a standard size starter for my rotation but have TAD pretty bad, spending too much on finding blends I like, therefore my budget isn’t near what folks are asking for new meers.
Most I see on eBay in the price range I’m looking (<$50) look really risky on tenon integrity, block or not, not clear if cracked or not, trashed mouthpieces, or all crazy carved stuff that I’m not interested in.
I see enough people here or elsewhere posting good finds often, am I just looking in all the wrong places or am I expecting too much for my budget?
