    Finally Got A Deal Nording

    BTW- this is easily my best smoking pipe now. On my 2nd bowl. No relights. He did an awesome complete restoration.

    Finally Got A Deal Nording

    So my collection (bare at a handful GBD, Sav, Rossi, etc.) got a boost on a "Buy Now" on Ebay. Not sure if I can mention the seller but he came through IMHO. It's not a Dunhill and all that but it's colossal compared to my others which the bowl on my Sav 320 was the largest I had. He really...

    Ben Wade Free-Hand Denmark Thoughts

    I'm thinking an offer of $63. Owner wants 75 which is too high since it needs resoration.

    I presume that's good? Perhaps? LOL. My bit of learned ma taught me says those were good days.

    Ben Wade Free-Hand Denmark Thoughts

    So I know it's a disturbing history on Ben Wade though I believe there was a time when they were quite worth having. Not going to upload all the pics but I will put one beside the branding below that one. Any thoughts if you were interested in this pipe a ballpark value? Any thoughts on this...

    Is It OK Posting For Feedback On Perspective Pipe Purchases?

    Thx- I have a ton of sinus issues. Just add to that the fact I lose all my fav ebay bid outs on pipes. Excuse me while I smoke my pipe (in the 8" of snow keeping my trees alive).

    Is It OK Posting For Feedback On Perspective Pipe Purchases?

    One may be surprised if you went to enough trouble and the poster did not use a VPN. IP addresses are like having your house address. I tracked down some creeps that bought my stolen identity and used it to get a bunch of junk for about $8K. I had their apartment number, names, landlords name...

    Is It OK Posting For Feedback On Perspective Pipe Purchases?

    I have not tried snuff since I was a teen. I am sure I knew nothing when I was buying/doing that. That sounds interesting- a forum on that one? Not that I am looking to do that- I have horrific sinuses.

    Is It OK Posting For Feedback On Perspective Pipe Purchases?

    Well pipe smokers are a generous bunch (well some anyways). Someone I've been dealing with and trying to help with research which is something I was great at when I was in IT- well he just sent me $20 to help get a pipe. I felt bad taking it but he was insistant. I've helped out plenty of folks...

    Is It OK Posting For Feedback On Perspective Pipe Purchases?

    OK thought so. I did not realize I was doing a lot of capitalization. I do often use hyphens and such but that is stuck in me from when I wrote a column. I have a punctuation publication nazi for an editor.

    Is It OK Posting For Feedback On Perspective Pipe Purchases?

    I thought we had to use all caps for the 1st letter of our post titles? - when I did not they were changed. So no link to active ebay because 1) it looks like I am selling something (I would never but that's me) or 2) someone else may snag it now? (not too cool for this group) --- or both...

    Is It OK Posting For Feedback On Perspective Pipe Purchases?

    I know I have posted about 5 times regarding pipes I have considered to buy. Is that a no-no? Frankly it's a practice I may continue until I get a healthy stock of pipes or my PAD gets under control- or of course wifey notices we now are eating rice and beans suddenly. Thanks for the previous...

    Brebbia Pipes Reputation?

    Any thoughts on this guy???? Cellini Brebbia Argento Handmade I am sure that will go up in $$$ a lot. Still thought I'd keep an eye out and perhaps establish a price I can pay and place it. Thx

    Any Thoughts On This Pipe And The Buy Now Price? I Like This Sort Of Design. Looks Good.

    I've seen some deals out there just after the fact usually posts on here TBH. I did get a deal on a Savinelli and a Rossi (both new though).

    Any Thoughts On This Pipe And The Buy Now Price? I Like This Sort Of Design. Looks Good.

    I like this one for a new pipe. Perhaps birthday gift. That or a lift on my 4Runner (that goes off road probably 2x year ha).

    Any Thoughts On This Pipe And The Buy Now Price? I Like This Sort Of Design. Looks Good.

    Agreed- I have message this seller and waiting, waiting. The other listing I mentioned/posted (Neerup) I am finding myself more interested in now to be honest. Funny how that goes.

    Any Thoughts On This Pipe And The Buy Now Price? I Like This Sort Of Design. Looks Good.

    In case someone missed that post for the Neerup NOS I do like the looks of and it's unsmoked- NEERUP NOS Classic 2 I cannot find this model or really too close to it in stock new so far. Also, most are at least $40 more even with his classics. I am unlikely to win that bid so I am not to...

    Any Thoughts On This Pipe And The Buy Now Price? I Like This Sort Of Design. Looks Good.

    I like my Rossi. I want something different though at this point. I only have Italians except my beater GBD and some corn cobs (I have a Masterson (perhaps) that I use for practicing restorations). I really want a hand made pipe this time around so time will tell on the one I may have coming to...

    Any Thoughts On This Pipe And The Buy Now Price? I Like This Sort Of Design. Looks Good.

    I was not overly impressed the last week I spent on Blue Room Briars from the previous link you sent. I am not impressed with Ebay, either though. I am hoping on a new seller I came onto but won't know until 3/3. Crossing fingers.
