    Ebay Estate Pipes Prices Seemed To Have Jumped

    I've been doing that more and more. Funny though as of late I am seeing pricier offerings and less decent briar pipes that are in need of a good bit of TLC.

    Ebay Estate Pipes Prices Seemed To Have Jumped

    Guess I need so swim in the shallow end of the pool. Just have to be happy with affordable pipes or getting lucky at Goodwill stores / restoring pipes in need of a lot of care- I have the time, not the money.

    Perhaps I've been looking in the wrong places... -but still once I am up over 2 bills I am going to do new.

    Agreed- I have not done it in quite some time now though it almost seems necessary on the nicer offerings. They even have sniping software/services. I assured myself if I have to do that- I should pass.

    Ebay Estate Pipes Prices Seemed To Have Jumped

    Well I agree on many used pipes. There are some really nice larger pipes that are outside my reach as a new hand carved offering. I have 2 Rossi's, a Savinelli, GBD. The ones I bought new were 1 Rossi at about $60 ish (small but great smoke) and a nice Savinelli. I really would like a different...

    Ebay Estate Pipes Prices Seemed To Have Jumped

    Oh I know how to snipe- what I am saying is that the prices seemed to have jumped up for starters. At least people waited until the last moment. I am finding that it's hardly worth bidding on some at the prices they are at days well before the bid ends. As @olkofri mentions, might as well save...

    I am certainly nearing that point. Being that I recently had to go on disability- $ is tight and tough to smoke a quality tobacco let alone a nice handmade pipe that I am longer for.

    Ebay Estate Pipes Prices Seemed To Have Jumped

    Anyone else notice or agree that prices on Ebay on estate pipes have recently jumped up? Admittedly I find the bids can go skyhigh anyways but I've been watching most days at prices seem to be high for starters anymore. Getting tougher to increase a collection to me. The last second sniping is...

    Are Golden Gate Pipes Junk? They May Supposedly Be Closing Their Company

    Well I see now the shipping is $14.50. The bid is at a $1 right now ?!?! I will look for others as I may want that one for myself lol. Not to be greedy. Thanks and I will send more links and let you know how this bid goes.

    Are Golden Gate Pipes Junk? They May Supposedly Be Closing Their Company

    They are selling their stock as they say- dirt cheap. Some look fine that I have just seen. I have not looked to much yet. If they are decent and stay around $10- why not? They appear to be make in the Ukraine and probably could use some help out there these days- I'll leave that alone ha. Still...

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    Though if I have to smell juniper at all that may not sit well for me. I can't get over the shots of Beefeater when I was 17 with my buddy- ugh. Though I would consider Chopin.

    Found a Good Pipe Pouch for a Great Price...

    Missed that. I am concerned what I am in for lol. Hey Valentines Day is coming up. If I don't like it... No offense- it is a tad amusing though. Being the manly man I am!

    Found a Good Pipe Pouch for a Great Price...

    What do you think about the lining? I know a lot of tobacco pipe pouches have special linings from felt to other special materials to either protect your pipes and/or keep your tobacco fresh. Funny-- I have one of their journal leather bound books or at least the same version they are selling...

    Anyone Know What the Heck This Pipe Is?

    That's pretty heavy. I had to have my doggie helped along. She was in horrific pain. I could not get her pain meds and I ended up having to give her mine until I got the right person to do what had to be done at my home where she would be most comfortable. Pathetic I had to give my dog...

    Lastly- the stem was saved. I don't know why after the vinegar soak it looked "86"'d. I polished it up with Murphys, beeswax, etc. - looks fine and is still hanging in there. All good and thanks for the help.
