The Ugly Side of Buying Estate Pipes
Sorry but that was on you - if they gave you the dimensions and you couldn't visualize the size properly, you should have taken some reference measurements of a pipe you already own and compare them. -
The Ugly Side of Buying Estate Pipes
Why not? I mean for example, i personally have almost 0 interest in modern pipes, so where am I supposed to get my pipes from. I think most people when they say Ebay- they mean buying from a random person who happens to have a pipe or two and not someone like Deadmanpipes for example, who does... -

I thought no i might try some of those methods since they all sound not permanent and if I don't like how they look i could just revert to the original.- Dshift

Clay Peterson Repair
So crusher clay from another pipe layered with CA glue would be a bad idea? I was going to test it out on another pipe first of course.- Dshift

Clay Peterson Repair
I need some advice on this pipe. Should i be even attempting to fix the chips on the rim? If yes does anyone have any experience with clay? I have some ideas but I am not sure and I don't want to accidentally damage the pipe even further. I- Dshift

The Ugly Side of Buying Estate Pipes
It wasn't the name that changed his mind , but the fact the he sees pipes on my account and only then was he somewhat convinced that the issues were not simply wear and tear. If I didn't have a seller account I don't think he would have changes his opinion -
The Ugly Side of Buying Estate Pipes
So reason prevailed at the end of the day and got a good an uncomplicated resolution for my problem, but judging from the amount of convincing the seller needed, i somehow doubt that a person with a "regular" ebay account will get the same understanding. Still a bad seller in my opinion.. -

The Ugly Side of Buying Estate Pipes
I am restoring pipes so there are very few issues that are too big and ebay prices are just not comparable to smoking pipes. -
The Ugly Side of Buying Estate Pipes
Yeah about returning - refunds(partial or full) are ok but returns are sometimes too cumbersome, like in this case... I have paid import fees and those are always such a hassle to get back... -
The Ugly Side of Buying Estate Pipes
They basically had 4 or 5 photos - one of all the pipes but just one the good side and q couple of close ups of some stamps -
The Ugly Side of Buying Estate Pipes
After three weeks of waiting for this specific lot to arrive and being all kinds of excited about it, it finally arrived and it's one of the worst surprises i have ever gotten so far. All of the issues were not described and hidden on the listing's photos...😡 Four pipes all together and a nice...
