Am I Missing Something About This Cob?

[mikethompson]

?????
Price seems just a tad steep for a cob

 

[olkofri]

Maybe because it's vintage? :?

Even jerks exhibit symptoms of wishful thinking ... and there are plenty of suckers out there biting.

 

[warren]

You just don't want it as much as the guy that buys it does.

 

[ophiuchus]

:lol:

It has a white dot on the stem.

Guys, free shipping!!

 

[davet]

$152, no problem... $12.81 shipping to Canada? No way. 8O

Even if the idea was that it was a collectible and never to be taken from the packaging, this would be a raw deal if I saw one. I am truly a-maized at what pops up on ebay sometimes. That one must be a true uni-corn.

 

[cortezattic]

A-maized, pops. :rofl: ...kernel of truth here?

Shucks, I don't think I can top that one no matter how long I stalk this thread.

That pipe will replace several briars so I think it is worth it

 

[olkofri]

Tempted, but then I'd have to buy a Forever Stem for it, and those are expensive as heck.

I think you would be paying $5 for the pipe and $147 for the package. He can ask what he wants but I can't imagine anybody paying that much for a cob, old or not. I notice that the package has a bar code on it which says it's not even that old. As P. T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

Thanks Mike, but I must cornfess, sometimes they're real corny.

Maybe his wife told him he had to sell it so the high price he figures he can keep it for a while longer
