No worries. Emotion is generally a bad thing when it comes to my buying habits.
No gambling involved with what I do. I throw what I'm willing to pay in the last seconds. Yay if on the low, no surprise if it reaches my max.?I need to get you on a poker table. I love people that bet with their heart.

same here..No gambling involved with what I do. I throw what I'm willing to pay in the last seconds. Yay if on the low, no surprise if it reaches my max.?
bigtime.. one of my biggest problemsMajor shopaholic myself. Nothing like the rush of a purchase.❤
I see auctions like that all the time... high bids with no sense.Here's an example of my situation. I collect Ben Wade pipes, among others, and I've always wanted one of those fabulous but hard to find French goose-neck bents. They rarely come up for auction. The shank is also cracked, and the seller mistakenly posted it as a Danish pipe.
Out the door the price climbed to $140. Literally after just a few days.
Now, what's "sniping" on an item like that going to look like? I'm still following it out of morbid curiosity but I can't conceivably bid on a pipe that, to my mind, is actually probably worth no more than $140.
Here be the link.
Interesting pipe. By the shape along I'd have said Kriswill. What year is it?Yep, $26 and unsmoked before it got to me.
There was a rather nice patent era one that went for $188.00 earlyer this week on eBay.One of my favorites of the hundreds I've seen was a Sasieni Viscount Lascelles, a solid $600 pipe at the time, that went from a little over $300 to $2800
I've picked up nine or ten more since that photo was taken.
They went unsmoked for a few years, so yep, clutter. Plus, three 904/9004s fit in the area occupied by either meer.And yet those poor lonely 2 or 3 meers got designated as "clutter".
Savinelli Punto Oro 904 with Vulcanite instead of acrylic. I have a problem with them.?

They don't need rest, I just like the shape. There will be more than thirty-one if I find more from different lines, or the elusive 914.A 31 day set ladies and gentlemen!!!
And this is the same guy who insists briars need not be rested.
