With the rarity of the shape among the different savinelli lines, I don't know if that many exist. There is hope with the same lines featuring both the 904 and the 9004.You need a 365+1 day set
Prices on Britwood have plummeted over the last few years, and I agree that it has everything to do with people focusing on buying tobacco. My guess is that prices, on average, have fallen about 30%, based on the tens of thousands of auctions I've followed over the last decade.There was a rather nice patent era one that went for $188.00 earlyer this week on eBay.
Did you see it?
Wow, there was a time this would be unthinkable. All the dollars must be going to vintage tobaccos.
I was tempted enough to place a bid but maxed my bid at less than the winning bid.
I love when this happens. I've offered $100 to Savinelli 904 sellers when one catches my eye. I get declined, the auction proceeds, and I get a new 904 for far less than what I offered.?I had contacted the seller and made him a cash offer when he first listed the pipe. Luckily he declined and I ended up paying considerably less than my offer

Saw that. Falls into my price range as I've only paid more than $30 for three of the entire collection.? Going to keep an eye on that one to see what happens.?If I come across one I’ll let you know. That 904 is only at fifteen bucks though...
Ah, just realized the confusion. Each one is blend dedicated.A 31 day set ladies and gentlemen!!!
And this is the same guy who insists briars need not be rested.

Something about that shape, can't quit buying them.I was just giving you a hard time (as usual lol). I actually agree with you that the briar resting is probably not really necessary. Unless maybe someone is smoking like a freight train.
I love to eBay snipe. It’s like allowing a small child to carry a lollipop around, and then snatching it from him seconds before the first lick. Very gratifying!
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.
