This one seems to have some interest. I really like the coonskin cap.

Good grief! Think of how many UA's you could buy for that kinda money. :lol:

That's not a bad price if you think about it. A 7 set Dunhill for $6,000. Sometimes a single Dunhill costs that much or more. To get a nice case that locks to boot sweetens the deal a lot. I doubt all the couches in my neighborhood would have enough loose change to pay for it though lol. Still out of the price range, but a great set none the less.

I'm a total sucker for almost ANYTHING in a fitted wooden case, and this is a very nice set but I just don't think the market is there. There just aren't a whole lot of pipe enthusisasts who are going to spend 6 grand.
When I see these sorts of things, I think "how much WOULD I spend?" I finally figured I'd go $300 per pipe plus $100 for the box, so that's $2200. I doubt the seller would accept my offer (thankfully!)

You gotta love a pipe whose price tag is a plaque you can hang on the wall :rofl:

The coonskin cap is a nice touch though.

 

[tobakenist]

I don't even like the pipes never mind the price. :crazy:

 

[uberam3rica]

Just $5,990? I'll write him a check, he might have to wait a while to cash it though :nana:

 

[jchaplick]

5990? I think I can do that, hold let me just check my couch cushions....... dollar eighty three....damn

That's a very nice set. Considering the pipes included and everything, I'm of the same thinking as bigvan. The asking price is about $3k too high. The set is made up mostly of blasted Dunhills, which seem to go anywhere from $200 to $300 a piece. The smooth ones a bit higher. I can't imagine actually using the padded case on a daily basis either.
Seems to be aimed at the collector. Doubt it'll sell. Sure is nice to daydream though

I wonder how "ultra rare" that set really is? The box could have came from anywhere and you can get a "Dunhill London" plaque piece made at the local engraver in the mall. The pipes are probably in the $300-$500 range, tops and rather pedestrian for Dunhills (I bet a pre '82 would be more desireable and worth that asking price) I bet those goes unsold. That seller has a pretty good reputation.

Love the smooth tan billiard and the dress rhodesian. I adore Dunhills but the price they command is too rich for my blood. I'm sure I will buy a couple more over the course of my life but it will only be when the price is just right.

 

[nsfisher]

our administrater is a big dunhill fan i believe, maybe he will c the thread and shed some light on the total worth.

Jesus... I mean... this is the price of a car. Honestly, when it gets to this point it has nothing to do with smoking. Whoever ends up owning them probably won't even smoke them because hell be afraid of ruining their collection value or something. This is just beyond my comprehension.

 

[dylan793]

@Dimm welcome to the world of high-end pipes, leave your wallet and bank account info at the door :lol:

 

[ssjones]

Jesus... I mean... this is the price of a car.

Agreed, a 4-digit price tag usually means an internal combustion engine for me, two or four wheels. But it starts and preferably DOES NOT smoke!

 

[igloo]

A very nice set for someone with the means . I think Van hit the nail on the head with his price estimate .

 

[mluyckx]

That's a semester of college for one of my kids... hmm.....
"Honey ?? How about xxxxx pays for college herself next semester ?"
*Fwap* (sound of my wife throwing the first available projectile my way)
I don't think so then.

 

[nsfisher]

agreed to all comments hahahah, a set like that is nice to have, to look at, but really not a case of a pipe smoker, more of too much money with no place to put it.

 

[briarbird]

Wow, what a set, and price tag to boot! Beautiful pipes, I love the look of that root briar.
