Far to pricey for me, but a beautiful set.

It looks cheaper in Euros.

That is the blandest collection of briar I've seen on a $2,000 pipe and across the board. (Assumes a $1,00 case. )

You really want superior smokers when paying around the price of a drop dead gorgeous S. Bang.

I'd like to think the reason we can't see stunning grain is because of the crappy pictures

 

[dryseason91]

I'd be willing to stick my neck out and say I've rarely been much impressed by the grain on any of the Dunhills I've seen in photos, including those breaking the 1000 bucks/quid/yoyos mark. Then again I still have a noob's glass eye for these things.

I would ask for better pictures. From what I can see, for the money, that set looks totally underwhelming IMHO. I went and looked at the bigger pictures and I'm just not that impressed for Dunhills. They just don't pop for me.

 

[dragonslayer]

To be honest from what I see in the grain is mostly Birdseye and horizontal. I'd bet most artisans today would sandblast these briars after shaping.

The buyer is obviously going after a premium for an unsmoked set. I don't see anything extraordinary about them. Certainly not $15,000 worth. But for someone who wants "pride of ownership" these might have appeal.

Nice grain on the box though.

Nice grain on the box though.

Funniest thing i've read this month - brilliant.

I agree with sablebrush. A rookie ebay seller as well, doomed from the start.

What is a realistic price on that set, if sold by a reputable seller? $7k?

 

[kcghost]

I can't imagine that set going for $15K, but you never know. For something in this price range you would like to see it coming from one of the most trusted of eBay pipe sellers.

 

[lqjones]

I'll bet anything he ain't going to get 15,000. LMAO on the nice grain on the box, though. The box grain IS nicer than the actual pipes!

 

[petes03]

Whew, 15 grand! I don't think so!

 

[rockymtnsmoker]

Think priced at 15K I might check those pipes for crack residue. Yikes!

 

[flmason]

Coopersark awhile back sold on Ebay a boxed set of Dunhill pipes. I wonder if this might be the same set. If I recall the final price was greater than 10k. It might have been 15k.

I'll stick my Boswells, which I love dearly.

I was going to offer $1400, but forgot my Ebay password.
