Ebay Steal?

[oakbear]

This is my lastest acquisition, as PAD continues to take hold. (I've been smoking 4 months and have 15 pipes already!
But was it bargain of the year or have i missed something obvious?!
Here it is!
I haven't got it yet, but the seller sent a message saying it'll be sent tomorrow. Maybe people were put off by his low feedback?

Mother of God. You're a lucky lucky man.

At 1st blush I'd think that's in the running for bargain of the year.

Even if we are missing something it still seems a hella nice pipe for the money!

Bargain of the year. I had it on my watch list. But I'm watching a Pete I really want so decided to let go.
Congratulations my friend ! It's good to know it went to someone on the forum here. Let us know when you get it and how it cleans up. It promises to be an excellent purchase :clap:

 

[oakbear]

Well it's fingers crossed at least.

There's no serial no, but he reports it being stamped 21, which makes it 1981, not 'from the 70's'. They weren't made until 1980 though!
Mick i'm glad i didn't have your competition, as that was about my top limit until pay day! Good luck with the Pete!

 

[shaintiques]

Wow that was a steal!

 

[matchstickman]

If that pipe turns out half as good as it looks in the picture, I can assure you that you are likely to never find a bargain like that in this lifetime or in any other. Outstanding find! Way to go!

Congratulations! There was a member here who got a Dunhill from the 30s for $13 at an antique shop. It was beat to hell, but it cleaned up wonderfully

 

[ssjones]

I paid twice that for my '02 Dunhill Cumberland, well done! And, you'll love that way it smokes.

 

[yohanan]

Nothing more to say but this....Excellent Buy. ::

 

[lonestar]

Fancy that! Bleeding Hell, bugger all, its the dogs bollocks! (I think thats British for "what a deal!") :rofl:

 

[tomdavis]

@Mick - Which Pete are you watching...or maybe I do not want to know?

 

[tslex]

Gosh.

 

[smokenscotch]

Wow, good for you!

 

[tab812]

Nice pipe.....

 

[tobakenist]

Dam I missed that one, I'm only 20mls north of MK, I could have saved on the postage :crying:

 

[rigmedic1]

Well, don't waste your money on lottery tickets, I think you are played out for awhile! Great luck man, thats a steal alright.

 

[jaysin]

Good Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! son of a...... i missed thatone

 

[group4]

I have that exact cumberland shape -- and it had a shank repair -- and I paid more!

 

[oakbear]

It's nice to know my newbie status didn't mean i missed something.

I won't celebrate until it's in my hand though!
