I'm not affiliated with this seller in any way.

But he has a LOT of very nice pipes in that price range.

I'd look long and hard at those Radice Silk Cuts.

And a Ser Jacopo Modica for $88 ????? Wow.

Now, dont buy 10 of them, then blame me. I only told you to buy one

Wallbright Said: Wow the mods are really delete happy around here. Mine and a few others who posted asking for pictures got their posts deleted.

Just like Bubba said; I see no deleted posts from you or anyone else for that matter. There are not even any in the spam folder, are you sure that you posted any?
Why would we delete a post that ask for pics? That makes no sense.
Actually we are not "Delete Happy" around here, we do the least amount of moderating here on PM than any other forum that I know of. The only posts that get deleted are SPAM posts, duplicate posts, and political posts.

So if I post a message for Republican Housewives Tupperware parties that's pretty sure to get deleted. Especially if I post it a couple times.

lonestar, those prices are great, especially on those Radices!
Estate pipe pricing is a funky subject. I'm amazed to see the dichotomy of estate pipe mind sets out there. It seems like there are some very active sellers who understand todays market isn't what it was 5 years ago and that the premiums have shifted and price accordingly. Then there are the old timers who think their non-collectible collectible should still get super premium pricing. I can't get to wait to get to the Chicago show and see how the pricing as a whole has shifted from last year.

Let us know what you find at the show Hauntedmyst!

Hauntedmyst, I am with you on that.

I have never seen a new Ser Jacopo from a dealer selling that low. These are $200+ pipes !

I bought an awesome Ser Jacopo Hawkbill from him two months ago for Buy It Now of $150.

A couple years ago that would have easily been a $250 pipe, and out of my price range.

But I think most pipemakers in general are having to drop prices, and make up for that in volume.

Its a great time to be a pipe smoker !
