I Just Did a Very Bad Thing... (SFW)

[yohanan]

Rob, you didn't do anything bad, you done very very good. Congratulations to your bad self on your acquisition!!! ::

 

[lawmax3]

Congrats, before you know it you will have 75 or 80. ::

Bad thing? $36... I call that a deal. Congrats! I don't call it PAD, I firmly believe you need at least 100 pipes in rotation. You know, for different blends and proper pipe resting.

Nice purchase Rob...enjoy!

Heh, I know what type of guy I am.
I'm pretty certain I'm one of those "hundred pipes" kind of guys.
I'm not a collector, but I do tend to follow my passions to the fullest. I've developed a real passion for pipe smoking.
@pipestud
Isn't your comment kind of like a drug dealer showing up at a party and patting everyone on the back that's getting high

And btw pipestud, for some reason I keep imagining that if you shaved you would look just like that dude in the candy store in the original Willy Wonka movie that sold Charlie the golden ticket.
In my head I keep hearing "The eBay man can" to the tune of "The candy man can".

Good work!

I may still hate E-bay, but that looks to be a good deal.

You are now on the edge of a psychological addiction. You will find yourself thinking about that next auction at the most inopportune times. Visions of pipes will enter your dreams. You will learn about snipers, and then become one. You will start getting Pipestud's weekly email. You will eventually get a pipe that needs to be restored, and that will lead to equipment, supplies and hours of concentrated effort to get it "just right". The slope is slippery, and you are already sliding....

A very nice score indeed! Enjoy.

Welcome to our addiction machine!

That is "Fairfax" rack, I have several of those. I dig the Eagle topped lid!

 

[ivapewithfire]

Trust me. Pipestud and others had me nailed.
I just won my second auction... It's a no-name pipe, but I got it for less than $12 shipped.
As a matter of fact, my wife walked into the room and said "Are you buying something?"
I said "Yea another pipe".
She said "Don't you have enough pipes?"
I answered with "Yeah, I did yesterday."

Congratulations Rob!

I have found it best to keep the wife out of some details. 8)

I didn't even pick up on everything in the description because it wasn't in the picture.
a decorative porcelain dish, a reamer, 2 tampers
That part was a complete surprise when I read it here. I went back and checked the description, sue enough there it is!

You got so much stuff that you didn't know everything you got. LMAO to your icing on the CAKE
GOOD JOB ... I am Happy for your Happyiness

Between your thread title and the experienced guitarists thread I'll be playing this in my head all day long!

What a haul. No telling on the pipes before you see them, but French factory pipes are among the best going, usually

way above their price in quality, so you may have some real work horses, or even some distinguished briars. You have

to be selective not to crowd your life with too many ebay "wins," but these are a good thing, I think.

My wife put me on allowance plan about 20 years ago (the only reason we have good credit).
I'm out for the month.

Guilty as charged. I just can't seem to help myself.

LOL! - Well, I just watched the movie again after reading your comment and yes, is was a quite handsome fellow, wasn't he? :D
