Hi Paul,
Sky rocketing high ? I think it is a fair price. It is a somewhat rare shape , the pipe is in fine condition
and from a good period.

About what I would expect for an eBay auction. eBay pipes usually come at somewhat of a premium. Unless you stumble onto a sleeper.
$291 for a 69 Dunhill isn’t a bad price considering the condition.

The mediocre sandblast aside, the condition and shaping of this pipe makes the final price very reasonable for a Dunhill from this period.
30 years ago, when dollars bought far more than they do today, I could pick up a similar pipe for about the same amount of dollars.
Yes, nice grain! But clearly not a 1960’s pipe as the nomenclature shows. The Deluxe COM stamp didn’t change from “London Made” to “Made in England” until the factory’s move to Shoeburyness in 1974.

???ENGLISH ANTIQUE PIPE: IMPERIAL ITC - 1911 | eBay
IMPERIAL ITC. Pipes described as unsmoked have been inspected and polished. For years John's' display table at the Chicagoland International Pipe and Tobacco Exposition has displayed by far the richest trove of estate pipes at the event.

I was tempted, but decided not to dip my toe in. And to make sure I didn't weaken at the last moment, I jumped into the car to visit the local wine store.
I saw it, but I’m glad you scored it.Scored this one for $26 tonight

I saw skyrocketing high when Jesse sent me a link to a Pre-Transition Barling that was over $700 with days to go, and then again today when I saw a Mike Butera go for almost $700. That was wild as the pipes I’ve seen from him seem to go between $400-$500. You veteran eBay users have probably seen much crazier.
I used eBay back in the 2000s when I was in high school to buy vintage rock t-shirts. (Surprisingly, they haven’t gone up too much in price.) And of course, I now use eBay again to check out estate pipes, but have only bought a few.

That is a great snag! I'm not sure, but the makers mark looks like William Harrison, who was a high quality maker. Most of his output that I've seen were calabashes.Scored this one for $26 tonight

Mine provide a wonderful cool smoke and an absolute pure tobacco taste; lightning them can be a challence and taking them for a walk down the lane takes too much unwanted attention
In the garden accompanied by a good brew and a book nothing beats them .
That is to say imho.
Wow! Someone really wanted that pipe!Nice and rare 1927 dunhill churchwarden and I was outbid .

It seems to me that it is a sellers market currently for certain makes, with prices up significantly in the past 3-6 months.
Has anyone else noticed this trend ?
Yeah, it seemed to pick up during the months of the lockdown. I guess people had more time and more money to indulge in things like vintage pipes. Just a couple of years ago we were talking about how soft this market was. It's still not what it was 8-10 years ago, but really nice pieces command higher prices.
Yes, I wanted it but not at all costs. It is really nice and in fine condition including the rare box.
It is cool that it has its box and papers. Those are rare. I can't really tell about condition in part to the fumed stain combined with the dark photography. No telling how high it could have gone. The winning bidder simply put in an amount and walked away, allowing others to hit his iceberg.
Ugh! I never know whether it's a guy who doesn't know how to shoot a pipe, or a guy who does and uses underexposure and specular highlights to hide things.
Here's one of the pics with shadows brought up a bunch. Still can't tell a whole lot.
