Understood. Who did the repair, from your photo, I can't see any damage at all!Ref: 8 Dot, with repair. It is the same one, Al. I was commissioned to repair it and sell it by a good friend and fellow forum member. He did just fine

Thanks, Al. I did the repair/restore. In person and up close, the repair is not invisible. You can see a trace of the old injury in the last photo. I was sure to mention that in the item's description.
Bids like this make me question the assumption of classical economics that people act out of their own self interest.
Was this the repaired pipe, that was shown on page 116? I think it did quite well here:

$500+ for a pipe with a glued up bowl…
This has to be some kind of record for a Loewe, but what a pipe!
The bid history is interesting, suggesting that one bidder either retracted out or was kicked out.

Quite possibly. It's also possible that Todd recognized the bidder as one of those bidders who screwed with a couple of his auctions a few months back. In any case, the winner certainly was determined, as indicated by his bid history.
I’m obviously an eBay chump. I don’t even know the mechanics of retracting a bid.
I was going to take a shot at this Barling's Fossil. The one thing that gave me pause was the stem. The poor photos only show it might have had the stem stamp. The button doesn't look Barlings like to me as well. But at close to $300, I had to pass. I believe the stamping was from the 1962 or earlier era.

That is some truly terrible photography. In spite of that, someone had to have it and overpaid for it. We live in amazing times.I was going to take a shot at this Barling's Fossil.

I had placed a bid on this but it was cancelled and then sold privately (I assume). @rustiepyles was going to send it to you for a project. Oh well it’s the thought that counts right

Yes but I have modest expectations about its suitability as a smoking pipe given the crack and "mend" to the amber. I got it more for historical interest. Had it been in perfect condition I've no doubt it would have sold for a much higher price.
