Keep Your Eye On THIS Auction --- It Will Go Nuclear

[cosmicfolklore]

I'm guessing that the excitement picks up some as it gets closer to the end of the auction.

That is a fantastic trio of pipes. I will guess $4750. Having a cased set like that would be so cool.

We should start a pool. Everyone ante up a new tin and the closest guess wins the pot, er, cellar.

You'd think at this level they could have used something nicer than a terrycloth towel as b/g... And they're used!!

 

[sablebrush52]

I put in a bid of $1.98. Can't believe I got outbid.

Bits do look abnormally large...

Bits do look abnormally large...

@davidy97.

Yes, but I still want them

I think the seemingly large bits on some of the pictures, may also have to do with the usual wideangle perspective distortion. Perhaps they did not use a proper lens for shooting these pipes, as we see so often here and everywhere....

To see all the pictures of the case etc. you have to go to the description page below and if only looking with a mobile OS, then it is not that easy to see all the pictures.

I'm hoping to win the lottery tonight or tomorrow and then I'll place the winning bid. LOL.
I don't care if the bits look a little large, they are still beautiful pipes.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Ooooo, it went up $100 overnight. It's on my watch list. I bet it does get crazy in the last hour... like Game of Thrones crazy, ha ha!! I'll try to have popcorn ready.

We all need a little excitement sometimes. This should be amusing.

 

[rmpeeps]

I’ve set a reminder for the auction end and have my $5 coupon code handy.

 

[elpfeife]

I put in a bid just to say I did. Not much danger of being successful at this level! However, I am tempted to put together a syndicate for a serious effort. I am thinking Embers should be good for it. Anyone else?

 

[oldgeezersmoker]

Provenance would be a plus, but maybe asking Chance privately would provide that. In the early days of eBay, things like this appeared frequently from sources who were totally unknown to the hobby and caused lots of excitement. The economy is strong, the market is more international than it has ever been, and thosee are fine looking pipes from a reputable seller. Certainly over 2K, but I expect an upside breakout. Only takes 2 bidders

 

[canucklehead]

A different sort of dunhill on Ebay, no bidders yet:
dunhill cigs

 

[pappymac]

I looked at the bids. Did the person placing the $3.00 bid really think they were going to win?

 

[jaytex1969]

If you don't like those bits, you can just hit them with a Dremel after you win the auction! :rofl:

 

[Chasing Embers]

Currently cheaper than a couple of yixing containers I have.

 

[crashthegrey]

Yixing is no joke.

 

[jaytex1969]

Just under 10 hours left and just over $1500.
Everyone, don't forget your popcorn for the final 30 minute show tonight...

 

[aquadoc]

We need a betting sheet. $1 per guess entry. I am thinking 2900 is the final selling price.
