Legit Dunhill on Ebay??

[sablebrush52]

It's a legit Dunhill to the extent that any Dunhill from that period is a legit Dunhill. Dunhill was always doing a lot of outsourcing. Doesn't mean it will or won't be a superb smoker.
My suggestion is that you do what you want, despite the opinions of a lot of virtual companions (me included).

I weighed the risk of paying 200.00 for a piece of crap vs some unscrupulous piper stealing my prize before I posted this. If I can't trust random people on the internet..well,.. that's a world I don't want to think about.

crash : I hear ya, but if I posted hey xyz.com has 8 oz. bags of Stonehaven or Penzance for sale for $40 (like I saw last week when I got an email alert), they would all get bought in less than 5 minutes. As it is, I missed them anyway. Next time I'll be quicker on the draw.
My auction strategy is decide what I am willing to bid on a pipe first, then either enter my high bid immediately or wait until the very end and enter same amount. Hasn't seemed to matter too much either way for my bid results.
Only on rare rare occasion do I think I got a great deal.

alan73, you make a very valid point when it comes to tobacco, especially.

The mid-90's was NOT the highpoint for Dunhill pipes. George nails it.

Here's a 62 Dunhill (as advertised) that had promise.
