My best ebay score

[cigrmaster]

I had been watching this Steve Morrissete( American Artisan) pipe that I really liked the look of on ebay. I had seen it at an online estate dealers place for a while as new but it was over my price threshold. I start to watch the auction and there is no action at all on it, so with about 10 seconds left I sniped it with a winning bid of 128.00, shipping was 11.00 so I own it for 139.00. When I had seen it on that other site it was going for 475.00. The guy who sold it only smoked it a couple of times and I can still see mostly naked bowl. I love the way it smokes and it is light as a feather at 29 grams. It is a large group 4 and I have dedicated it to vaper flakes.

Congrats! Way out of my ballpark even at that price, but a nice pipe indeed. Beautiful stem.

You lucky dog! How are you guys getting all these steals is beyond me - but happy for you nonetheless!

What a beautiful pipe. I'm sure it will provide you many happy smokes.

 

[mthanded]

Wow. Beautiful grain and well proportioned. I like the way it flows from bowl to stem. It pays to be patient sometimes.

Congratulations Harris
Your new pipe is beautiful. I like the grain pattern and the extra inlay of wood by the bit. I hope you enjoy smoking it for many years.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.
Bradley, can't wait to see your new Tinsky. I have heard they are very good smokers.
MP, yes that is a Cumberland stem. It is one of the things that caught my eye, I love those things.
six, I got lucky that everyone was sleeping on this. I think the seller may have tagged it poorly because there were only like 7 bids total. It sat at one price for over 5 days.

Good on you Harris. I've been avoiding ebay to stave off temptation! lol

Beautiful pipe . Enjoy many bowls of cheer .

 

[docwatson]

Congrats, that's a fine pipe from a very meticulous and talented maker as you already know. I spoke with Steve last weekend at the Las Vegas pipe show where he had some beautiful pipes on his table. I love the shank treatment and the brindle stem work.

Thanks guys.
philo, to truly be a master of the bay, one needs discipline, focus,an innate ability to see inside your opponent, and then most of all,a fast connection for sniping.
