My Kijiji Add is Going to Pay Off Again

[nsfisher]

As many of you know, I get quite a few hits from my Kijiji Add that runs constantly. Here is a reply I just recieved via it, only minutes ago. Now I am not sure what exactly a "Stanwell Year Pipe" is, so I guess I have to go now and do some reasearch.

Hi, just saw your ad. I have 10 or 12 lightly used pipes, six or seven Stanwell year pipes. These year pipes were rather expensive as I'm sure you know. I've given up smoking and wouldn't mind selling these pipes for a reasonable price. Just curious as to wether you'd be interested in them, i can email you photos direct if you are.

I assume those year pipes are kind of like the christmas dunhills. Every year a set amount of "pipe of the year" is released and so it's pricier because it's rarer... that's just my guess though haha

 

[nsfisher]

He is sending me pictures via e-mail, when I get the pics, I will post them here and hopefully ya'll can help me out with the approx. worth of them.

It doesn't hurt to ask for a price, if nothing else...
I agree, though, the Stanwells will probably be pretty expensive.

Man you are always finding those estates! Hopefully you can get a good price. The guy seems like he knows a little about pipes so like Dave said they will probably cost a little more.

Thanks herbinedave, for the link. I am not much on converting $$ but it looks like about $50.00 each, on average.

Kijiji Add... Pardon my ignorence...What is that??

 

[nsfisher]

It is a huge buy/sell/trade advertisement site. Nova Scotia wide.

 

[photoman13]

Basically Canada's craigslist I believe.

 

[photoman13]

Oh is it just Nova Scotia?

 

[lonestar]

Pretty cool man, congrats on finding some cool stuff !

 

[nsfisher]

Oh is it just Nova Scotia?

I honestly don't know mate. I never tried to look elsewhere other than Nova Scotia. I would put the link up here for you but I think it may be against Forum Rules.

 

[photoman13]

I live in the states so it doesn't matter.

You're on fire with that add nsfisher. I hope the seller is not expecting too much.

 

[nsfisher]

I am too captiansousie, but I am afraid it is going to be a substantial piece of coin.

 

[weezell]

Thanks fisher..Also glad to hear things went well for you on your bi-op.Been through it and it wasn't fun.God Bless you and yours my friend!Dave

 

[sparroa]

Is he adamant about selling them as a lot or will he break up the collection?

Hey NS Stanwell is still producing a pipe of the year each year. They have a silver plate with the year on them. Most of the pipes are not especially collectable but they seem to smoke well. I have a few, they are nice if you want to remember a special event from that year. I have a 2000 pipe of the year. It smokes well. The pipes retail in Canada for between $80-$100 bucks depending on the style and shape. Some years seem to be more popular than others. If he has a 1999 let me know I would be willing to buy it from you. Had a kid in 1999 and still haven't got a pipe of the year for that year.
Cheers Mate,

[nsfisher]

Will do mate. At this time, I don't have any more info than the e-mail message I posted. I replied back to him, so hopefully by tomorrow night I will know a bit more, and have some pics as well.

Kijiji is in most cities across the country. I've never thought of placing an ad (a great idea BTW), but I check the local kijiji once in awhile. Type in 'pipe' and for the most part I get 40 hits for plumbing supplies,and maybe one or two pipes or racks. I've never bought anything, but again, placing an ad is a great idea...
