New Estates...Darn You Ebay and Bill Me Later!

[branzig]

CURSE YOU BILL ME LATER! :lol:
It keeps making my wallet shrink!
Bored by the blowout of a game last night, I decide to cruise Ebay on my phone while attending a Superbowl party. I have been looking for another 60s or 70s Israeli Masterson to add to my collection. I find a decent looking lot with both a Masterson freehand and what appears to be a Peterson system pipe...little rough but the lot is cheap...sure why not.
I bid thinking I'll lose for sure once the timer clicks down and people see that Peterson in there....Nope. Email notification. You won.
Here's the picture from Ebay...We will see when they show up if I made a stupid impulse buy or got a great deal...Either way can't wait to start restoring em! :mrgreen:

Yeah, that bill me later can be hazardous to your financial health. Hopefully, you will be pleased with your purchase. With a little elbow grease there is some real potential there. But impulse bidding is somewhat hazardous says a veteran of several such purchases.

Well I only paid around 45 bucks. So I should be in the green. Hopefully :lol:

 

[elpfeife]

For that amount you can't lose!

 

[branzig]

Yeah that's what I was kinda thinking too.
Short of there being cracks on the pipe bowls or something...still worried that I won on such a low bid... :?

I like those Mastersons. Comfortable to hold for a long smoke, nice wide bit for easy clenching and easy to maintain.

Cool! The Bronco's poor performance cost me just $25 for a new Scottie pipe stand....

Yeah, I like them a lot too! I have 3 now, this will be my 4th.
