Oh boy, good find! Potential Oportunity.

I just was farting around, and walked into a local news shop, i saw that they had pipe tobacco, so i asked to see if they had any pipe, the sweet old lady that was the owner pulled out a dusty box full of pipes, grabows, kaywoodies, medicos, mr brogs, and yelloboles, all from the 60's and 70's. They are not in the best shape, but easily made nicer, all with pricetags of about 20 bucks. The lady me two for half off each, I am tempted to ask if i can buy the whole box (about 50-75 pipes) for 100 bucks.
How sweet is that find?!??

Nice! Those are lucky finds when you can get em

 

[jchaplick]

Yeah, i may go back next week and make the offer, glad to see your okay baskerville

 

[dburrows]

Bob - you're back online?!?
edit: sorry, not meant to hijack, just surprised.

If you can get em' for around $10 bucks each I'd think a box of NOS like that could return a profit. Plus you'd likely find a few for yourself.

Gentle cleaning and get the stems all black and shiny and it's eBay time!

In the next week, im going to offer the lady 100 for the whole, box, maybe she'll negotiate. Then id have to do some work, but could most definitley make a profit.
Never sold anything on ebay, so ill have to figure that out first

I'd make the offer to her. Good luck!

Yes, Bob's back! Hallelujia! Jchap- Go buy that stuff and post pix ASAP!!!

 

[jchaplick]

Sorry guys, couldnt work out a deal with her, honestly i cant figure out why but what can you do, ill just stick to cheap pipes at a discount

 

[olderthandirt]

Try her out again in a month or so.

Now that she's had an actual offer, the more time goes by if she still hasn't sold any your offer may start looking good!

Exactly what i was thinking
