There's an unsmoked Rua on Ebay now, at an already ridiculous price. And makes me considering selling mine, which so far, is unsmoked.

I’m not in on the bid, but ridiculous is in the eye of the beholder.
The Rua is the hardest one to find
I almost put that in my cart but then I remembered I don’t have any money
I don't know why so many peeps on here are anti P-Lip, when I go through Peterson Pipes on our online Tobacconists here in the UK more than 50% of Peterson Pipes are Fishtail, this has changed over the last few years, before 80% were P-lips, since Peterson are USA owned you Fishtail fans are being well looked after, as soon as P-lips are mentioned on here you all moan and us poor P-lip fans have to go on the defensive, I smoke both Fishtail and P-Lip and I thank Mr Peterson for inventing the P-Lip, by far the best flavour transmitter.
I bought a few Peterson pipes over ten years ago and it put me off of Peterson for a long time. With this POTY though and having the 1906 pipe of the same model I felt inspired to give them another chance. I have heard they have gotten better since they changed owners and I really like a bunch of their shapes. Just too bad that I didn't pay attention in 2021 because the 2021 POTY is wonderful. Especially with the Rathbone Sherlock Holmes connection.
Anyways, I received the pipe today, very nice tweed sock and I'm happy with how it looks. Just hoping it smokes well also.

2023 Peterson Pipe Of The Year PSB Rua BRAND NEW! | eBay
Number 77 of 1100! (They were numbered of all POY produced, not by finish). The draft hole is centered at the bottom of the bowl. I don't have a scale to weigh this pipe, but I can attest that it is very light weight!

This is the pipe/seller that went for $660 but the buyer failed to pay. (Linwood from the CORPS club is the seller, good guy)See another Rua on Ebay at a good price for those who missed out...

I must not understand some of the nuances of bidding then. If the highest bidder somehow got himself off the hook, why didn't the 2nd highest "win"?
What happens is the “2nd highest” gets an opportunity to buy it.
If the 2nd turns it down because that person was also caught in bidding fever, then it goes back on the block.
