Good morning, I have a wonderfull pipe collection recieved from my father who has passed sometime ago. Thought I would let his pipes go so others can enjoy them as he did. He was a phenatic about his pipes. only bought the best and would spen his Naval Academey skills by polishing and cleaning them. Anyways I got curiouse and start tracking down the pipes and realized I was right, that they all seeam to be worth something. Dont know exactly what to do. Tried going to a pipe shop, but it seemed they where alittle out of leauge on what I might have. Any thoughts on how I good sell them would be appricieted. I knjow ebay is an option, but this would take a full time job for me to do one at a time.

redeemedpipes on Instagram is also an option. Pipestud, deadmanspipes, and greatestatepipes on ebay are also very pleasant to deal with.
Most professional buyers or commission sellers only want valuable individual pipes that can be retailed in a short period of time. Cost of cleaning or needed repair should be considered when you are offered about 1/2 of potential sale. Selling as a lot price probably not meet your expectations. E bay sales can be used as a loose guide to get an idea of value. I would recommend small lot sale on this venue, it will require time but result in a higher payout. Good luck.
Good recommendations stated above. If you’ve got a photo of some of the pipes we’d love to see them here.
Some well exposed and focussed photos of a half dozen of his best will help us help you.
I'd prefer to see all out in the open. PM's can lead to misinformation too quickly.
