Pipestud Site Crash

[Puffaluffaguss]

I've been searching for a blend sense the beginning of the year (first run Stonehenge Flake) finally was able to get it this morning well I got the confirmation so fingers crossed. Buuutttt there was a pound or maybe 5 pound bag of 5100 red cake for $1,200 I went back to home page to try and buy it but the site was down. It's never happened on pipestud sense I've been going there. Was the 5100 the cause who knows but I hope everything is OK.

You were willing to pay $1,200 for a pound of 5100? If so, let me know, I have a couple of pound.

It happens occasionally. Just one of life's burden we have to bear.

That podcast must have created a rush!

Looks like it's back up now.

The site has always been a little…eccentric. It’s also been a target from time to time.

You might have dodged a bullet with that 5lb bag of 5100. 18 years in a clear plastic bag? It’s either mummy dust or been rehydrated. Clear plastic doesn’t keep contents from drying out, generally within a couple of years.

It was the 5 pound and yes I am willing to pay, unless your offering for free. I mean I never say no to free lol.

So, somewhat over $200/pound. OK!

 

[Puffaluffaguss]

Yup and it sold as fast as it was put up. I'm betting it's for a collection not to smoke, but hey you never know. Somebody might want a $10 bowl someday. Or If your @Chasing Embers maybe a $50 bowl to start the day off right in a $3000 pipe. Man people just have way too much disposable income.

Yep, and little to nothing saved for retirement.

Embers doesn't "spend" on tobaccos. Pipes are different. The man's got taste.

 

[Puffaluffaguss]

Thats why I guess it sold huh, people have specific tastes and that 5100 surely tickled someone's fancy this morning. I probably wouldn't have pulled the trigger but I was gonna give it the Ole finger hover for a good couple heart beats lol it sold before 1 heart beat

That works out to $240 a pound which is rather astounding. I can remember buying a 5 pound bag around 2000 for $36 per pound if memory serves me correctly.

 

[sablebrush52]

Considering it's been going for around $400 a pound, not a bad price. But that clear plastic bag...pass.

The tin I purchased was a 2oz tin of the first run of Stonehenge Flake from 2001 which was $85+8 for shipping. For 5 pounds of Stonehenge of this vintage would be about $5,000 So it's not that absurd its just alot of money for something that could have been had at a fraction of the price if I was born 10 years sooner. In 01 I would have been all of 10 years old. I'm just happy I can afford it for 1 and even purchase for that matter.

Site is back ok, so this discussion of specific buys can be moved elsewhere.
