So I never get the uber deals. I've gotten good deals, but this one is pretty darn good. I got a 17" Meer for $25. The pictures were blurry, but I tossed in a $25 bid a day before it closed and never looked back. I didn't see I'd won until 2 days after it closed.
Then I noticed it was from a 0 feedback seller with a crazy name. I thought for sure I'd been taken by a chinese con-artist. I paid anyway and lo and behold this arrived today:

There are a few dings in the first section by the mouthpiece, and the draw is sub-par (as they are in most long meers), but I think I did ok for $28.32 shipped. I am going to clean this one and smoke the crap out of it.

Love the auctions where you dont expect to win, then by some miracle no one else bids and you score big. Nice man :puffy:

Bonus: you can keep your pipe, tamper, tobacco, and pipe cleaners in the turban, and the tobacco nannies will never know!

What a neat pipe. I have never seen such a thing. How many sections in the stem? Looks like a convertible... 8O

You did some excellent ebay gambling there buddy! I am always afraid of losing my cash to seller with little or no ratings so I never bid, just window shop. but you made out great on this one!

I will have to remember to bring a couple of my meerschaums with me next time we meet up.

Those turnban carvings are often odd. I have a saxophone pipe, too (mine cost a lot more than your amazing $25!) featuring a man wearing a turban, and mine's looks a bit like cake frosting.
