Respect My Procrastination

[Pierre1965]

The nerve of some people! Someone bought the pipe I was looking at . I'd been looking at it for no more than three weeks and was just about to almost seriously consider looking at it more seriously when WHAM! it was gone. I'm sure it was some impulse buyer who had no more than a week invested in this pipe and hadn't even begun to weight the pros and cons to the degree necessary in such a decision. Now I'll have to wait for them to determine it was a rash decision and put it out on the estate market. If you're reading this and bought it; be kind to it. No Lakelands please!

I feel your procrastination pain as I'm still kicking myself for letting this Ardor acorn slip through my fingers at least a year ago or more. The one that got away … I won't make this mistake again.

That is a good looking pipe!

I look at pipes all the time and dream. I read about all the brands that cetch my eye before i can actually afford them. That way when the time comes i look at the ones available and make a short list. Generally sleep on it and if its still there in the morning i pull the trigger. So weeks and months dreaming and 24 hrs to make it happen. Sorry about your loss. I hope you find another pipe to start to seriously consider real soon.

Had an item on the fleabay that I was eyeballing. I was too cheap to pay the difference the saler was asking. Someone had nerve to buy that off the saler for much more coins! I can't believe some people!

The only thing worse than buying a pipe and spending money you shouldn't is having it get away before you hit the buy button.

I think you should be able to call dibs and everyone else has to back away!

That's standard faire for Peder. Another one will pop up. A Lakeland pipe over an English one any day though.

You can message the seller and make an offer even on the "Buy Now" items. I've gotten some really good deals like that.

All my Butz Choquin Handmades (some are Alain Albuisson’s work) were had for roughly $75 a piece unsmoked.

Wish I could say I was the thief........ sorry for your loss brotha. Have had the same issue a few times... it sucks, but the kicking of self does dissipate over time and especially as new beauties come along.

100% been there! The dude who bought it probably has 300 pipes already! What's he even care about a new one!

 

[mingc]

Dude, don't sweat it. There's always another better and more expensive pipe around the corner!

Had the same feelings about Sav.122 Tundra in estates section @SPC not so long ago. They had a discount campaign. "I can sleep on it. This shall wait till morning". Poof! gone

I love your quote by the way. "Gottes Mühlen mahlen langsam, mahlen aber trefflich klein…" I know different people read different meanings into it, but for me it's a reminder of the virtues of patience. I know the irony involved considering this humorous post about taking too long to make a decision, but a lack of patience has been has been one of my greatest hurdles. One of the things I like about smoking a pipe is that to truely enjoy it you need to slow down and have patience. Let the mill do its work.

 

[vates]

Indeed.

That’s why I now buy everything I see.
