S. Bang $6,250.00 Blowfish on smokingpipes

[saltedplug]

Completely off the scale of any known reality and quietly obscene. So of course I want it. Need to start robbing old ladies.

You’ll get no competition from me!

For the pipe or the old ladies' purses?

That looks like a lot of bucks for the Bang.

If Jess Chonowitch had made it it'd be another $2-$3K.

It's nice to post a photo of the subject.
Thank heavens I don't like that shape, even at 1/100th the price.

The problem with commenting on the picture is scale... it’s really six feet long and will hold a small trash can. ::

Love the pun, and it gets my vote for the post of the month!
Fortunately I can only imagine the violent bangs of Mrs. W. if I were to buy that Bang.

Thomas : my brain must be working slow , I didn’t see the pun in sables post. Agreed very funny post.

A bit plain for a blowfish, but love the grain.

Finally, something I can put on my wish list. It will only take the next 60 months for me to save up enough to buy it. Ah hell, why wait? I think I'm going to take out a bank loan. Interest is good on bank loans, right? Absolutely absurd. :crazy:

My kind of humor. :lol:

The estate value of Bangs doesn’t justify the price. I have watched many bang auctions, the estates almost never go over 1k. I don’t get it.

 

[9mmpuffer]

not a lot of Bang for your buck.
someone will buy it, personally I think the price is silly. If it wasn't a bang, it wouldn't even turn my head at $300

I think the profile picture is the worst view of this pipe. The other pictures at SP show the details in the shaping.

I'd buy it if it didn't have a bowl coating. That just ruins a new pipe for me. Bummer!

I liked the email I got about them coming in.
Those prices are very steep, but if someone pays then good for them!

 

[danish]

I am naturally not that good at English but I am not stupid, so when Barling Jesse recommends a best buy!
Wait, where did I put that credit card...

It seems like the older estate Bangs go for a lot less than the more recently made ones. Pulver's Briar has a bunch listed right now, including one unsmoked for $3450. The least expensive there is about $1200. I think the range he has on his site right is a good sampling of the Bang price spectrum.
