OK...I'm pleasantly surprised...I had one of my best Authors for sale in Chicago for $255...which I typically sell to guys on this forum for $235. A dealer in Chicago bought 3 pipes at wholesale and auctioned my Author on Ebay... and it sold for $308....I never thought EBay was a good route for pipe makers- I just changed my mind!....and did anyone on the Forum pick it up? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-UNSMOKED-ZACK-HAMRIC-MORTA-BOG-OAK-WIDE-CHUBBY-AUTHOR-American-Estate-Pipe-/401335866327?hash=item5d717b53d7%3Ag%3AtbQAAOSwYvFZKh%7E1&nma=true&si=V%252BL47ZrJXpbEpSdZQ%252FLwv5ipF34%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
