Sometimes ignorance is bliss.....

Oof. My wallet hurts.

Oof. My wallet hurts.

No temptations for me as I dislike the shapes of nearly every one.

 

[Streeper541]

Only one Pete in the whole bunch. ?

Nice looking pipes though, if you're into those sorta shapes.

 

[sablebrush52]

Well, a bit of something for everyone. There's some items I really like, and there's a lot of stuff you would have to pay me to haul away.

My wallet is safe.

I'm more surprised there IS a Pete!

There's even a Dunhill.

Aargh, got me good eye on one... ?‍

 

[Chasing Embers]

No head turners for me there but you'd think they'd know how to put a stem in a pipe.

I bid on a Pohlmann black blasted egg. I've always wanted to own a Pohlmann. Doubt my bid will stand up.

 

[J-Evverrett]

Maybe someday I’ll have the patience for auctions. There’s some beauties in there for sure.

 

[Rpink53]

Wow there are some impressive pieces. I bid on one

I liked some of the pipes. I am glad to see pipes of this caliber. This encourages carvers to continue the craft.

I also like to see pipes of this caliber. But as a 'guy who makes things', I don't see how having my stuff re-sold at auction for potentially a higher price than I got for it originally with me or mine locked out of those profits is very encouraging.

Quire an eclectic collection, didn’t see any that immediately struck my fancy.

Agreed that most of the shapes were overly fanciful for my collection, but I did end up with a couple wins on more conventionally shaped variations on a bulldog. Both are big pipes, with the Pohlmann weighing in at 75g and the Castello Great Line at 100g.

Most of the pipes at these auctions get snapped up by resellers like Laudisi and Rodrigo from Treasurepipes on eBay.
