The One That Got Away...

[hans]

I am kicking myself this morning.

I had my eyes on this nice Savinelli Autograph estate pipe on the ebayzzzz and i slept right through my alarm this morning.

looks like the person that won got quite a deal. It was probably one of you guys!
KICKING MYSELF!!!

Well it wasn't me, but I'm in the same boat as you lately with the 'Bay. No luck at all.

I usually don't get upset when i lose on there but this one was exactly the style i want. I doubt i'll find a deal that good again any time soon.

 

[captainprophesy]

Wasent me either... but I saw that one too and its beautiful.

I hate when you lose auctions that you could of won.

 

[hans]

I used to esnipe all the time but just totally forgot about it. Good point.

Perhaps next time you will win something you like even better. That is normally my experience when I loose an item I have bid on.

Mike, welcome to the forums and that has to be the best first post ever. I didn't expect anyone to admit they were the one that got that deal. Neat!
Cheers!

Agree! That is an awesome first post. How did you find this thread? congrats on the new pipe. Sorry Hans. There are more fish in the sea.
:lol:

 

[mikenickerson]

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

@rotschefeller The crazy thing is I typed in Savinelli Autograph pipe Dublin Freehand in Google image and saw a picture and was like that's my new pipe and then saw this thread and since I haven't joined any forums yet I decided to join this one
@rothnh I have been watching Ebay like a hawk for 2 months strait for the right one. never thought i would have ever bought one so early in my pipe smoking career.

Sorry again hans

Great score Mike. Welcome aboard. You'll find this is a great bunch of people to hang out with.

Dear mike, I hate you. Just kidding. I only my hate myself for literally sleeping in this.

I will cry into my cobs for the rest of the night.
I saw that other pipe too. It is in much worse shape and MUCH more expensive just to start the auction.

:'(

 

[mikenickerson]

I know exactly how you feel as i have done the same many times in the past.

I agree the bowl wasn't as nice but I'll keep an eye out for you.

 

[hans]

Thanks pal!

Thanks everyone.

Is there a new member section so I don't keep stealing hans thread. Also how do I change my profile picture? Is it supposed to be a certain size or ?
