Utimate Cure for PAD???

[Sharp_tungsten]

Well gentlemen and ladies, I think I found the ultimate cure for my PAD. Not being familiar with high end briars can anyone explain this while I talk to my loan officer?

There is no cure for PAD. Treatment is temporary and only partially effective.

However, 43,000 for a pipe is... probably a little outside market expectation.

Kind of what I was thinking but is Ashton the ultimate pipe or something?

I donno man i think every pipe has the potential to be a good smoker or not, no matter the price or material. I am no expert though. Ashtons are probably the ultimate for people that love the high that spending money gives you.

That pipe...

There are cheaper ways to smoke a ghosted pipe than spending that much money.
A tin of puke- ridden peterson's connoisseurs choice doesn't cost very much.

The guy is looking for the right buyer for a "special" pipe. I really like high end pipes but this one is a little too much.

Every now and then I'll make an eBay pipe search based on highest price, just to see what delusional grifts are currently taking place. I saw this one and read the sales pitch, which adds to the amusement.

I may be going out on a limb here, but I predict that the pipe doesn't sell at that price. I know, I know, I could be proven wrong, but I figure it's a safe bet that if the pipe does sell I'll still be seen as the far lesser of two fools.

Allowing for inflation, the pipe may well sell for that amount sometime toward the end of the 22nd century. Stay tuned.

I think that pipe is not worth no more than 400-500.00 tops.

Without doing the math, I think Ashtons are up-market, but a fraction of what new White Spots cost, which for the most part don't sell for ten of thousands. So the thinking may be to net some daffy dot-com millionaire who doesn't know pipes, or just to net a rich buyer who will bid high, but not the asking price. There is that upper one percent who simply have more money than they can spend, investments and all, so will write a check for crazy sums, the way you might spend too much on a car you like. Lots of trust fund people out there.

The best cure for PAD is to only buy pipes with Vulcanite stems and eventually you will spend more time maintaining them than smoking them, which makes no sense.

Death is the only cure for PAD.

For that price, they should include a complimentary subscription to a dating website, a flask, and maybe a fleshlight too, because to buy it, one is basically swapping a marriage for a pipe. It's the least they could do. A really ambitious buyer might also be able to haggle part of the retainer for the divorce lawyer out of the seller, but you'd have to be a top-notch negotiator to get that much, I would think. Hey, they're accepting offers...just start with the whole package, and go from there. And do not let them cheat you out of your hard-earned fleshlight (no pun intended).

I wonder if they take bitcoin...?
