Was really interested, but the shipping kills the deal or am I being cheap

[rx2man]

I am also trying to decide if I should take the money and buy tobacco instead of another pipe.......

That is steep for shipping, but the bargain-basement price more than makes up for it! :rofl:

 

[pipesmokingtom]

Will they give you a break on shipping if you buy 2? Could always just put the 2nd in the glovebox or something.

 

[puffy]

At such a bargain price whats a few dollars for shipping? It's only money.

 

[cortezattic]

That's top dollar for damaged goods.

I'm a pretty good negotiator. I'm sure I could get the seller to throw in shipping for you!

With some financial aid and student jobs, people have gone to community college and finished at a state university for less than that. Just to keep it in perspective.

I would hate to have opened that box up from the PO. Is the one time you wish you insured it for full value. But then of course it would have arrived just fine.

Yep, $14.33 to my zip code. My max total was 18,014.33. $.33 may not same a lot compared to the total, but a man has to draw the line somewhere. Pax

oh my, the exchange rate would have to be awesome... really freakin awesome

That pipe must have four threads on it, they've been trying to sell it for a year. I'd hit it with some tripoli to take that paint off.

 

[mrenglish]

That is a good point, Al. I wonder how that would do with just regular buffing with carnuba wax?

 

[okiescout]

They say that price can be set by what the market is willing to bear....looks like the market is bare. Boy, that must be some really expensive paint.

 

[rx2man]

@ ssjones, that would be a great piece for your rebornpipes site.

 

[rx2man]

And I thought the pipe was expensive. $155k for a fountain pen. Crazy thing is if they are making stuff like this someone is buying them, UAE.......

@rx2man: You are right,I've been looking for a pipe to practice my rustification skills.
