What Did I Just Get Myself Into

[bayareabriar]

I just sent an offer and it was accepted on his lot. Kind of an impulse, but eh. What do we know about the 2 cased BBB pipes?

I bought the lot for the red BBB poker. Was thinking of a lucite stem for the Native one.

For $9.99, how far wrong can you go? There might be something in there worth less than ten bucks. I'd just want to get ready to pitch the items you won't use. Clutter can multiple.

It looks like you'll have three pipes that don't need stems, and may be smokable now. I think you have made out.

The BBB briar looks hopeful, but the Meer is in bad shape.

$200 for the lot.

The red poker is from 1908 and isn’t it an ox blood meer/ goudron? Stunning.

the uncased meerschaum eggy looking one has a nice vibe about it, and the cased bulldog is an early comoys. Definitely get a stem for that bad boy.

Bad news: the seller didn’t ship and refunded me. She said they were cracked. I ask for more photos and told her I may take my chances. but I think she had sellers remorse. Lame.

And you will immediately strike her from your "buy from" list.

I notice that the item is relisted for $425

Damn that's some bull. Can you report someone for doing that?

 

[bayareabriar]

Eh. All good. It wasn’t meant to be. I would have restemed the briar one and kept the oxblood bbb and given the native one away to someone here who wanted a crack at it. Thank you gents for sharing in my enthusiasm!

 

[Ahi Ka]

I’ll sell you the oxblood bbb for 425 if you want it. ?

(too soon?)

Ahaha. Made me laugh. The most I’ve ever paid for a pipe was $200.
