Wow... there are some real scam artists out there. I don't think this seller understands what the word "vintage" means as this is clearly a more recent pipe. Some people... :crazy:

Vegas Baby!!!
Here's another I won't touch...... because the shipping isn't free and there doesn't appear to a guaranteed reach around after the sale consummates.

By the way ... how much did Sam Clemens pay that bum to break in his cobs?

Sometimes you get lucky and get "aged" tobacco tins in your order; never realized I was super lucky to be getting vintage aged corn cobs when I bought them from P&C. I'm going to be rich! :crazy:

Obviously an ebay sport, to offer ordinary stuff at exalted prices and wait for the clueless or drunk people to take the hook. I doubt these sellers make a lot of money, but they probably hit a payday, about like lucky bets at the horse track.

I like how the seller even took a picture of the pipe sitting on an old piece of wood. Actually its probably a recent piece of wood that was weathered to make it look old to go along with the "vintage" description. :mrgreen:
