Somebody might do well to bid on these:Mastro de Paja (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6224701099&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1) Brigham (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5442491737&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)

I don't really care for that particular Maestro de Paja, but the little Brigham Bulldog is pretty nice... I just bought a little Savanelli bulldog at a local B&M(we are fortunate to have many in Houston) and man, I really liked that I could watch exactly how the tobacco was burning... if I were not afraid of my wife I would definately bid on the Brigham - and I still may risk her wrath and do it anyways!

P.S. How do I post as a link rather than as the whole url spelled out? (I tried some searches for the answer.....)

IHT - there are 2 ways. the easiest way is to click the button next to and on the right side of the "insert picture" button when you post a reply. the one you want looks like a globe with a piece of chain"link" in front of it.
you click it, a pop-up comes up that asks the "text" you want displayed (instead of the URL) and then click next, then you enter the URL on the next one, then click finish. easy cheesey. there's another way, but i don't have time to type it out.

while we're at it....

I have pretty much convinced myself that I'll get that Karl Erik(5447141012) even though I may not be able to smoke it for a while.

The Brigham 3dot came in while I was out of town for Thanksgiving and it is gorgeous as well... and when he said never smoked, it is definately never smoked!!! Late 70's Early 80's, brand spanking new in it's box, still has the sleeve and no evidence of ever having had a flake of tobacco in it!!! WOW!!!

the radice is very nice as well. i've wanted a hawkbill for a long time, that is close to one.

ya... I didn't bid on that last Erik... after I looked at it a few more times it didn't hold the same appeal that that Radice does... what'd ya'll think I should Hammersnipe that Radice for? I don't really need it though, so if you want it for your collection I will pass.

Oh.. and the West came in today... the grain is not as nice as I'd hoped, but I plan to use it to smoke a couple aromatics I was gifted(thanks Dave!) - it was smoked once, maybe twice!!!

one of the guys at my local B&M uses a special pipe zippo for his pipe.. the chimney has one large hole in each side (like the size of my ring finger), instead of the many small holes.. he holds it parallel to the top of his pipe and it works great..

I am horrible at Ebaying. There are so many bottom feeders making a business out of buying and selling Ebay items that it makes it really hard to get cool stuff. I remember the old days where you could find some really great deals but it seems that now those deals are few and far between.

Anybody have pointers?

Greg(IHT) seems to be better than me at finding deals, but I never buy anything that I pay more than I wanted for... if that makes sense?

Using Hammersnipe has totally changed Ebay for me - I just enter the most I am willing to pay for something and let it works its magic. It also limits me to 3 auctions per week, so I am kept even more honest!

you can thank SeanGar, cuz i got sniped on a bid a while back and he told us all about HammerSnipe.com (http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15202). i've been using that now exclusively, and i think i've won 3 auctions with it, including that last one.
i can't believe i got that nice looking Da Vinci for $36!!! those go for over 120+ brand new (from the cheapest source i know for them).

also, when i post "ebay finds", they all close within 24 hours or so... i go search by "ending soonest" and go from there... i dont' like to spend too much, so i go for solid/cheap pipes, and try to look for lightly smoked or new pipes.

I need to get a Karl Erik Extravagant... bad!!! That was a fantastic price on one, but it wasn't the best example I've ever seen either.

Now that Ben Wade.. I LOVE the 'real' Ben Wade's the ones made by Preben Holm - this recent re-release of pipes under the Ben Wade name sucks...I own a couple Golden Walnut's and another that I can't recall the name of. I may put in a bid on that one if Greg isn't gonna.

And that Mastro is pretty cool too.. what is it? A Volcano... I am not familiar with that shape, but I like it and would love to bid on that one too! With the Ben Wade and the Charatan I just won that'd fill my 3 auction quota for the week!

ahh.. just remembered... my last Ben Wade is a Spiral... a pretty cool pipe, haven't smoked it yet, but I just finished cleaning it and I still need to re-fit the stem, it is a bit loose.

***Edit*** just put in a bid with Hammersnipe on the Ben Wade for $60, but if someone else is bidding I can pull the bid or if I win pass it along for the same price I pay to someone else. I am not gonna bid on the Mastro as it is in Italy and already higher than I would pay when shipping is factored in - not that it isn't worth more, but just not to me, I'd rather have a freehand!

i've got a tim west that looks like the smaller of the 2 (anything is smaller than the 9 inch long, 4 inch tall pipe from hell).
actually, the 2 tim wests i have, they have different stampings. one has the two circles with tim west in the middle. the other has tim west scratched into the shank.

A Cheratan Belvedere (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5455442498)

Might not be much of a find, but it's nice to see an Ebay seller with a sense of humor.

I am beginning to collect Charatan pipes and know very little, but unfortunatly that one appears to be fairly new(1988-current), not that it isn't a good pipe, it is certainly superior to most Peterson's, and probably on par with a Dunhill, but not one of the ones that seem to be such good smokers - of course I could be wrong, I have been wrong many times in the past, and will likely be wrong many times in the future...

The thing to look for is the little 'L' in script inside a circle(see picture below - best I could do, look to the top left). That will indicate it is a Lane-Era pipe, if it does not have a DC anywhere on it, that is even more desireable, because that would mean it was made prior to the purchase by Dunhill(DC = Dunhill's Charatan).

a pretty cool Charatan artice is found here:

i can't believe someone won that BC for only $12. :c

well, i got my hammersnipes in on a couple of pipes that end in over an hour, but i'm off to bed... we shall see if i win or not (i doubt it, low bids for those pipes).

makes me sick. i sent this guy the money on the 13th (money order) and he hasn't sent an email or anything so i had to dispute the auctions. he was irritated that the 300 bucks worth of pipes went for 114 so he may have not sent them and kept the money. at any rate this will be my last bid at ebay, just too much BS i had rather buy one at an online store.

It is a True I also. I will not ever buy another and am waiting for an opportunity to trade it away - I just won't do it over the internet because I want to buyer to be able to look it over first.

as I looked at the Pipa Croci I noticed that the machining marks are very clear on the top of the pipe... what a disappointment! Their disigns are great, the briar they use is fantastic, they do a great job of exhibiting the grain in their pipes, but their execution is just so poor... quite sad really, great lookers from a distance but horrible up close. I was warned by others, but I had to see for myself, I'd hate anyone else having to learnthe hard way as well... but YMMV

SUPER SNAG ON THE KARL ERIK, NOONER. $21 and change, amazing price for a karl erik. i'm sure my extravagant would go for well over $100, as some guys keep trying to sell theirs for starting bids near $200.

Thanks!!! I have two other Karl Erik pipes and they are very nice - in my mind on par and perhaps superior to my Danish Ben Wades and Nordings which I consider to be in the same general range.

your Ekstravagant(or whatever silly way it is spelled) is a gorgeous pipe, this one is no where near that one in terms of quality or beauty!!!

The famous "BBB" Sterling Silver logo is inlaid in the original bit.

So, what's that - like $25 per pipe - But - if you're out - I'm out.

I just picked up a Charatan - Lane Era - Beleveder for $60 - I hope that was a good deal - and three other estate Italian made pipes for $48 - total. I never heard of Fero Azzurra or Boda, but the pipes look nice. These weren't cleaned but looked nice - so, I'll try your cleaning method and see what happens.

So, the collection is growing -your fault Nooner.

02-10-2006, 08:16 PM

no, the reserve is much higher than the current bid - actually it turns out that grouping has cycled thru ebay at least 2x before this listing.

The reserve is probably reasonable if you are a collector, but too high for me to want to smoke them. Also there was a bit of a question about the authenticity of one of the pipes... I don't know enough about the maker to know for sure, but if it is of questionable origin who knows about hte rest of the pipes.

Anyways, just too expensive!!!

ebay is the part that blows. the hammersnipe stuff works fine... i didn't know that you had to have your auction placed 2 minutes prior to it's end time for it to work... so i had to try to snipe it manually, which is fuggin impossible with all the "bid confirmation" screens they have now.

Shoot myself for pointing this out, this is a $160.00 Koncak. How does one get to be a power seller with 110 sales, exactly? With 321 I'm just getting started.. http://tinyurl.com/pzyz2

DO NOT OVERBID ON PIPES!!!

classic example. check this current auction with over 1 day remaining:

the high bidder here needs a :sl

now check THE EXACT SAME PIPE I WON a few months back.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4119&item=6239738206

so, check online what these are going for NEW, and if it's a used pipe, don't bid that high... if it's new, i still wouldn't bid as high as a new one from a vendor online.

amazing to watch something you have a snipe bid in on...

GL Pease Ravens Wing...
TWO unopened tins in seperate auctions tonight...
my high bid was 37.50..
so, i watched from 15 minutes on down. sat at $22.50 all the way until 12 seconds, with only 7 bids.
then, a bid, another bid, then my bid was in there somewhere... next thing you know, sometime with less than 5 seconds left, someone snipes it with $47+.

:c

Something that has worked well for me - when there is an item that I think I want - I do sort of like what you do - put in a reasonable bid and watch it if I can ti see if someone tries to snipe.

But, if it is an item I really want - I determine the most I would pay for it and put that bid in right away - If somoe bids over that amount - they paid too much. I would say that about 30% of the time - my cost goes up by a very small amount ($1 - $2) in the last few seconds of the auction. Other times, I am sure that the person that sniped it was surprised by the cost.

Your first rule is your guide - do not overbid. I think the second rule should be - don't stress an auction - the stuff will come around again -frequentlybetter than the one you didnt win.

i do what you said.
like for instance, they had a pipe retort that ended last night. i put in how much i would bid, and i still have to see if i won it or not.
as for the tobacco tin, i put in a snipe for how much i was willing to pay, and it went above that.

i wasn't upset at the auction, just amazed at watching it jump from $22 - 47 in under 10 seconds and 3 bids (one of which was mine).

It used to be fun to bid, and wait the last couple days to watch someone else bid, and then decide if I want to bid higher, and adjust my bid, and adjust, and adjust. Now it's more like a one time thing- you need to decide the highest price you will go up front. It's more like a sealed aucton now, just different is all. I snipe and also find it fun to look at the last bids after the auction is over.

It's called Capitalizm, boyos. Somebody else was willing to pay more than you. In the end. we all win from it though...
