I follow Yanik's listings,first he lists the pipe for a set price,a buy it now
for $269.00.If it doesn't sell he puts it in his online store for a couple weeks.
Then with a few of them he puts them on E-Bay with no reserve where they
usually bring 60-70% of the buy it now price.I was waiting in the weeds for
that pipe and a few others to come on E-Bay with no reserve where I hoped
to get it for 33% of the buy it now price.I got lucky,no one else bid me up.
My max bid on that was $88 and to win it for $59 was a happy moment.
I showed my wife the pictures,she was not very interested.

That was a great snag! Absolute eye candy.

Does this mean that you consume 52 pipes a year?

Yes,I'll smoke it at once and then nothing else for a week until I tire of it. Winslow :sunny:

I smoke the hell out of a new pipe until the newness of it goes away.
Then it gets used as necessary.

Did you see the Yanik poker?

Yes,Wednesday about noon there are some nice pieces going off on e-bay.
A bargain may be had by an astute collector.

Dear God, that's excellent.

Congratulations Winslow. That is a beautiful pipe.

Well,I still don't have it in my paws yet.Yanik sent me an e-mail that he shipped it 10/13
which was two weeks after I won it.Maybe next week it'll come,I'm a patient man now
that I have some age on me.
