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. Mad

Does this mean that you consume 52 pipes a year?

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

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

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. Cool

I was very fortunate today to win this magnificent Sadik Yanik Meer
for $59.00!I've been trying to get one of these elaborate pieces forever
with a modest bid,and today the Mole went under!



Winslow sunny

9.5 inches long,3 inches tall


The pipe arrived today,it is awesome.I am just holding it under a strong light and savoring
all the detail with a magnifying glass.It is delicate,it wouldn't take much to break off some
little pieces.I will have to smoke it with some ceremony,putting on of cotton glove and "Do not Disturb"
sign on cave door.Never ever thought I'd own something like this,very grateful feeling.
