Does a re-acquisition count? B&B craftsman alpster fixed these up for me. Look how shiney! The GBD was terrible gunked up.
He did a real nice job; how do you like the GDB? I have been tempted to get a GDB pot, haven't f ou nd one yet for the ri get price.
$10 at an antique store.
Also at the end of the show yesterday I picked up an Ardor Urano squat Rhodesian for 60 bucks.
It was listed at 80 and nobody took it. I picked it up and the seller said 70. I didn't even have time to take a breath to answer and he dropped it to 60. I asked if he was sure about that and he said he'd throw in a key fob pipe stand with it as well.

Someone needs to teach him how haggling works.
I still can't believe I got those three pipes for 220. The Ashton and the Ardor were steals.
Haha, I know. I was flabbergasted. It felt like a scene from a movie or TV show where a guy doesn't know how haggling works.
Looks like you have the golden touch. Who needs ebay with the deals you're picking up!Also at the end of the show yesterday I picked up an Ardor Urano squat Rhodesian for 60 bucks.

I was going to hand it to you personally.
