The joys and dangers of Ebay pipes

[OC Richard]

Back to Ebay, I think that Gillanders set for $2,580 is wildly overpriced.

Here's another Gillanders set for $1,000 and I feel that this set too is a bit overpriced. It's been up on Ebay for a while now, so other people must think so too. I think if this set were listed for $700 it would probably sell.

Here's a set that could be very fine-sounding, a later Lawrie. It's probably from the 1960s or thereabouts. I've owned Lawries from this period that were wonderful pipes, big tone and extremely stable. I'm not sure if they will sell at this price- some people hate Catalin-mounted pipes, and some people are scared off by Lawries of this period.
