If you have pipes which are not being smoked and would like to thin the herd a bit, please let me know. I will purchase bulk sales as well as individual pipes. I am not a rich man but will make a fair offer.

Also, I am always in the market for Patent Parkers, for my personal rotation.

Thanks,

Robert

Robert, what you going to do with them? Are you want next to no name stuff to practice refinishing on? Fixing stems etc?

Or are you looking for better quality stuff to clean up and send to your favorite auction site?

Carlos,

I refurbish the pipes, some I sell and many I give away.

Thanks

That's a pretty neat thing.

Send me an address in a PM. I think I can help you out. I have a bunch of lower quality items that need some help. I do not have the skills. But you can have them.

I have a group of Dr. Grabo's that I thought would make someone a nice starter 7 day set. Well used, but they too, need some work.

I also bought a bunch of mid-grade stuff that I am finding I like several of. But I will go though them. Some of this stuff just isn't going to bring anything on ebay unless it's cleaned up. To much trouble for me to bother with. I kind of hate just giving some of these to new guys just starting when they might need a good polishing. Or stems straightened, like several of the Grabo's that screw in. Almost all will need reamed and cleaned. Oh, there are a few unsmoked. Others are down-right ugly.

Just let me know if you think these are something you can make use of.

Robert, I have several pipes I'd like to get rid of. Most of them are no-names with a Grabow that's in excellent shape and a Duncan Hill Aerosphere. All of them are in good smoking condition, I clean my pipes regularly. I'll see if I can get a photo of them and if you'll pm me your address I'll send it. It may take me a few days. I need to thin the herd.

Hi Robert,

I was just glancing thru the "for sale", etc. posts & saw yours from sometime back & thought that I'd say "hello" & looking forward to meeting you on the 19th at the TAPS show in Raleigh. I may have a few clunkers that you can use so I'll see you later this month.

Best regards,

Grant Gimper (Armstrong)
