Humurous pipe posting on Etsy.com

[MartinH]

I get a real kick out of the descriptions sometimes. It's really nothing more than a block of briar that needs to be carved, but look at the description.

It made me laugh this morning, but is way over priced.

Then again, am I missing something?

Man that is a little excessive, but I think the long title descriptions are for searches such as google

Might be a great piece of briar...certainly dry enough if the description/timeline is accurate!

...for about $25 less, anyway. 8) ...or is it some unique holdover piece not finished at the factory?

I'm thinking it's an old version of the "carve your own pipe" kit that are still available today. Not a bad price if one wants to carve their own.

Got to love "flowery" descriptions.

I can't get on ebay from work, so sometimes, when I am bored, I poke around etsy. I am constantly amazed to see what someone will pay for a piece of garbage with a clever name.

Looks like a great deal for people with a lot of dollars and no sense. :mrgreen:
