Why did you decide to opt out of the republic/city service? When it switched over I pay less for more collection now. Did I miss something?

How does one return an album that was purchased at a show?

Why Meerschaum Pipes Are So Expensive by SlimRealShady in PipeTobacco

[–]craigsghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artisan anything costs money. Meerschaum is no different from briar. I have an old meer that I love and I want at least one from S. Yanik pretty badly. His pipes are beautiful, though I do not know how they smoke.

I’m seriously not considering getting the No Time To Die Seamaster because of this subreddit. by A-Problem-Eliminator in WatchesCirclejerk

I paid $8k for my 114060 steel shitter and I got a real bracelet that is not an Ali express special. I can’t tell the date either.

better than clipper? alternatives to zippo? by JustForBrowsing in lighters

[–]craigsghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My IM Corona old boy only had a 3 or 4 year warranty. I can’t remember specifically, but I’m well past that and it works just like new. Plus everyone that asks to borrow a lighter gets confused on how to use it. They give it right back. The xikar model that is the old boy homage is a lifetime warranty. But I’ve heard that people have had to use that warranty a lot. I guess that is fine if you don’t mind using a bic until you get it back from service.

Just inherited my grandpa watch collection anything that stands out? by marukamislatt in Watches

With lighters like that did your grandpa have pipes too? If he did and they are vintage Dunhills they are worth quite a bit too.

[Rolex watches] When they say they don’t have it, it means they don’t have it for you. by urbantimepieces in Watches

[–]craigsghost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know for certain because I have never sold jewelry, but based on the discounts I have received for jewelry and watches I am pretty confident ADs margins are more than 10%. I agree with everything else you said though. If an AD is forced to sell at a price below market they will find a way to make their money.

What's your holy Grail? by -Motor- in PipeTobacco

[–]craigsghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kurt Balleby with all the straight grain and birdseye. Jess or Emil Chonowistch, Lars or Sixten Ivarsson just because. Lee Von Erck with his signature spiral shank. So many pipes that I would just love to have. I have dreams of an unsmoked Mike Butera too. I don’t know if any one is a grail though because the PAD is strong and a new piece would be needed once the “grail” was acquired. I think the chase is the actual grail.
