I thought I would let you take a look. Bad pictures, and he doesn't mention the grade, but a Savinelli Autograph for $40 "might" be a deal.

With eight hours left to go and six current bids, the price will go up for sure.

Nice pipe, the rim has some charring and the stem needs some work. That pipe will end up selling for around $60 to $70 bucks.....possibly more. Put a maximum dollar amount down “ YOUR WILLING TO SPEND “ and go no further.......GOOD LUCK👌👍👍

I am leery of the quality of the pictures. I am sure it is a low grade but you never know.

Really poor photography. This one is interesting as the black specs seem to be all over the place.  |

Really poor photography. This one is interesting as the black specs seem to be all over the place. After looking closely at all the pictures, it's my thought that this person is so foolish they didn't even take the time to brush the loose tobacco off of it. When I was buying estate pipes 10 years ago, this is the type of thing I looked for to find a deal. I bought a few pipes that were so poorly presented everyone else just shied away and I got a beautiful pipe for a song.
Similar story.............. A number of years ago I was looking for some Boston Acoustics speakers and I was checking Ebay every day and reviewing the 250 listings. One night I had a few martinis and when I typed Boston Acoustics I spelled it wrong and I immediately noticed that only 3 or 4 listings came up. In those 3 or 4 listing was exactly what I wanted and nobody was following or bidding. I got some beautiful $200 speakers for $40.

That was a good deal for an Autograph - probably due to the mis-spelling.
