Finding estate pipes (garage sales, estate sales) how to find them.

yep, i concur with Moo. if you're buying pipes on ebay for personal use after a refurb, then stay away from the seller that only puts 1 or 2 really bad out of focus pictures with no description up there...

but if you're wanting to buy a "lot of 5" totally crappy pipes to practice on that you don't care if you destroy them, ebay has a # of those types of auctions... which is what i meant by my first post.

I concur with Curly Cut whenever he is concurring with me. Getting a bunch of nasty old pipes for $5.00 on ebay is a great way to hone your skills and, sometimes, even find a cool pipe.

and if you ever wanna get serious about restoring pipes, a pipe retort is the way to go

I don't have one myself yet, but plan to get one soon, and I know some who have them rave about them.
