I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO POST THIS MESSAGE BUT IT ,UNFORTUNATELY, HAS BECOME  NECESSARY.  ALL EBAY BIDDERS OUGHT TO BE OF THE SAME HIGH INTEGRITY AS THE PIPE SMOKING SOCIETY. IF YOU CAN NOT OR WON'T  PAY ACCORDING TO "MY" REQUIRMENTS, PLEASE DO NOT BID .  PLEASE DON'T ASSUME YOU CAN COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE ITEMS.  I WILL GLADLY EXTEND THIS OPTION ON "REQUEST" .  EMAIL ME PRIOR TO BIDDING.  IF THAT LITTLE # NEXT TO YOUR USER I.D. IS LESS THAN 10, PLEASE MAKE COMMUNICATION WITH ME THRU THE EBAY MESSAGE SYSTEM AS TO YOUR INTENT OF PAYING, OR YOUR BID WILL BE  SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION. 

IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PLEASE EVERYBODY.  i DO TRY.   AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW,  EBAY RATES SELLER'S ON YOUR FEEDBACK COMMENTS.  IF YOU FIND YOU CANNOT LEAVE ME THE HIGHEST RATING LISTED,  CONTACT ME "FIRST" BEFORE LEAVING ME YOUR RATING.  I WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO RESOLVE ANY PROBLEM WITHIN REASON.  I ASK YOU FOR QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU ENTER A BID.  PLEASE HONOR THAT REQUEST OR SIMPLY "DON'T BID".   I PUT UP THE BEST PICS I HAVE AVAILABLE WITH SUPERSIZE OPTION, SO YOU CAN LOOK CLOSELY AND MAKE YOUR DECISION TO BID.   ALWAYS REMEMBER "ESTATE" MEANS, IN THE PIPE WORLD,  "USED".  THEREFORE NO USED PIPE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.  IF YOU EXPECT ONE TO BE,  THEN BUY A NEW ONE.   PLEASE KNOW THAT I APPRECIATE YOUR PATRONAGE AND WELCOME YOUR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.   

HAVE A NICE DAY,  THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HEAR MY MESSAGE.
