Buyer beware, fake antique meerschaums on ebay!

[Blade Boy]

Scam alert! these and other fake antique meerschaum/amber pipes are circulating on eBay.
Buyer beware, they are made of plastic and resin but are antiqued very well to fool the buyer, don't get ripped off....

Thanks for the heads up.. shame too, cause if someone made an actual quality pipe carved like that, I'd be so all over it.

Can you name the seller in this case (not sure if it is still against B&B rules)?

That looks like a costume prop.

Good eye for you, others may not be so lucky.

I have seen them being sold by multiple sellers.

Out of curiosity, what would happen if one were actually smoked? Go up in flames? Die from some kind of chemical poisoning? Sounds bad!!

Would probably be a toxic smoke and may actually start to melt or catch fire, the materials used are not made to smoke out of.

Seems like someone should notify Ebay about the misleading tactics. Thanks for the heads up bro
