So my mom collected pipes, at least 100. How do you tell which ones are worth what, and wtf do you do with them?

Look up pipes on ebay or amazon to see how much they go for. Then take pics and list them

ebay's a bit of a grab bag for pricing. I've picked up 2 100+yr old BBK's for $30/50 respectively. Are they worth more? As collector pieces they'll sell at what the market demands.

For instance, I saw a very old Dunhill go for well over $700 the other day. I have one w. the exact same shape/color I paid $40 for.

Supposedly 'very nice pipes', but end of the day, it's a chunk of wood for smoking a pernicious weed.

Yeah I have done that, prices all over the place and I have no idea. Plus Im not in town, dont want to go to the post office all the time and find boxes and shit. Sides alot of them are hard to identify. For me anyway.

You either have to go through each one & research them, or sell it in a lot for a stupid price. Are they all wood? Meerschaum? Corn cob? Anything look real fucking fancy?

All the above, not many meerschaum. I know about those. Some fancy but its not like an identifying number is on them.
