I have added a commentary on the front page of my web site. I would appreciate any feedback or observations. It’s not my intention to cause any controversy but, simply, it’s a place where I can give my opinion. After all, it’s my web site!!!

Very good point on pricing, it is very much perceived quality which to many means a pipe that is not considered expensive enough to be of good quality.

It must be a nightmare for pipe makers, do you charge what the market can stand?

Or then be accused of raising your prices too high.

An alternative I suppose would be bespoke pipes only with a different pricing level.

That indeed is a dilemma! The dilemma being how much the pipe maker has to or needs to charge or how much a buyer is willing to pay. I guess the market will eventually determine the fair price.

One strategy(?) I thought was particularly effective was Sam Learned first offering his "Mules" for approximately $100. After his name became fairly well known, he began to offer higher priced models of the "Mules" along with other styles.

My ha'pence worth if that,
Jim
