For the pipe, do not require payment in advance until viewed and ready to ship. |
It would be unreasonable to expect a carver to guarantee a certain number of specifically marked pipes without knowing if he can move all of them. If I was a carver I wouldn't risk some picky ass member ordering a pipe and then backing out at the last minute, leaving me with a pipe I might not be able to sell.
I say if you request a forum/club pipe you better be prepared to pay!

I was asked ONCE to pay in advance for a member to member tobacco purchase. Imagine that. Of course I canceled the deal. I was insulted.
A forum pipe would be entirely different. I agree, JP. Pony up, in good faith. I can't imagine a carver risking his reputation by stiffing us. Reputations are never squandered. The word gets out. |

| | Mark, I was referring to the massive headache I had with the Haven meerschaum pipe. I paid in advance and it took almost 2 years to get all the pipes. Unles the shape is far out, the carver will have no problem selling one a member does not like as long as he waits to inscribe the club pipe wording. If the blast is not first rate or there are sandpits, etc., a member may not be happy with that choice. After viewing a photo of his pipe, payment is sent and inscription made. Bounced checks are dealt with by Leroy. |

I remember that fiasco well!
I believe the key here is dealing with a reputable carver and knowing that person well enough to get a genuine commitment from them. The members will have to be commited enough to guarantee their commitment with a deposit or full payment. When we did the forum pipes with Kirk Bosi we used the deposit process.
