[QUOTE="puros_bran, post: 433853, member: 10"] Next time buy from an established pipe house off of an established retailer. No offense intended to the 'artisan' carvers (whatever that means) but you can't overnight be the greatest carver in the world worthy of fists full of $100 bills. No thanks, I'll buy a Dunhill/Castello/Etc if I have to pay those kind of prices.. At least then I have resale. When the 'artisan' is replaced by the next 'artisan' my $500 pipe becomes $47.38 plus shipping on eBay. No thanks. That's not to say there isn't some really good guys/gals carving some real smokable pipes and doing business in a fair manner. We have quite a few on this board that does just that. But all that trying to catch a star business is for the rocket ships and space cadets. If you want to gamble go to the track and put $300 on the 4 horse in the 6th race... At least then you've got a shot at getting something out of it, even if it is mud on your shoes and a hangover. [/QUOTE]
