[QUOTE="RDPipes, post: 188037, member: 2155"] In my good days when I was able to get around to tag sales and such I started out collecting Free hands and found others that appealed to me also and most I could pick up for about $5 like Karl Erick's, Preben Holm's, and even Peterson's Etc. and from there it went nuts. I have many categories of pipes and still collect all, not really being able to nail one certain type down. They all appeal to me although I don't smoke many of them, sticking to a few cobs and a meer for rotation. Wish I could just collect one type or brand but, it seems impossible for me. I do enjoy them all and not necessarily buying low dollar ones, it just depends whether I like it or not. Although because of my lack of wealth I do tend to stay away from pipes ranging in $300 and up category but, have been able to get some deals on some. It seems I'm a collector first and only a smoker second. I do admit there's been times I've bought some real garbage and learn a few hard lessons but, these were because of bad or lack of photos and or bad descriptions and my lack of questions. Which by the way, hardly ever get answered properly on eBay. All in all, I enjoy collecting pipes and I don't see me slowing down anytime soon. [/QUOTE]
