[QUOTE="RDPipes, post: 413619, member: 2155"] In my opinion mistakes can be made by anyone when judging who a maker may have been without a stamp or the makers input. I think it's up to the buyer to make the judgement call as to who carved a pipe and not to rely on hearsay. I can see that one might think that a seller is trying to value a pipe higher to get more for it but, I'll also give them the benefit of the doubt unless it's not warranted by wrong doings in the past by the seller. I certainly wouldn't try a sell a pipe marked only as a Larsen if I knew who carved it. That's just good salesmanship to be knowledgeable of what your selling but, all sellers don't know everything about what there selling and that's no ones fault except there own. I think as you said, it all boils down to the buyer, no ones forcing the sale. And ALL buyers should be knowledgeable about what there buying before attempting to purchase anything. You wouldn't put chocolate in your gas tank just because some yahoo told you, would you? Same goes for anything else I believe. That's all, just wanted to put my 2 cents in. ;) [/QUOTE]
