[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 263307, member: 2318"] Okay, then, I'd heed the comments about the new-to-me market and not be quite so penurious, though I'm normally quite frugal myself. I'd go to Pipeworks and Wilke and peruse the pipe collections sections. H-31 is a billiardish GBD with a canted bowl that will set you back all of $85. Think you can get a new pipe with similar quality for that price? I'm thinking, no. Moving along to the Zagot collection, Z-64 is a Dunhill canted billiard for $235, and Z-77 is a Pipeworks canted billiard for $195. Ouch! Too much! you may think. I ask you, is anyone in your house going to miss a meal for the extra $100+? And you'll have the pipe for decades, congratulating yourself for your astute purchase as you puff it at sundry posh gatherings. Also, when Carol at Pipeworks gets done refurbing these pipes they look like new. Yes, you could lurk on E-Bay and pay less (maybe not, many of the bidders are nuts), but then you'll have to handle the refurb, probably, which may / may not go well. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
