[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 603323, member: 1211"] so a coin shop (I think) ends up with an extraordinary collection from a particular maker, overprices them by 50-100% or so, and then drops me a bunch of 5% off offers because I'm watching them all. A couple things: 1) I hate to see someone potentially influence the market like that, and all it takes is one seller with a collection to do it 2) I'm tempted to make an offer of $150* for a $299.99er, but I don't want to pay any credence to this kind of seller. They're pulling these prices out of their arse. There's no precedent for it at all. *I'm not an expert on pipes, but I do have a little expertise on this particular maker, and my offer would be entirely fair. [/QUOTE]
