[QUOTE="hazmat, post: 18800, member: 15"] Even makers who commission pipes won't generally allow something like this. Some will, but in most cases you have to have made them warm and fuzzy with you as a customer first. The issue with a pipe maker, obviously, is different from a seller, but the principal remains. Moving stock and not collecting dust. With a maker, they can't be wasting their time on a pipe that they'll only collect a first installment for and then never hear from the buyer again when that time could be better spent making several pipes that will sell outright. With a pipe seller, they need to get pipes off their shelves as quicly as possible to be able to offer more in the long run. Sometimes they get a one-time payment, then end up holding the pipe longer than they'd like because that one payment is all they get. Which is why you won't ever see it happening. This isn't to suggest you're one of those types, but they have to cover their tails as much as possible to stay in business. [/QUOTE]
