[QUOTE="mosin1932, post: 595816, member: 5339"] I'm definitely not the target audience here, but I think this question speaks to a deeper problem in the pipe community. Everyone sees the outrageous prices being charged for discontinued/aged tins and wants to think they have an investment when they really don't. You can ask whatever you want for what you're selling, I've seen people doubling the price on a tin of orlik because it had a year on it, someone selling half an ounce of esoterica in a mason jar for $160 bucks, but that doesn't mean that's what it's worth. I don't buy any tobacco I can't stock up on because tobacco is supposed to be smoked or traded. The reason no one is using the trading threads on these forums anymore is because greedy people come along and ruin it for the people who just want to trade some tobacco and try different stuff. There are quite a few people, myself included, who would love to just give away the hundreds of samples, full tins and miscellaneous tobaccos to other pipe smokers so we can all try everything. It could never happen though, because I know a bunch of people would just try to sell it because "it had a few years on it". Good luck selling your pipe tobacco. [/QUOTE]
