[QUOTE="LL, post: 41183, member: 95"] Those ^^^^ are the deconstructed components. The answer to the question posed by the thread title is in how they fit together. Much study has been made of that fitting-together process in recent years by the cogsci guys. They've turned their brain mapping searchlights on the purchase decision itself and discovered it's almost entirely emotion-driven. Meaning in the case of pipes it is how the wood density, wood grain, finish color, size, shape, craftsmanship, the carver's name, the carver's reputation, who they (maybe) once saw smoking a similar pipe, previous experience with the seller, etc. etc. etc. (ad infinitum) all come together to create a "net reaction" of either [b]want [/b]or [b]don't want.[/b] When a particular pipe happens to score highly in many of those ways, [b]and[/b] its existence becomes known to a significant number of prospective purchasers, an expensive pipe is the result.
