[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 269661, member: 1969"] PeeB wins this round. Although I must mention, if you're limiting yourself to the Internets for pipes, not only are you not able to truly see what you get (at the mercy of the seller's photography [or illusion] skills)...you're jamming yourself, figuratively, in line with the rest of the crowd the day before Christmas and expecting to get pick of the litter at your price range. You'd be surprised where pipes turn up for sale. In fact, local B&Ms seem like an obvious place, but that's where many of my deals come from: not necessarily from the store itself, but I've traded/sold/bought a couple pipes from fellow smokers there! Guys I trust enough to not sell me a piece of garbage. Sounds like a bum deal for the pipe shop, but I also buy a tin of tobacco when that happens...selling street-level wares out of a store you hang out at (that does the same businesses) is classless--especially if you want them to say in business. Fortunately, the store sold them the pipes I was buying estate anyway, so I think everyone was happy. Furthering that, I encourage the managers to take in estate pipes...they normally don't because they often sit there for a while, but if it's know there's interest, they'll pick them up. But yeah, if you are doing nothing but cruising the Internet for pipes, it's a tough one. Hell, my wonderful Brothers here are probably the best place to get pipes for a reasonable pipes. Put "Wanted" listing in the Trading post, perhaps? Color outside the lines a bit. 8) [/QUOTE]
