[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 270191, member: 1969"] Well, Peterson is an example of why I don't mind buying certain pipes new. For a while (I haven't checked lately) the price of estate Petes wasn't much less than they are new. I'm not talking about "swell, old briar," or a collectible either, but say a pipe five or ten years old versus a new pipe. So, I bought one (my first) new...it was exactly what I wanted, and was $20 more than an estate eBay 80S (or two) I had my eye on. Couldn't be happier. As for the guys spending $500 on a new pipe, to turn it into a $150 estate pipe (or $300 to a $100; $200 to a $75...)? If it weren't for them, the estate market would be pretty bleak. Smoke up, Brothers. I ain't cheap because I'm a rebel, I'm an opportunist who's poor. :lol: I haven't spent very much on pipes, either. By a long shot. "Where there's a will, there's a way." (...so go get some...) 8) [/QUOTE]
