[QUOTE="idbowman, post: 265941, member: 2165"] I've bought estates, but all were inexpensive and purchased because I believed them to be of good value and likely to be quite smokeable - in other words, I buy estates to complement my smoking rotation, not because I believe myself to be a "collector" of fine pipes. That said, I still expect an upfront and honest description of what I'm purchasing (whether online or in person), and I think that should be equally true for those purchasing the highest grade pipes from the standpoint of a collector. Yes, yes, caveat emptor and all that, but the fact that a buyer ought to bear responsibility for their purchase and the person/company/screenname with whom they are doing business doesn't absolve the seller from disclosing known flaws/modifications/enhancements. I think it's in the best long term interest of the buyer, seller, and the hobby as a whole for this to be a two-way street. [/QUOTE]
