Are pipe prices keeping pace with inflation or outpacing it?

[QUOTE="Carlos, post: 620343, member: 7"] I believe that some very good values can be found with a little bit of searching. To be sure, prices of everything has increased. Shipping is terrible. And that includes briar coming into this country. Not just a pipe to our mailbox. I know my local B&M's have drawers full of pipes from which to choose and often, the tag on many has not changed in price for years. A good rapport with the owner helps. It never hurts to check out the Internet retailers for deals. I get emails from Smoking Pipes all the time. Most of them email specials. A maker that makes pipes of good value would be Mark Tinsky, who comes first to my mind. He's done some great work for the members of BoB Forum over the years and his price increases appear to me to be modest. Briar Works is doing some very affordable work. A person can always get a box of old pipes off the auction sites for little or nothing, but shipping. Probably few gems to be had doing that. Collectables and artisanal pipes, a person might have to pay going rate for those. Does no good complaining. If they have value, they are gonna cost. Anything with handwork is expensive. [/QUOTE]
