I seem to be baffled by pipe prices.

I was just checking ebay and found a Peterson's Tankard that they want $110 for. I picked up a restored one at Tinderbox, out of their estate box for very little money, maybe $20.

I need to start educating myself.

This is such a difficult subject...you start cruising the online pipe e-tailers and ebay, and you sorta begin to get a feel for it...dunno any other way...

Thanks everyone for your help.

Looks like I need to do a lot more surfing of the web and I might even hit some of the pawn shops. I might even hit Packwood Washington this weekend for their swapmeet. Every Memorial and Laborday weekend the whole town turns into a swapmeet.

Take care and have a safe and fun Memorial weekend guys.

There are valuation formulas for used pipes (which I have read elsewhere, hell if I remember where) that are quite specific. Professionals routinely work with percentage rates off MSRP to determine value. If you're in the business the values do not include guesswork.
