I have seen some collectible pipes raise large sums... I believe a Bo Nordh nautilus brought twice this amount a few years back iirc. Seems a lot to pay for a (beautiful) pipe, but not so much in terms of a collectible piece of history. I can't imagine having anything of this calibre sitting around in a cabinet... On the one hand it loses value considerably if you smoke it, but it is also a crime if you don't.
