Let me climb in the confessional with you Benny. I am a thrift store hunting cheapskate who wants to publicly apologize for my "fool and his money" comment. Had I known you or another member were after those pipes I would have kept my pie hole shut.
In another thread about vintage comic book prices and estate pipe prices I made this comment, "the heart wants what the heart wants." I should have said that or nothing at all.
Enjoy your pipes my friend and please forgive my knuckleheadedness.
Just pulling my foot out of my mouth. Time and place.... time and place.
It was only a matter of time....

No offence taken at all !@Wildcat .. I rarely spend that much, but I lost my mind for a minute there. I definately understand thrifting, and frugality.. I have a antique shop in Las Vegas and i love a good deal.
But, the fact is.. Some of these Grabows havent been available for damn near 30-50 years. They are not antique, bit they are what we call vintage.. Ya cant just find these at Goodwill...at least where i live... New Grabows are limited.. WV and a few online dealers sell some nice new ones.. But for the old, amazing, Adjustomaticness that we all love, ya gotta go to the bay, or etsy or an estate sight.. Like @Citizen B said, its supply and demand.
In my antique shop i sell depression glass that was given away for free in the 1930s.. It now cost a pretty penny!
I'm rambling over here ..in an attempt to explain away how i just spent too much.
This was hilarious.. I enjoy hanging out in this pipe smokers asylum.. Where I feel accepted.
Cheers Y'all!
Below is a pic of me and my very pregnant wife at our antique shop!
