Was looking on Cup O Joe's (They've revamped their website by the way) at the Rattray's Bagpiper pipes. I've been wanting one for a while. But when I went to look at their Bagpipers I was shocked by how high they were selling them for. Now I had heard that these were supposedly going up in price in the U.S and they are usually sold at about the same rate as a low mid grade Peterson. Cupojoes has them listed at $431.20 with a sale price of 345.95 8O I couldn't believe it. So I checked through some of our other site sponsors and Smoking Pipes and Pipes And Cigars were the only other sponsors selling them, but at a much lower price. Both sites are listing the price at $215.00 with a sell price of $183.00 give or take about 25 cents difference. That's a difference of over 160 dollars that Cup o Joes is selling them at... a huge price hike. I just thought I'd give the heads up incase anyone was by any chance looking to purchase one of these pipes.

Well I've actually received descent customer service from them in the past, and in their defense with the new layout some of their pipes show multiple photos. And they're showing bowl stats and such as well now. But that price is just ridiculous.
Here's a link showing the pipe and stats.... http://www.cupojoes.com/cgi-bin/spgm?dpt=W&srch=DW&item=ratbpc67
So I am pretty stoked that they're improving on their site.

...from COJ:

"Made by Charles Rattray, in Perth, Scotland."
That's pretty funny.

:?
I dunno why their price is so high?!?!?!?
I think the pipes are actually made by Butz-Choquin?
They look pretty damn nice.

I am a bit nervous because I purchased a Trevi 320 from Cup o Joes and so far I've only gotten an order confirmation with no tracking number or anything.
