When you only buy commissions, you never have to worry about coping.
Always going to be pipes you miss out on because you hesitated a tad too long or didn't put in a high enough bid.
There will always be another along. That's the thrill of the chase

On must have pipes I usually program a snipe bid right away in case I forget which I often do. That is a really nice piece from a popular series. I wouldn’t be surprised if the winning bidder’s max was much higher.

Yes Deadman pipes always has the best pipes and everyone gets into a bidding war at the end lol.
Been meaning to explore into that world. How much are we talking for a good commissioned pipe in classical shapes? Recommend any makers you've had personal experience with?
I second the commission option if you want anything that you have FOMO over. A commission can be obtained in any reasonable pricerange if you look hard enough. I have a commissioned Meerschaum which set be back not more than a pipe of that size would have costed me when I picked it off the shelve. And 2 briar commissions on the way one which set me back in the higher Peterson price range and one in the lower castello / higher radice price range. So it's doable, look at social media as a lot of carvers don't even bother with having a website when a lot of business can be done via social channels.
If I don’t get the pipe I wanted, I just spend the money on parts for my truck.
win win ?

I console myself that another pipe I like even more will come along. And it generally does because what I like evolves.
practice contentment. Be happy with the pipes you have. Or in other words go smoke one of your pipes.
For a young newbie I have some exquisite antique meers and new production meers but I always feel I'm lacking in briars. Well good briars that is. I did just slake my thirst for a Castello tonight though. I bought a boxwood stemmed one from smoking pipes in searock finish. Should have probably got an antiquari but there's always next time
Long cut wintergreen. Haha, I just got done reading some of that tobacco smoking question thread and saw Embers Kodiak can, I though this was a thread about how you take your Copenhagen. But I guess the same thing would be true if I lost a bid… long cut wintergreen is still my answer, I just can’t “cope” without it.
Ah, looks like you're already been infected by the dreaded PAD bug
Unlike COVID, there is no available vaccine.
