There are also a LOT of new pipes being sold on Ebay, from what I think are also B&M's. I think that some B&Ms and wholesalers are putting their pipes on Ebay to act as a sort of online store for them. I have no idea if that is new, it seems new for pipes, because I don't remember seeing that many before.
Maybe more pipe smokers are just dying off in droves?
