In another thread I tried, in my usual clumsy manner, to explain how/why I buy a pipe. This led me to wonder about the motivation of others when they purchase such. Is it a "need" to acquire? A desire to enlarge the rotation? I understand perfectly the motivation of those who collect specific brands. That is self-explanatory.
Are there members who notice a bit of extra cash and immediately go purchase another pipe? Or, do some members have a goal of ... say, a fourteen day rotation? Some purchase used pipes because they enjoy restoring them to a utile condition. Others do the same to "flip the pipes."
I'm just interested in the various motivations leading to pipe purchases. I'll question no one's motive, curiosity it is, so no defense or justification is needed.
I do not "need" another pipe. Nor do I necessarily want another pipe. But, if a pipe catches my eye and, then meets my requirements, I will acquire that pipe.
What leads others to purchase pipes?
