I've found all of mine at antique/thrift/consignment stores. There's a bunch around here because New England is like antique store heaven, there's literally one on every corner. The old racks are really cool and many of them have tobacco jars/humidor drawers. If an affordable rack/stand is a hot commodity I guess I should start grabbing 'em and hookin' folks up!
Sean. not in Canada. 
George, might be lucrative for ya! Nothing down here in Texas..
Captpat, yah I found a sweet rack on etsy, but not willing to pull the trigger on $500, when I only have 28 pipes or so. I guess I should.
The KAF I bought looks nice, turns the pipes so you can put anything from a goblin to a church.. ill let yall know how it works out.

Sean, you have an IM!
haha Drwatson!
George, you could definitely sell decent racks here on the classifieds once you've been here for a while. Folks are always looking for decent racks.

An old leather belt and a decent staple gun should make you roughly 4 bespoke pipe stands.

I'm with the Major General. As an antiques man I am out at thrift stores and such all day. Stands, racks, jars, and pipes themselves are to be had cheep.
Nice! I use the leather fob on my key-ring as an impromptu pipe rest all the time, but never thought of recycling an old belt for this purpose... until now. Thanks!
For real, some of my favorite pipes are from antique and thrift stores in the 5 to 15 dollar range. I've found some real obscure and cool old, old pipes in random nooks and crannies out there. With a little spit 'n' polish (...'n' grain alcohol) they're good to go!
I have three of the 7 pipe stands. They are nice for the price. I like the simple assembly, and the silver metal risers. I hope you enjoy yours.
Mike, if there are no "B&M" antique stores in your area, there may be flea markets which serve the same purpose, I've had a lot of luck at estate sales as well.
I usually trawl ebay and have found a good few bargains including two pipe stands. $11 for both. You do have to keep an eye on the boards for a couple of weeks but you usually find something you can live with at a price you are willing to pay. Also I have found on pipe racks a lot of people are just glad to get a few dollars for them.
Here just found these with a quick search......
