They should at least say what the thing sold for.
My gripe is with people who gripe about really petty shit. 
Sometimes i would love to know the maker and the price of the pipes featured as the estate pipe. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes more challenging. Frequently, however, since it is usually a nice pipe it gone by the time i look at the update.
I guess I haven't spent enough time at SP lately. I have always noticed that when I buy a pipe, it almost immediately disappears from the site, which is my reassurance that they got my order. I have seen the sites where they picture all the sold pipes in a sort of paled-out photo, but that's not SP, I don't think. Next time I'm at SP, I'll try to see this.
It's a gripe of mine too, alright. But if you scroll down you'll find the pipes that were featured and have since sold... and therein lies a greater, much, much more greater gripe: they SHOULD TELL us the price at which it was sold!! Instead of just 'sold'. Yeah, so you sold it, but it'd be great to know for how much so as to have a reference.
Yet another super gripe is that they sometimes feature a pipe that's not to be found anywhere, not even under 'portfolio/sold'. To-day's case in point:
I click on it and see NO calabash in the two pages of results. WTT!!

My only problem is I wish SPC would keep the sale price listed. Although I can understand they don't want people cross referencing old prices given that pipes seem to adjust with inflation quite regularly.
Because my mind sometimes modifies words for me without my consent...here's a super tiny grape.
People actually care about what their best sellers are?
Check their inventory when it updates on Mondays and Thursdays at 3:30pm EST.
Of course people care about their best sellers. For one it's kind of interesting. Especially seeing what changes happen to it. Also I think for some people it can help them decide the next try.People actually care about what their best sellers are?

So of course they update pretty much right after I leave for work.
Trends never affect my shopping decisions. I've done business with SPC for a long time and didn't even know that page existed until this thread.
I was thinking for those times where someone is thinking what new thing should I try and they feel like going out on a limb. Why not try the most popular blend or least popular? I just had an idea for them. Random button on both pipes and tobaccos (probably work with cigars too, but why would you buy those when you have a pipe?).
Just looked at that list. Nothing there that would fall into my top ten. When still regularly buying, I would just buy new from favored companies or blends with components that I liked.
Let’s not be sexist. I’m sure there’s more than one male forum member that has a nice full C-cup.
If they’re going to include the sold pipes, they should at least show what it sold for. I’d like to know, it’s good reference point for research (especially estates).
Its a pet peeve of mine when they feature a brand new beauty on the home page, than you click on it...SOLD. Probably couldn’t afford it anyway. I swear it’s sold before it gets listed.

SPC has an eight week layaway.
Collectors start refreshing the page early to see what drops. I got a few Bruce Weaver pipes that way last Spring.
I just go by gut sometimes not even reading what it's made from. Then again most of what I've smoked I have enjoyed not always enough to want another tin but... I really am not that picky.
If I read Macedonia, Samsun, or Yenidje, I'm all over it.
