I just made a discovery. The UK site is different from the U.S. The pipes being up for auction are very different from the US offerings. Such as a Dunhill for less than 10, or a Nording for 27. And as a bonus the site is in English. It's interesting that some pipes are held in greater esteem there than in the US. Such as Comoy being priced higher there than in the US. I have my eye on a new Meer, Turkish, full size, for about 10. in a clam shell case. Another bonus is that most of the sellers will ship to Nicaragua. Most of the pipes seen there you will not see on the US site, so it's not just a rehash. UK law also says that if you get a pipe that you don't like that you have a full 14 days to return it for a full refund.
It's worth a look.
