I haven't been on their site for awhile and just got done looking.  Did they significantly raise their prices?  I always thought they did great work, but the prices seem to have jumped last time I wanted to buy one.
 
Not sure. I haven't been on their site in at least a year, and don't really remember what they were asking for the regulars, jumbos, etc. They do "seem" higher than they were when I first started looking. A lot of the indys are asking about the same, or more so, I'd say he is somewhat competitive. Something like a Balkovec is going to cost 300+ but, the workmanship and attention to detail is much much higher.
 
Seems about the same to me. Most of the pipes are still in the $150-200 range. They have been there for as long as I can recall. I do notice they seem to be offering more of their ridculously huge pipes for $500+, then they used to.

Maybe that's it. I don't see as many $80 - $125 pipes anymore.

The pipes that were <$100 tended to be their fishing vest pipes, or other similarly small pipes (some of the shot shells). I think you are certainly correct, that there seems to few of these, as the guys tend to concentrate on their monsters. I personal never saw the appeal of a giant pipe. If I can't hold in my teeth, I don't see the point in smoking it, but too each his own.
