Normally a newb would get skewered for trying to trade so early in their time on the board, so keep this in mind if anyone who wants to trade expects to receive the pipe before sending their end. Don't be offended, and feel free to check into any members before shipping your pipe off (you have every right to feel secure in the transaction as well).

As for me, I did all of my pipe smoking in high school and college, but the pipe was homemade and I had to stuff a towel under my dorm room door or I'd have ended up in jail.
