I haven't had to pay for any of them actually, the wooden one I got from this kind old hippie lady from whom I used to purchase tobacco from, the ceramic one I got from a friend because he only consumes tobacco on special occasions and never put it to use, and the native one I got as a birthday present two years ago.

I'm quite a proponent for the usage of pipes as opposed to papers as I used to need approx .7 grams to attain a nice tobacco buzz however with the pipe I can get the same buzz off of .3 grams. This is due to none of the smoke escaping the chamber and vanishing into the air like it does when you're smoking a hand-rolled tobacco cigarette.
