my headshop doesnt care at all a 12 yr old kid could buy a pipe, i doubt there woud be any problem with you walking in with your friends and just pointing out something to him and have him buy it, that is if you dont look to young, the sherlock shouldnt cost anymore then 100 for a pretty nice one but you can get them for like 40 sometimes. I woud say that is an OK price for the grinder, i sure as hell wouldnt buy it when they have $7 dolar coffee grinders at canadian tire. but as you can see i live in canada so things are a little different here
