olooko Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 When i bought a can of Starbuzz Pumpkin pie yesterday at my local smoke shop I notice a price drop. Before it was 19.95 like everyone else. Yesterday it was 17.95. I know it isn't a big drop but still. I check the online prices today and they don't reflect the change. I'm gonna go ask the guy if there was a wholesale drop in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabanapatio Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 On the subject of Starbuzz being so much...I know that in Dallas/Richardson at Jasmines...you can SOMETIMES haggle the price of three cans to 50 bucks...I was on the phone with Southsmoke the other day and the guy told me Starbuzz isn't even made in the US. Apparently they're going through legal trouble so maybe that could be the reason for a price drop? i ono...It sounds very rumor-ishOh and I can't wait to try that pumpkin pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victim026 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I wish starbuzz was 19.99 locally, Only 2 places carry it that I've seen in San Antonio and your either paying $24.99 for a 250g at one place or 29.99 for a 250g at the 2nd. The 2nd also carries 100g's for 16.95..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 The Starbuzz prices have dropped because more and more people are getting good sources as their wholesalers. It is being distributed by more people and they want the business, so they drop it. Give it a couple months and see where it stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voski Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 thanks for the response olooko but that isnt worth the drive for me =(. Theres a place that sells it for 18 a can in burbank on olive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarthobo Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) Wow, and I thought that $18 at the place I go to is expensive...I suggested he started carrying it, though, and he followed through - first SB I ever smoked I bought from him (Blackberry) and it's definately worth the price Edited October 16, 2007 by smarthobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my sources are still at the same price for starbuzz as they have been all along. I think it's rather just a sale your local store is having. Bobby, If you know of a place that's actually selling starbuzz at lower that the standard wholesale price, I'd be happy to hear about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Mebbe I'll suggest my shop should carry it as well. They've started carrying AF and Tangiers because of me... (Orange Soda sold out in a week! XD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zildjian Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 lol i wish the place that sold it for 18 was around me. the shop near me = 24 a can! ive given them 50 bucks! sheeesh...a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
