SoWz Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Yeah only problem is the seller has no rating ... also if something is broken I would assume you can't get a replacement etc since it looks like he/she is only selling one. I would just buy from a vendor so if anything is problem you can call them etc. Also you don't know how this individual packs their stuff, they could have no experience and then you have a broken KM ... the price is low, but you should ask for real pics etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustafabey Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 He's selling these KM's with no reserve, which means if it doesn't get alot of attention they might go real cheap. he has also listed what appears to be tri metal KM. Ah temptations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoWz Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Yeah I saw that as well ... I guess its worth like $10 bucks or whatever its at right now to get a nice tri metal haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris K Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 that looks extremely tempting. i'm going to watch it and hope it doesn't go up too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoWz Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Up to $10 already ... still not a terrible price for a KM. Although in the description he states styles and designs could vary ... not sure if he means you could get a different stem than a tri-metal ... haha that would be interesting.

mitchard Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 That would refer to hose/vase colors I assume. I dont think someone would be shitty enough to send you a completely different hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoWz Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 That would suck ... I asked him for pics to verify ... after all he has no rating. Better safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoWz Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Yeah he e-mailed me back. Says he has a bunch of colors. Once I get the pics I'll upload them here. I told him I wanted to see the tri-metal because I specifically asked about that pipe. He said he had a bunch of colors but didn't seem to know too much about hookah itself ... so I figured pics would do the explaining haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I ended up canceling all my bids for the KM because I didn't receive any emails back. Of course within a few hours of that I got a response I think I'll go for a Mya QT, this is my first hookah and it's 90% for dorm use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoWz Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Haha yeah I'm pretty sure a bunch of members are competing. Just to let you guys know he plans to list more of the same KMs, just in different colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustafabey Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 well I see no one has bid on it. 19th century American hookah????? I reckon the vase is old and the rest, well appears to be 21st cent invisible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustafabey Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 here's one thats made from wood, looks like the whole stem might be wood. that would tend to ghost flavors I imagine, however the base looks really cool.

mushrat Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 i'd sleeve a aluminium tube into the stem to keep the smoke away from the wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustafabey Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Austrian hookah? Thats a new one on me. Perhaps Balkan, Austro Hungarian empire?

mustafabey Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Yeah the base is beautiful, the stem definitly looks European as opposed to Milldel eastern and the price...well there were days I would have paid over $200 for a base like that, but they are long over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
