Ebay And Craigslist Hookah Finds


Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.

That would refer to hose/vase colors I assume. I dont think someone would be shitty enough to send you a completely different hookah.

Agreed. This is probably what he means.

That would suck ... I asked him for pics to verify ... after all he has no rating. Better safe than sorry.

would you mind letting us know if he is legit? since he says wholesale, i'd imagine he'd have more.

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.

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 :facepalm:

I think I'll go for a Mya QT, this is my first hookah and it's 90% for dorm use

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

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. [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160480435768&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123"]wooden hookah[/url]

I have always wondered about wooden downstems. Interesting idea, but i do not see it work in the long run. That is an awesome looking vase though.

i'd sleeve a aluminium tube into the stem to keep the smoke away from the wood.

Exactly! That's why i still haven't bought a Iranian style wooden hookah.

Austrian hookah? Thats a new one on me. Perhaps Balkan, Austro Hungarian empire?

Love the base and the hose, not a fan of the stem. Price keeps me away.

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
