chromecarz00 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 So I was thinking that we should be able to sample all flavors before buying...so I thought HEY! lets have a group buy. What Im thinking is someone (ill volunteer) gets 250 g of all flavors of all popular brands, then distributes them for the real fee....as in say I have 10 people in for a 250g of Tonix. 25g per person, at a rate of $18/250g ,$18/10 = $1.80.Make sense? Sound like a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromecarz00 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Ok reading that again that makes little to no sense.Basically what Im trying to say is that if people want to sample a flavor of any brand, we can have a sign up, I will buy the flavor and distribute it to everybody who wants it. Any brand, if theres enough interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromecarz00 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Actual shipping...I dont think it would be too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 250/5 makes more sense. 25g of tobacco is too little.But otherwise not a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemyusername Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 sounds like a pretty good idea, but i think 250/10 would be fine, all you need to sample something would be a single bowl right? pack it, smoke it, there... sampledso really, 250/15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place_Name_Here Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 sticklers might get ya for resaleing a product, such as those guys out side basball stadeums that sell individual waters and cokes from 12 packs they picked up at the gas station across the street, but if you lable this venture as a shisha buying co-op then every things fine and hippy love all around.

manic007 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 It sounds like a great idea. But two things:1. How do people pay you? I'm guessing Paypal would be easiest, but those bastards take a cut of the pie. So if you use Paypal you'll have to factor that in.2. I think you're forgetting packaging costs. I dont know how much it'll be, but its worth remembering what happened to LoveShisha!But all in all I'd definetely be interested! I've always wanted to try out new shisha brands.I think 50 grams would be better. Actually I think 40 grams would be fine! Thats enough to fill up most small funnel bowls and give you enough for an egyptian bowl so you can compare the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
