F them. Thats out rageous. I can not say what wholesale is I will say top retail should be $5.00. We sell them for $4.00 here. in our shop to our local customers.

Always saw it as a bit overpriced and whatnot but I'm sticking to the true blue: Tangiers, AF, and Fusion. I really wanna try some Zona....Jump on the hookahforum sampler pack.

dakingkevin23 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 why can't the non online shops just lower their prices and make the customer base happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC4111 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Damm that sucks. I just placed an order from DPG ordering 50g of pink lemonade hoping to try it out because I missed out on fotm. It's gonna suck that if I like it and now the fuckin' price is going up. Oh well there's always SB, & AF. BTW Neal, I won't be mad if you throw in a sample of the fruit loops on the order I just placed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Devils Playground Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Make a note. wait to late lolDude I can`t say I will cut better deals on large orders but we know Neal and we know he will hook it up. lolAs for shops charging less. They could but it would not be profitable. We only get special pricing because we distribute and sell a crap load. Oh sorry for the next like 3 Post my comp just went nuts. I just noticed what it did I will write remove on them so admins can get them removed. Anyways I will find a way around this pricing just watch and learn.I have the site updated to offset the price increase already.

r1v3th3ad Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm on the bandwagon...they are out of their minds at 18$ for 200g...its like Starbuzz, I won't buy it because they overcharge...tell us one thing...when does this go into effect, so we all can stock up for one last time?

Nikon1323 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 i agree with r1v3th3ad i want to know to so i can stock up.....i have just gotten into fantasia over the past few months and got a bunch of my friends into it as well...i love the stuff amazing flavor and if their goin to charge this outrageous price then screw that i hate to say it but no way will i pay 18 bucks.....love the stuff to death but thats just way to much for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 The new pricing is already in effect is what my understanding is, he just needs to change all the pricing on the website. However if you'll notice, the price of his 3 Tub deal went up to $50 already which is about where it should be with the price increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I may also add that the other thing that makes the pricing into effect is the fact that Neal has already posted in all the Fantasia listings on the site how he's compensating for the price increase. A free 50g Fantasia included with every order, which I would guess will be a $5.00 item with this increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 meh, i always thought fantasia was fucking terrible. no big deal, don't waste my money on that. you can tell him exactly thati hope they tank with this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 what a buch of dorks. i like fantasia, but i`m definately not going to purchase it anymore at $18 a can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baller5555 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 damn that kind of sucks to hear but business is business. but fantasia should just do it like starbuzz sell their stuff in 250 grams and sell them for $20 a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always new and exciting shisha brands/flavors coming along. Unfortuantly they don't seem to realize that. So all we gotta do is try something like Zona (which sounds amazing). My shisha box won't be short because of this fuck up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamscott06 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Wow!! Thats prettttty gay! I bought a 200 of the Pink Lemonade 2 months ago.. still have 180 left!

iamscott06 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Eh, I will if I ever smoke it again.. I can't get away from the Tangiers!! Maybe i'll mix the two tonight...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah... and I thought Starbuzz was ridiculous. That's a couple bucks more per 250g even... that's just rape. I'm a cheap SoB, and have trouble feeling alright spending more than $12-13 for 250g, let alone around $22. Ouch for Fantasia fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stand up to my 3 coco naro's.Agreed. I've only tried the Pink Lemonade (although I got some gingerbread with my last order) and I'm not a fan. Descent smoke, but didn't last as long as I had hoped, and taste got really wierd after like half an hour. I'm sticking to Tangiers and AF now, and both my wallet and taste buds love me for that (my lungs on the other hand, they're really worried about the long term effects ).

speel Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 You have got to be kidding me? Then again its also the consumers fault. Look at how many people buy starbuzz i bet almost all of us owns a can of it. Distributors see that and so they figure fuck it lets raise other too. Before you know it ull be paying 20 for more than starbuzz and fantasia...oops thats already happened.And the shisha market has a dirty little price secret, the retailers dont decide what price they can sell at, well actually they cant go below a certain price other wise their product will get pulled form the retailer.

Elky Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 This is pretty unfortunate, I quite like Fantasia but its already higher in price per gram than Starbuzz and I have a hard time with that as it is.
