jesu5 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I was looking at this MYA hookah on ebay, which I mentioned in my earlyer post. I was shocked at the unbelievable price $69.99 for a MYA with case is unbelievable, so I was naturaly worried. [lebanese_blonde] confirmed that it was a real MYA, so I was pretty sure I was going to buy it: [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/New-28-Mya-Briefcase-Gold-Bohemian-Hooka-Hookah_W0QQitemZ5430803221QQcategoryZ596QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"][img]http://i18.ebayimg.com/03/i/05/12/1b/ab_1.JPG[/img] One thing I always check befor buying, even though this eBayer had over 1000 feedback, is what his most recent items sold were. Looking at GenuinHookah's feedback, I noticed he had sold a HUGE number of hookah mouth piece covers, and eBooks with the only info in the discription " yea dawg...you know the drill". In fact... it seemd like... ALL of his feedback was one of the two! All 1000!! With further inspection, it seems all of his REAL sales, had horrible complaints such as "Missing Pices" or "Wrong Hookah" or Hookah was not of correct size. HookahDuck pointed out to me when I was looking at this hookah, that it didn't seem to be 28" it was really his tip off that made me go the extra mile to research this. THANKS! So warning to All! Even if a seller has 1000 feedback! Dosen't make him lagit! [/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahDuck Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Glad to be of service. It seemed strange to me that the one on the MYA site was 23", but he claimed his to be 28". If they were both the same, I probably wouldnt have caught it.If you are going to scam people, at least do your research. Dickhead.Maybe we should get a sticky going regarding deadbeat vendors?

Sonthert Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Yeah, its one of the unfortunate politics of ebay, companies will sell you "positive" feedback commencing hundreds of sales at .01. Your feedback score goes up, they make money. You can tell the fake positive feedbacks, the most common one is "A++++++++" or however many plusses it has. My friend got a little shafted when he bought thing on ebay, so he emailed this company. They told him basically to shut up and accept it or they would "Bounce" his name and do the same thing with bad recs. for him, as a buyer, so his feedbacks as a buyer would suck so bad, nobody would sell to him.

mushrat Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 If your friend has those e-mails from genuinehookah on Ebay he can get them suspended or shut down if he complains.

Guest www.genuinehookahs.com Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 lol you people have no idea what you are talking about...my product is genuine MYA products and a lot of the products MYA makes arent on their website...as far as all these people accusing me of poor customer service...i dont know what to say...i have no idea who any of you are and doubt ive ever dealt with any of you...as far as my feedback is concerned...why dont you look at any ebay seller of hookahs feedback..nobody has perfect feedback..as a matter of fact hookahs are so hard to ship that EVERYONE who sells hookahs on ebay at a legitimate quantity as I do will get a few complaints here and there...why dont you morons look at the positive feedbacks and all the customers who are satisfied..The hookah above is 28 inches tall...you didnt even purchase the hookah and you are critisizing it.

dunhillsharp Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Wow genuinehookahs is absolutely pitiful... most of his good feedback comes from people who bought 99 cent mouthpieces from him, and somebody must have turned them in because they are no longer registered users. Actually if you do a little research, you find that all those people who bought his mouthpieces also bought high dollar items from other assuredly legitimate sellers, such as 1 cent xbox wallpapers, and 1 cent soap recipes. Real bargain hunters if you ask me. I guess what I draw from all this is that if you want to be genuinely scammed, buy from genuinehookahs...

Guest www.genuinehookahs.com Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 yea that is why im a legitimate silver power seller with over 100 hookahs orders every week many of which were referred from previous customers...because i scam everyone...get a life dunhill dont you have a wife to please or maybe a son to take to cheerleading practice?

logan91 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 at first i could understand why genuine hookah would be so angry, making accusations without ordering from him does sound pretty bad, posting a warning with no actual experience with the guy does seem a bit harsh, even though not many of the members post on this forum, i think a very large number of people read it, and you are messing with this guys lively hood, however, it doesnt seem like he really cares about his business, or he must be new to it, even though your anger is understandable, consider the many people who will be reading your response, and calmly and logically explain your point of view and make the other guy look dumb rather than freaking out, i dont really care about the moron comment, it might even be appropriate if you were just another jack posting on this forum, its just that you have a business to run, and calling any potential customer a moron is very bad for business lol, just a thought " With further inspection, it seems all of his REAL sales, had horrible complaints such as "Missing Pices" or "Wrong Hookah" or Hookah was not of correct size.

hookahexpect Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I bought a hookah from this merchant and I was completely satisfied. The hookah that I was provided from genuinehookahs was terific. I recently had a party and my cousins were over, and everything was great! I don't beleive that any of these individuals ever tested out genuinehookahs. I strongly beleive that they are other hookah sellers on ebay trying to get genuinehookahs out of business by telling potential buyers that genuine hookahs .com isnt a great place to shop. To potential shoppers: Buy from genuinehookahs. you will love it and if you don't they usually give you a full refund! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest www.genuinehookahs.com Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 there are problems that come with every business...every business owner has his complaints nobody in the hookah biz is perfect...and as much as i respect you logan, what these fools have done on the forum is beyond correction...there is nothing i can say or do to them to get them to change their current stance...they all jumped on the bandwagon to feel accepted...and the fact of the matter is i would rather defend myself to the haters on this forum and in the meantime make me look bad as a business then to kiss their ass and have them do jack in return...not to be cocky or anything but i inherited a middle eastern importing company when i was 20 years old now worth over 25 million dollars..We dont just sell hookahs, we import and resell EVERY middle eastern product from beirut pickles to belly dancer costumes...i dropped out of Cornell University with 96 credits having my future business already in my hands...I dont handle anything on ebay besides the emails...all of the work gets done by my already busy shipping manager...when we first came out, ill admit we tried taking the internet hookah market by storm with our unbelievably low prices...with the work we had to do in the warehouse everything became a mess with the online website...it became a hassle for us and people rightfully thought we tried scamming them out of their hard earned twenty bucks...one of my employees suggested ebay but i wanted nothing to do with it...he told me it was easier since postage can be purchased on paypal...see the problem we came across was we supply people with goods...but they picked up most of the stuff...packaging and shipping items was foreign to us...so i agreed to do ebay since it seemed fun to get our products out around the globe...asmuch as i hate to sound cocky i am in no way shape or form going to be getting on my hands and knees for the people who dont have the least bit of respect for me and my business...bunch of bandwagon riding losers who judge the quality of my products without even ever purchasing them...i stick to my word before...until you purchase from me then shut your mouth..you have no right to critisize me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunhillsharp Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Well I would like to thank genuinehookahs for his nice ad hominem attacks.. No, I dont have a wife, no I am not a teenager, and no, I do not like you either I am posting this because I know what you are doing. Must one's foot be caught in the trap to know it was set? Might it be better to weigh the evidence before you stick your foot inside? Well I have, and it looks bad. 1. Of genuinehookahs most recent 200 feedback, 109 are by people no longer registered with ebay. 2. Of genuinehookahs most recent 200 auctions, 37 are for a 1 cent recipe ebook with "yea dawg...you know the drill" in the description. 3. Of genuinehookahs most recent 200 feedback, 5 are negative and 7 neutral. 4. A large portion of the legitimate appearing auctions of genuinehookahs most recent 200 auctions are either for womens clothing or for three kings charcoal (half the time called three queens for no apparent reason). 5. A large portion of genuinehookahs actual hookah sales within the last 200 auctions have the negative and neutral feedback, most of which is do to broken, missing, or wrong items. From this sampling of the most recent 200 auctions, the trends speak for themselves: 1. The majority of genuinehookahs auctions are fake. (146/200 or 73%) 2. About half of the legitimate auctions are non-hookah related. (about 25/200 or 13%) 3. About one quarter of the legitimate auctions are for coal and such. (about 13/200 or 7%) 4. About one quarter of the legitimate auctions are for actual hookahs. (about 13/200 or 7%) 5. 9/12 or 75% of the negative or neutral feedback are for hookahs or related items.

Not sure if these are just smaller versions of the 3Kings, but I'm pretty sure they do exist Anyways, nice detective work Dun! It was a real eye opener.
