Giant Ninja Robot Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) Hey yall!I asked in chat a few minutes ago if anyone could ID this hookah I'm considering buying and Stuie said it looks like a brass Iranian pipe - I personally have no freakin clue but it looks nice and has never been used - also it's in my city so pickup would be a cinch.http://detroit.craigslist.org/for/790357365.htmlI love the vase with the kingly looking guy and think it's pretty unique. Based on looks alone I'm planning to pick up the pipe but I'd love to know if anyone has experience smoking from this or one similar.Also what do you think is a fair offer since they are asking 50 obo (which means of course I'm not paying 50) and I suck at bartering?I have very little extra cash flow so I really don't want to pick up a hookah that smokes like crap even if it looks nice. Form follows function and all that.Thanks and What do you think? Edited September 4, 2008 by giant ninja robot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I agree with what Stuie said. Looks Iranian for sure.Check it out in person and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I could swear that last year HC had a very similar hookah in stock with the pic on the vase and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Also if the consensus ends up being Iranian how is that for a pipe and the price? Decent pipes do the Iranians make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Iranian hookahs are rare on this coast. So not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidglass Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Looks good to me, I'd let her know I was interested and see if you could get a closer look at the stem itself, pics or in person. As far as haggling tell her your money situation (like gas etc) and start at 35 then meet her at 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victim026 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yeah I wouldn't worry much with the metal stem, shouldn't have any problems smoking anything. I agree see if you can get her to agree on $40 if you'd like to pick it up since you don't really have anything to judge it's worth off of.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Decided against it since I have to manage my hookah funds and would rather use the 40 bucks towards other stuff from an online vendor than an off the cuff buy.Thanks for all the help and I did pass on the info to the seller to enlighten her.

Stuie Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 *sigh* I wanted to see some close up picks of the stem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 I did offer to give her more solid info if she is willing to send me some better pics so fingers crossed Stuie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
