Giant Ninja Robot Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Self explanitoryhttp://detroit.craigslist.org/fuo/949262362.htmlhere's a pic from gothookahs to compare it tohttp://shop.gothookahs.com/product.sc?cate...mp;productId=22What'dyou think? KM? Legit deal no bs? Looks completely legit as far as the KM aspect. Purge is different but I've seen straight purge valves on KMs b4. Stem is the same, even the bowl looks the same. Hose is crappy but that means nothing.Already left a message and I checked only a couple hours before and the post didn't exist, so there's a great chance I was the first to reply. Only 25 minutes away and I used to live in the same city.I'M FREAKING OUT!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Even if it's a shit hookah that looks like a good one... who cares? it's $10, and you get two funky pillow things to sit on. Gotta be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does, if I had to guess I'd definitely say it is. Shape/size seem to be dead on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippo_Master Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 It looks like an Amoura. But beware, things that are usually given for free have defects or are so beat up the person doesn't even wanna smoke it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'm simply hoping that the dude doesn't know the value of the pipe or it's a mom who's trying to get rid of it or something.Remember not everyone's a diehard smoker like we are. Hookahs are growing as a trend and have been for years.Yeaaaah I'll actually use the pouffes too, they go with our decor.We shall seeeeee.........I'll update when I find out details of courseAnd even if it's shite quality, I'll have an extra vase and parts to use.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Guy called me back tonight but I was at work and he told my wife he'll call back tomorrow. Excited to find out what's up, I might have the pipe (if the offer's legitimate) tomorrow afternoon/evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 keep us posted....i'm just waiting to be jealous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Well the wait for jealousy is no longer an issue Antouwan....Because I gots me a free Green KM Amoura!I called the guy again tonight and a dude with an arabic accent answered. He told me that. yes, the pouffes were 5 dollars each and the hookah would be thrown in for free, so I told him I'd be right over and after a quick stop at the ATM I was down the freeway on my 20 minute journey to my old hood and a free hookah...Funny enough the guy lives in the same complex 2 of my friends have lived in so I knew right where to go, which was cool. I pulled up to his place and he came out with the pouffes, which are actually really nice and comfy, from Ikea, and in new condition. They'll be GREAT for when I have hookah smoking buddies over.He goes back into his place and comes out with my new love. A beautiful green KM amoura. And he gave it to me. Gave it to me. GAVE it to me.... To answer the burning WTF question, I think he was a n00b (a very nice n00b) as the pipe isn't very clean and he taped over the purge valve hole with foil wrapped underneath. Also the really nice KM style bowl was shattered at it's stem which he had.....duct taped *facepalm*. Also the tongs he gave me were tarnished beyond belief. Perhaps just didn't know the value of the pipe he had.Even threw in some "3 crowns" QL coals which went promptly in the garbage and a 50g of arabica DA. So seeing as he was a middle eastern college aged guy with some DA and a KM I'm thinking it was n00bness mixed with family tradition.AT ANY RATE: The thing is beautiful...there is a tiny bit of tarnish in spots but GNU gave me the great idea to take my dremel and the polishing attachment to it. I put the purge valve from my leaky rotator on it and it fits perfectly. I switched outthe bowl and hose grommets. I need to give it a deep clean and wrap some electrical tape around the stem beneath the vase grommet to tighten it up which I'm doing tonight.Seriously I'm so happy...has the Mamoon stamp on the tray holder and the ashtray. Thing is much lighter than my Zahirah, but I kinda like that about it. The acrylic pear is nice and the vase is something to behold (compared to my plain KM vase). It's got the gold and frosted glassrings down the stem of the vase and from the bottom up it's got this nice gold leaf looking pattern. Even came with a green base protector.And if this all wasn't enough, it matches my current yellow and green KM Ultimate hose perfectly, which is really cool.BEST HOOKAH RELATED CRAIGSLIST DEAL EVER?!?!?!?! I think so.Musta built up some karma points somewhere along the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
