mushrat Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 This time under the name Hookahsupplys. Everyone recognise the pictures and descriptions?http://cgi.ebay.com/750G-3-Boxes-JASMINE-R...%3A1%7C294%3A50Watch out, this is repackaged, over priced Nakhla or another cheap brand.

Zinite Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 "the packaging has a value that substantially exceeds the current retail price of the molasses in the package"It's packaged in tightly woven dollar bills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezter6 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Seems like overpriced isn't really what I'm seeing - looks like $5 for 750g of Nakhla isn't what I would call being taken advantage of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pay $1 for shisha that had been opened and repackaged, regardless of how much it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a big deal to me. It looks like Nakhla, I've confirmed with someone that has ordered from him that it was Nakhla, however I didn't notice that it was repackaged product.If it was his way of screwing ebay and selling cheap tobacco, I got no problem with it. If he's screwing end customers - then I have a problem with it...but thus far aside from crappy customer service, I haven't seen anything that says he's that bad.

inino Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 why is it repackaged is the real question. if its 750g it should be in the original package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie505 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have not had a problem with GH back in the old days. But I agree if he is repackaging stuff then that is messed up. His wording on the eBay add is interesting. the hookah molasses does not contain tobacco. This could be correct, because he may thing the tobacco contains molasses. its all on the wording. But I do agree it is a bit of false advertising, and could lead into trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 He's had rather a few accounts smacked by ebay. Now imagien that WE know its tobacco..but someone looking for tobacco free orders it thinking he's tellign the truth. This could have BAD results for the person thinking they are getting a tobacco free product.So he's screwing people who dont want to smoke tobacco.

jezter6 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'm not concerned that ebay smacked him.I'm not concerned about people who are looking for soex that get Nakhla (really, I'm not).I don't care that he's skirting ebay policies. He's trying to make some cash and offer what people want in spite of their policy to forbid it. Sure, he's being unethical to a point, but so what? If his prices are good and the Nakhla is good - why should we care?Even more - why should we tattle on him? Unless there's a backstory here that I'm missing....

Unless there's a backstory here that I'm missing....well..of course there's a back story.Besides..if you ordered Nakhla and got soex wouldn't you be upset?Or if you ordered a km and got a no name? you'd report the person for fraudulent listing...so why not get someone BEFORE they can rip someone off?I;ve reported him as well.

xpimpitox Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Theres a huge backstory on this guy when he used to be a member of the forums. It's too much to get into details but he basically ripped a few members off on more than one occasion and sold products claimin they are one brand when they really werent (3K coals if I remember correctly).

Stuie Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Well I don't know the story on him, but i have ordered from him several times on eBay and gotten Legit Nakhla Never Opened. Matched Texture, Taste, Smell and Smoke to the same exact flavors I was replenishing. Maybe I got lucky. But 6 Kilos and all legit and with shipping factored in $5.25 a box...maybe I am just REALLY lucky. But due to this concern my last order will be my last.

Stuie Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Took me a second... I remember the eBay drama he caused now. Had no idea it was the same guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
