kesslercollins Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Anyone in the need for 9000 hookahs? Check it out:http://cgi.ebay.com/HooKahS-9000pcs_W0QQit...A1%7C240%3A1318I have seen the price drop twice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Kinda cheap considering ordering 9000 of them from H-S would cost almost $500,000 even with the forum discount lol. Could make a killing reselling on ebay, although it might take you quite awhile to get rid of them all lol.

jezter6 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yeah, I'm gonna spend $150,000 on mini Mya's and give that money direct to a guy with 0 feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've contacted MYA, see if they are "Missing" 9000 hookahs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kesslercollins Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 When I found it I thought it must be the "clearance" Mya's that I see all over right now. That made me think (having worked QC in a factory for years): enough bad parts made it out that they are around being offered for a discount. I would expect only about 5000 would make it threw before someone shut down the "line" to fix the problem, and even that number is high to me. Than I see 9000 in one place! I started to question what the hell is going on with Mya and if I should be looking at other brands of hookahs for future purchases.QUOTE (jezter6 @ Jan 15 2009, 08:51 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah, I'm gonna spend $150,000 on mini Mya's and give that money direct to a guy with 0 feedback. You know, I did not even notice that, that makes me think differently... I knew it could not add up with the reputation that Mya has, this puts the ball in a different court that mushrat hit on.QUOTE (mushrat @ Jan 15 2009, 09:12 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I've contacted MYA, see if they are "Missing" 9000 hookahs. If that turns out to be the case mushrat, just remember who gave you the info on it. I wonder if we can get any info on the seller to find out if any company that would have picked up a large order from Mya is missing any either. Either that I wonder if Mya would even confirm if they sent out an order of 9000 in the past week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An1m Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 How absurd, why wouldn't he just break them up into nine one-thousand-piece lots. Obviously there's not too many people that can take on that kind of inventory. Also It'd probably take years to get rid of all of those retail, even if you just gave them away like H-S does.

freezerburn456 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 They probably arent even real Myas at all. I have seen a few good knockoffs in recent months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a arab food store recently and they had a hookah for 29.9 that looked identical to the mya qt except I noticed the base was about an inch too small in diameter and then i asked to see what box it came in and i noticed it was a fake chinese. funny when they are faking things they make in the first place.

mushrat Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 still no word from Mya, I'll let you know soonest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Ok, so here's the scoop.Some of you may recall Spencers Gifts at one time about a year and a half to 2 years ago started carrying Mya stuff. Well, some idiot up north put a NHT type sign up with the hookahs and that was the end of that experiment.So Spencer's tried to sell them back to Mya at a very low price, just to recoup something. Mya said, thanks, but no thanks, so they sold them to someone else. Something like 3000 blue and 6000 green ones. They then tried to sell them back to MYA as well, at a jacked up price. Mya said, um no, but thanks...So now this guy/guys are stuck with 9000 mini Myas and they are going to have to spend the money on marketing them....

Giant Ninja Robot Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Oh that answer was so much better than what I was expecting! Now the poor shmuck has to sell em all off lol, that's priceless (actually pretty expensive).On a second note, we should petition the dude to sell em to us forum members at a very reasonable price.I'm thinking like 5-10 bucks a pipe? That'd be pretty damn sweet.BTW Spencer's is a horrible horrible place, unless you happen to be a 11 yr old boy who giggles alot.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 If we were to email the guy with a potential promise of 1-2 hundred offers you think he'd bite?we could arrange some sort of miniphunnel type dealfor that matter would there be enough interest in them here?

PhxKarma Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The item ended, and the guy has 0 feedback, I wonder if the transaction went through? We should contact him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well the ebay price works out to about 16.66 a pipe so if we were to try this i think about 10-12 bucks a pop would be fair? that's assuming we can use the fact that selling 9000 is prolly just NOT going to happen to our advantage?edit - on that note i dont have paypal so if someone seriously wants to try to arrange this with me who has paypal and is a member in goodstanding, pm me and we'll toss some ideas around etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
