Found A Wonderful Wonderful Place

[EternalSoil]

Just so you guys know; PayPal does not allow tobacco to be sold through them.

So, you can't PayPal him money for shisha. Hookah's are ok, but not the shisha.

[Scoop]

you can send him money for other goods...such as a gift, or a birthday present...

[kryptiq]

oh man, I get paid in a week or so, you might be interested in making a trip there and picking up a KM and some shisha for me if I paypal'd you the money?

Yeah I have no problems getting stuff for anyone, and shipping it. I'm going to go back today and I plan to ask the guy for sure if he can get certain KM's in particular.

An1m if this guys products are still as cheap as you claim this July(I work in LBI over the summers) I will send some free stuff your way for this info If the products are at the same price I plan on spending quite a bit there.

Update:

I went back today and the Starbuzz was 16.99 a tin not 12, skyzz was 12 and I got confused by the knockoff tin design.

I got a Mya QT for 30 bucks and 3 charcoal carriers fo assorted sizes for 10 @_@. 72 Coconut coals for 4 bucks and some 250's of AF.

He had:

Khalil Mamoon Tri-Metal Heart of Lion (s) X 5
Khalil Mamoon Pharonie (x2 or 3)
A short (about the size of a Pharonie) All Silver KM that I did not recognize (x2 or 3) Could have been an all silver Tri-Metal
A Heart of Lion sized Tri Metal Hookah I also have never seen, which looked to be a KM.

Now, here's the Clincher. NONE of the KM's have engraved trays, though they come in KM vases I recognize, some of them signature vases. I checked out a few of the hookahs which appear to have rust in the hose ports, and the brass looks sort of sloppy in places, I don't know if they're normal KM imperfections of if I should be more skeptical. Also the hookahs don't COME with hoses. He has Myas and some weird KM hoses that appear to be from the 1950's.

All the KM's had standard KM Egyptian bowls too.

He says that he can order any KM that I would like and would charge slightly more for doing so. What are you guys' thoughts on this? I ended up not buying any of the KM's because of the aforementioned reasons.

If you could get some form of trimetal icebucket one I would be so stoked!

[An1m]

I guess if he orders the KM's we know they're legit, but doesn't the fact that they don't have hoses or engraved trays make anyone skeptical of their authenticity? They all looked like beautiful KM's, the stems, the bases but then there were normal mya style trays and no hoses. Boggles my mind.

I didn't want to buy one and smoke it just to be sure it was really a KM haha Edited March 8, 2009 by An1m

[tinyj316]

sounds a bit sketch to me...

[supersubby]

maybe the new ones will have a tray

[Scoop]

bah, we need pics! =(

[An1m]

if you ever cooked on high it does the same thing. but i have some white crap build up on my coil where the coals go

Yeah I'm hoping so. If you guys give me a list for sure of what you want, I'll have him order them and I'll make it very clear that if they don't have hoses and proper trays I won't pay for them.

maybe the new ones will have a tray

I was thinking and hoping for the same.

bah, we need pics! =(

Yeah I didn't have my digital camera. My phone has a camera but I thought there was no way for me to move the pics. I forgot I had an SD card at home.

Also, in other news: I saw the video from your avatar pic on youtube scoop. My girlfriend and I laughed our asses off hahahaha. I was on the forum and saw your avatar ad was like "I have to find this video!" Edited March 8, 2009 by An1m

[Scoop]

hahah yeah, so good

From talking to Eric the way KM does it is that they sell the stuff individually and you can mix-match. You can buy whatever stem, ashtray, vase, hose and mix match. Some places just forgo the KM astray and buy some cheapo one. Just look at the part where the tray rests. If that has the KM stuff on it you are fine.

[EternalSoil]

you can send him money for other goods...such as a gift, or a birthday present...

But if they find out it was for tobacco, they might cancel your account.

Just letting you all know, not trying to burst your bubbles.

Why don't you just send him money for shipping.
He's one of those eBay sellers that charges you stupid shipping prices.

An1m you're suck an ass for charging ridiculous shipping!

[Sonthert]

There are Chinese knockoffs of KMs around now, look like KMs, unscrew like a Mya or something, downstem unscrews. Aluminum components.

Zinite, too bad about Moon, I liked those guys. You should tell them you love Tangiers and you can sell it all for them and sell it to Forum members.

Ahh well that's what confused me most, the place where the tray rests was engraved. So I thought they were legit. Should I be at all worried about the apparent rust in the hose ports?

I inspected them and they don't unscrew and did not appear to be aluminum. Thanks for the tip though.

the km's are really only $55? I might have to go get one before i head back to college

[An1m]

Yup. I've come to the conclusion that they are indeed real, just no KM trays andno KM hoses. If you don't mind either of those things then go for it.

[Mr.Frosty]

So they sell AF and SB .. anything else brandwise?! Edited March 9, 2009 by Mr.Frosty

I was kidding.

Basically, because you can't sell tobacco through paypal you will have to give it to them.

But their shipping would be really high.

And I think I meant "...you're such an ass..."

Ahhh okay gotcha. I thought you thought that I was trying to turn a profit on these or charge some egregious shipping amount haha. Not jumping to conclusions FTW!
