Badshah Hookahs?

[delSol_si]

Has anyone ever heard of Badshah hookahs? I found a lot of 6 of them for really cheap. I really don't have the extra money for them right now, but if these are decent hookahs, this would be the perfect opportunity to expand my collection of hookahs enough to hold a hookah night at college when school starts back up and hopefully will have a job by then(it's not everyday you find a bundle of hookahs for cheap). I figure I can put in on my CC and will have a month to pay it off. I don't want to get them though if they are just cheap shit that is going to fall apart after one use. Thanks!

I probably would hold off as I am guessing these are probably just cheap shit and I am still unemployed and money is getting tight, but I thought I would ask anyway. I tried to post the image but couldn't, so here is the link the auction if you want to see a pic.

well they look like crap haha, so idk. 70$ + shipping for 6 crap hookahs isnt bad though

Except if they're crap they won't smoke well and it won't be worth anything but eye candy. I dunno man they do look a little shoddy to me as well, but it's hard to tell from the pic and lack of a good description.

Ya, at first I was like "woohoo, 6 hookahs for $100, quality doesn't matter!" but then I thought about it and Z is right, if they don't smoke well, they don't smoke well, still waste of money. If they only last one session, still waste of money. I don't really buy hookahs to look at, I buy them to smoke. Thanks for the comments though, I do appreciate them. I still can't decide whether to take the chance or not...

After doing a bit of surfing on the net and finding next to nothing regarding reviews for them, if it were me, I'd stay away. I prefer to learn from other people's successes or failures when thinking about investing in something like this.

Of course, if you did buy them, you could pirate them for parts and maybe end up with something valuable in that regard.

If the bases are glass, it might not be such a bad thing to invest in. But what a lazy seller, the descriptions don't have nearly enough info and the photo is terrible.

I don't know - you have to balance your goals. Picking up six hookahs on the cheap if they smoke okay isn't bad if they're going to last a year and then you replace them one at a time as you start making money with them. If they fit into your plan, why not? Nothing wrong with starting out the less expensive route and then upgrade when you can.

They're junk. But if you take good care of them they should last a while. Bidding has ended BTW.

I'm actually not planning on charging for hookah nights. My only goal is to get more interest in hookah on campus and maybe meet some new people.

I decided against them. For one, I am with you guys, they are probably junk. Second, I figure I should probably wait until college actually starts and see how much I actually smoke and if anyone will actually even smoke with me before investing money in it. Plus, I don't know how the hell I would hide 6 hookahs plus my KM from my parents for 2 months...then trying to hide them while moving all my stuff into the dorms, haha!

Thanks again for your opinions and such! Edited June 14, 2009 by delSol_si
