To The Dealers On The Boards Regarding Tangiers


Recommended Posts

we all love tangiers, would it be possible to have a dealer here setup a "group buy coupon code" where the price would be dropped on tangiers by a few dollars if a certain amount of it was ordered from any # of people on the forum?

so for example:

people buy packs of tangiers and enter the group coupon code.
if/when the chosen amount is reached, thats when the product is shipped at discounted price.

if the goal isnt reached by a certain time(set by dealer) orders are canceled.


whos in? (as long as a dealer is willing to work on the price by a little bit)

id like to stock up.

i'm always game to help out but we all (reputable online vendors) have a 3 pack if I'm not mistaken, add that to your discount forum code and you are getting OG at $12.20 or so. ($15 reg price) I would suggest instead of grouping together others on the boards, that you only know from the boards and try to save another $1 or so, save yourself the hassle and order on your own terms. That way you get what you want when you want and not rely on others who say they will participate but will not be quick to pony up any cash.
You have to realize that shisha is the product that we make the least amount of margin on. For example if you were to order 100 pieces from me you wouldn't be saving a ton more, my 2 cents.

A group buy would be tricky. Managing the money would be a hassle in itself because the use of pp is out the window.


I don't think that's what he's getting at.
Example
Step 1) Vendor gives discount to hookah forum members if, and only if, he gets 500 orders
2) We get 500 people to make an order of Tangiers
3) Vendor ships it out as usual, profits from the increase in volume

Is that right click?

almost every vendor already has discount codes, or theyre offering it as cheap as they can. these vendors that we all love so dearly have to make at least a little money or else they go under.

Agreed. The main benefit I can think of is that this might get people to buy more baccy from the vendor. Example: lets say there is a minimum order of 500 packs. Lets say that 450 have been spoken for and there are 2 days left. Some of the people may go ahead and up their order just to make the mark. But, I don't know their margins or anything like that.

Also, I think baccy would be extremely hard to do this with because there are so many flavors. The vendor would have to stock enough to fulfill the order, but then get stuck with all that baccy if the deal falls through. However, it may work if it is limited to 3-4 flavors or something like that.

I think this is a good idea as long as there is a vendor to support it, but I think that maybe it should be tried on something else that (according to John) has a bit more of a profit margin. Maybe a specific hose, small phunnels, hookahs, or maybe even mini phunnels...eric (sorry eric, i haven't bugged you in awhile wink.gif )

If you really want a good deal on tangiers, save your money, drive/fly to san diego, but a shitton of tangiers from eric directly... sure, its not the most economical way to do it... but if you get a cheap flight, and buy a boat load of shisha, you're bound to save money...right?

Most of the discounts from the forum are 15% I think. Don't quote me on that though. I think I saw a vendor offering Tangiers by the kilo, but that may have been a 5-pack deal. I can't remember...

Also, Utah has joined Montana in making internet sales of tobacco illegal into their respective states, from what I understand. Washington also followed suit...although they are trying to pass an amendment to exclude pipe tobacco internet sales from the ban, which is hookah smokers.

Its that pesky Constitution of The United States of America getting in the way again. It prohibits the taxation of interstate trade. So, they just ban it, since the Supreme Court has upheld that they can't tax it. Founding Fathers FTW!
