scott_allan Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I found this in my Google Reader feed from Craig's List today. It was too ridiculous not to share with everyone. First the description... "Antique Saudi Decorative Hookah - $2500This antique decorative hookah or (Hubbly Bubbly) was given to my parents as a gift by a member of the royal family of Saudi Arabia and passed down to me. Due to harsh economic conditions I am forced to sell it although I'd rather not but I need the money. If interested please call xxx-xxx-xxxx. Cash Only, you pick up."First of all, I think it's hilarious that someone realizes that the economy sucks right now, but is ballsy enough to ask $2500 for a hookah. Second, $2500 for a hookah?? That damn thing better have a genie in it too.Here's a picture. Tell me what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalGuY Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 looks like a Gozaa, made out of wood, seen similiar variations of it in Jordan and Syria for around $15.Its good if you are only gonig to smoke one flavour out of it, as the wood absorbs the flavour, or if you smoke tumpak as they usually use wood..I wouldnt pay more than $40 for it unless the king signed his name on it somewhere..

liquidglass Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 So the "Royal Family" bought a nice hookah for (being generous) $30 then supposedly gave it to someone.....righhhhhhhttttt. And now b/c it's "special" it's worth $2500.What's that I smell.....*sniff sniff* Bull shit? why yes I think we just stepped in some.You should call the person and ask if they can verify it was given by a royal family member. Then tell them you'll give them $40 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kudomonster Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Yeah theres no way that's a 2500 dollar hookah. Maybe it's worth that much to him, but I think he's the only one that would say so.For some reason, before I clicked I expected some crazy meduse-esque pipe with a flux capacitor.
