Barnaby Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I was kidding.. I couldn't in good conscience sell my $9 glass scalli for $30.. If I was going to sell it, I'd sell it for what I got it for, plus shipping.. I need to dust it off and see if there is any value in keeping it. I used it a few times when I first got it, but then I really haven't for probably a year.. remember, you can always make one out of foil, or an empty tealight.. IIRC, the only really good use for this it to cut down your shisha in a phunnel.. But, I have no problem reusing my unburnt shisha, which is what I typically do for Tangiers. I almost always smoke alone, and I don't do more than 2 rounds of coals at at time.. Still plenty untouched at the end of that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the wrong to make that statement. After going back and reading it, it wasn't a good statement for me to make, so I do apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngraz617 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I had an extra brand new Scalli Mod which I would have kept but someone posted that they wanted it bad so I sold it for $20.00. I figured what I paid, what I paid for shipping, what it cost me to ship and track it and threw in over 150Gms of free assorted top brand premium shisha without the guy knowing it with it because I wanted it to be worth what I was selling it for, he was thrilled. Now I want to buy a Zhu Zhu hamster for my kid and they are the hot toy this xmas and I went to walmart and they're $8.00 but sold out everywhere. I went on Amazon and the prices start at around $30.00 each plus shipping, it's a rip off, supply and demand. I didn't buy it, others will.

Spats Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 C'mon, cut them a break!They sent me my small Scalli mods with no hassle! One does what they HAVE to,to turn a buck in this current business environment! Not as chatty as they usedto be BUT they do deliver what they sell. I really wish their restaurant venturewere within driving distance of me! My local "Mediterranean" place SUCKS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretender85 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 plus you still "can" get glass scallis covers and bowls from them, just takes a good 3 weeks to get made and shipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngraz617 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 The problem is they don't let you know if you're getting it or not. I wrote them like 7 times in 10 days to see if I could order it and they don't reply so how can you feel comfortable giving them your credit card? The computer will take the money and send out a conformation immediately but what do you do sit and hope it shows up? Screw them, I can only imagine what a great business they could have if they would pick up the phone or answer an email. They should sell the company and the business could just make an announcement that they are under new management and it would probably be very profitable right away.

No offense, but this kinda shit pisses me off. Price gauging is gay....remember when 9/11 happened and all those gas stations decided to jack up their prices?? how did that make you feel? There is a lot of hookah love floating around the forums, which makes me happy, then stuff like this just disappoints me. I like spreading hookah love myself....i understand where you coming from bro, that can be said the same about the tangiers mini phunnel, someone told me you can buy them from eric for only $8 and yet on forums people want $30+ so if eric does indeed sell them for $8 and the cheapest ive seen is $35 thats a 300%+ mark up if my calculations are correct..so i dont see a problem with him asking what he is..remember it doesnt mean thats what its worth, but its what it will take for him to part with it..$30 is far from price gouging on a Mini, people just don't seem to get it. The original Mini cost was $20 during the special forum sale after shipping and we had to wait 6-8 months for it to arrive. PEOPLE NEED TO JUST GET OVER IT!!!!!
