jeremyk Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 i just purchased my 2nd mini last night cause i broke the 1st one i had. half the top part of the bowl broke off even though thanks to some duct tape it still works and it cost me $50 (my brother n I halfed it). what im asking is do yall think a mini is worth $50. Im glad i own a a new non-broken mini dont get me wrong but somehow i was able to get my 1st for $25. I know they r rare n i think thats what draws me to them. Who else would drop $50 for a mini tangiers phunnel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Eh, I traded 500g of K-Cherry for my first mini. So that's roughly around $30. I'm not sure if I'd pay $50 for one, but you guys buying them for $50 proves people are willing to pay that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainUM Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 i wouldn't. yeah, i hear they are great and all, but 50 bucks? i can buy 5 boxes of nak with that much and smoke for quite a long time with my egyptian. i think 50 bucks is pretty steep. i just ordered an HJ mini for like 17 bucks.

ih303 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 It might be worth that to a collector because of its rarity, but if I want a small bowl I go buy an Alien. I would like to get one eventually simply because I'd like to try it out. Same with the Super Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boludo Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I know I am the guy who sold it to you, so maybe my input won't be as valuable... for those saying that it would be better to buy an alien, all I can say is that compare to a real tangiers mini, the alien is a very crappy bowl. The quality of the smoke does not even compare to it. I do think it is worth it because you save tobacco without compromising the quality of the smoke... and the reason they are that expensive is because everybody wants one, but not everybody can have one... you can easily sell it back for $50+ when you decide you don't want it anymore...

antouwan Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 is it worth $50? obviously. someone paid $50 for it (you). personally, would i pay $50? no. i'm sure there are others out there that would have paid $50, and if you decide to sell it, i'm sure you can get $50 for it. as others said, i would get an alien. when comparing the mini to an alien, was that to the more recent aliens, or the older ones? because imo, the first batch of aliens didn't smoke all that well, but i also have some from recent batches and they're fantastic. is the mini better than an alien? maybe. is it $30+ better than an alien? i don't think so.

[/quote] na man your imput is as vauleable as anyone else's. i agree with what u said about the way they smoke and they everyone is head hunting for them. i feel the same way and im not knocking the price u set im stoked about the red mini im just wanted to know how other people feel about the mini. there has been 4-5 mini's on the trade block in the last few weeks and they've all sold for around $40-50.

Arcane Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Antouwan has the right idea....any product is worth how much someone is willing to pay for it. Is a mini phunnel worth $50? If someone is willing to pay for it, the yes. If someone is willing to sell their car for the bowl, then it's worth quite a bit more....to THAT person at least. I'd pay $30 tops for a rare bowl...

dizzbizz Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 The novelty of it is cool, but I definitely would not pay 50 for it. Its not revolutionary or anything, it just holds a small amount of tobacco. I'm fine with my mini Egyptian, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boludo Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 at least the bowls I have I would say that the mini holds about 20g; the small about 30g; the medium 45-50g; and the large about 70g.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Au contraire, I have a small thats the same size as a mini, a medium thats the same size as a large, a medium thats the same size as a small, and a large that is far larger than my others. If that doesn't get your brain crying, I also have a large superchief that holds about the same amount of tobacco as my biggest small (which is smaller than a medium but bigger than a normal small). ^ that sounds like the beginning of a test question. Put the bowls in order from biggest to smallest given the clues stated above. You have 45 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
