Christopher Mason Taylor Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) This pipe's listed locally. I'm probably going over to look at it today. Anyone have any ideas what it might be, and more importantly what it would be worth to pay (assuming it's in good working shape other than the missing ash tray)?

Chreees Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Looks like a generic Egyptian. I personally wouldn't pay more than $30 or so. But I'm really picky these days. Really just depends on how much you like it when you see it in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 That pic is tiny, especially on a phone, but it looks to me like a generic Egyptian pipe. Looks similar to the one I have. Check to make sure the hose port and puurge valve are connected well. Check that it is air tight. I wouldn't pay more than $25-$35 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Mason Taylor Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Meh. Guy wants $45. Sounds like a bad deal then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 If you don't have anything else to do, go look at it and offer the guy $25 for it. He might take it. Try to look a little disappointed when you first look at the pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 if its in good shape, 45 bucks really isn't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A13lackFish Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Agree with Mush, $45 bucks for a good condition hookah, generic or not, is seriously not bad at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santino Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Offer him 35, see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joytron Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I would not buy anything used unless it was an absolute steal. Most people keep their pipes in terrible condition. Keep in mind the hose is surely no good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Mason Taylor Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 We were supposed to meet up this weekend. After saying he was available, dude flaked. Doesn't bode well for future dealings with him. I might take a look at it still just out of curiosity, but I doubt I'll be coming close to that asking price unless it's in great shape and built like a tank.

dingo1799 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 if you didnt get it, and want a good hookeh, email me @yahoo.com, i have a KM black pear, i'll sell it for $100. i used it once and its sat ever since, it was too tall for my methods of smoking. includes a brand new narbish, still has the tag on the handle.

cyber wolf Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 eh, 45 bucks is kind of steep for a generic used hookah.. just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6spdsurfer Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Buying a used hookah kinda weirds me out. I'm not sure why, maybe it's a touch of OCD but I just can't ever know how it was treated... or where it's been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Mason Taylor Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Honestly, my biggest thing is used hookahs on forums tend to go for pretty high prices for something that's undoubtedly been peppered with the germs of other people. Coming from headphones forums, used ones in great shape would still go for about half the street price or less, and that's just touchings someone's hair and skin. These things get germs from peoples' mouths. Just seems insane. The reason I was considering this one is that it was still significantly less expensive than I'd pay for a nice Egyptian new, and if it turned out it was exceptionally sturdy in person, it might have been well worth it. No way I'd pay $80-100 for a KM from a member on here when I could buy one brand new for $60 or less from a decent vendor.

Not sure where you'll find a brand new KM for $60. Mind putting up some links? Overall, most of the prices I see for good quality pipes on here being traded seem about right. EDIT: I also think it has a lot to do with just opinion of what something is worth... For example: To me, an older KM is worth more than a new one. Why? I think they used to build them better back a few years ago. Simple as that. This is why I personally would price an older used KM slightly higher than a newer used one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeetsak Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 the pipe is not the thing that has germs. its the hose. i have only bought two hoses off the net and they were both like new and washable. every hing i buy used i use a touch of dish soap and hot water to wash out. for the hoses i used rubbing alcohol to rinse them out. and if anyone thinks that the pipes that come from the facotry are clean they are very very wrong. you should see some of the sludge ive washed out of a new KM,.... at least the used pipe was used and the seller survived to sell it to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
