Coleman Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Ok ladies and germs I found a Pharonie locally and like the pipes style but the guy want 90 bucks it's like 5 months old apparently how much would you think would be a good price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rooker Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 90 sounds good to me...tell me again why age matters? it's not like it depreciates or anything. Just clean it before you use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 To me, the OLDER a KM is, the more valuable it is... KMs aren't made like they used to be. Either way, $90 for a Pharonie is a bit on the high side for being used, I think. I saw them recently here locally going for $99 brand new. Offer him $70 and see what happens. If he doesn't take that, then offer $80 and start walking away and see if he caves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 You think offering 50 would be too low? Then maybe aiming for 60 or 70 I mean yeah it's a KM but it's nothing THAT special and 90 is just too much for me I want to spend as little as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have the Pharonie, but, 30% off an already good price is pretty good. I got a can of Starbuzz, a 38" KM 1001 Nights, box of CCN 108 coals, and some grommets for $164 shipped. But, offer him $50, if he's insulted he won't let you walk out the door for less than $90 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 No he said well used for 5 months ahhaha my bad for not saying that. I'm trying to stay local haha fuck paying shipping I wish HC still had te warehouse and wasn't owned by h-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I guess it couldn't hurt offering $50 at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 I asked him if he would be will ing to just sell the shank and base since I have 3 hose and the bowl was a vortex XD which I would never use. I can just go buy a tang bowl from Eric hahaha so now it's a waiting game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn shame... old KMs are boss. Coleman, I'd get this ^^^ over the Pharonie, personally. But get what you like and can get the best deal on.

dizzbizz Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks Chris. Apparently people don't see the true value in old KM's. Its ok though. I'll have it for that much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinx23 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 i have both an old and knew. I see practically no difference. I went to a trade school for high school so i know a clean weld when i see it. and both of them have very good ones. expect the old one is of about a degree and a half. maybe i just got lucky? whats wrong with the new ones?

[/quote] There's nothing wrong necessarily with new KM models, it's just that often the welds are extra sloppy compared to the old ones. Also, I don't like the models they have these days. I much, much, much preferred the older ones, such as the Mashal, etc. The new ones with the stars and shit welded on, the painted ones, the oxidized ones, just make me think, "Really? C'mon now." If they just kept the old models coming in to the States and added the new ones they have now, I wouldn't mention this as much I suppose. I dunno, maybe they are still making those models over there, but the importers think this new shit is what Americans want. But yeah, the welds definitely seem to be a problem. They just don't seem built as well as they used to. That's not to say they are total crap now, though. I still recommend KM everyday on here.

CO_hookah Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I picked up a brand new Pharonie for $85... But, that's just because a buddy of mine cut me a deal. $90 isn't terrible considering what they go for online. I would definitely offer him lower, and work from there. But that's just the haggler in me speaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
