kcmo Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 [color=#222222][size=2]I recently found this hooka at an estate auction at what I think was extremely cheap price, but I have no knowledge of hookas at all. I have been reading some of the comments on here and found a lot of people saying that taking it to a shop may be a bad idea because they would try to rip me off, and that was my first idea. The case that it comes in is an Elegance Group. The history I got from it was an older gentleman had been in Iraq and had it shipped over before he left. It has never been used. The base is a blue heavy glass, with hand painted flowers. The tray looks like brass, the stem is either glass or brass also, the hose feels like rubber, but I'm not all that sure, and the mouth piece is wooden. If anyone could give me their opinion that would be excellent! I live in the Kansas City, MO area, and if anyone knows of a reputable Hooka Bar I could take it to that also would be awesome. Thanks![/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It's a chinese pipe. Not of any significant value. Are you trying to sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yup, chinese. But looks decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcmo Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yes I am interesting in selling it, and am trying to get an idea of what I should ask for. I paid $25 for it at an estate auction, and I think I got a really good deal on it. I have emailed pics to some of the Kansas City hooka bars, but as I have read people tend to think they will try to rip me off that's why I got on here to get an unbiased opinion from people who hopefully know what they are talking about. Again, I have not smoked hooka, but after the research I have been doing I'm really interested now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think your best bet would be to put it on ebay. That way you will sell it to the person who is willing to pay the most for it. You might even get your money back out of it. Hookah lounges are going to be looking for wholesale prices and aren't going to bother with buying just one pipe, especially from just some random person who sent them pics.

mushrat Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 or you can keep it, get some tobacco and coals, and join in the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcmo Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 So does everyone think that a retail value of $25 is about what this is worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 If someone will pay you $25 for it, then yes, that is what it's worth. Value is a funny thing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Assimilate or die! I can't see the pic on my iPhone currently, so that's all I have to offer. I do agree though that eBay will get you the most money if you decide to sell it. We here on the forum are more selective in what we buy. I have a Group Elegance vase, and if it's anything like mine, it's a VERY nice vase. Would easily pay $25 for another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
