I have legaly gotten a large amount of AL-WAHA molasses it is in 250g pkgs most of it is in sealed cases there is about 277 cases of 24 . there is 21 flavours but from what I have been told the most popular flavours are 2 apple,mellon,strawberry,and grape, here is my problem 1 all of this molasses was made in 2004 (does it go bad ) ?2 Is it legal for me to sell ? 3 where can I sell this ( I dont want to get into selling a case at a time would like to find a place that will take most of it if not all of it )4 what is a fair price to sell it for I was thinking about like 2 dollars a tub ??? 5 also in this lot there is about 40 cases of charcoal does this go bad again it was all made in 2004.Thanks for your advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novicafe Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'm in Novi about 20 minutes from you. Mind if you pull some of it out of the warehouse for me to check out? And If its legit you will have $50 and I will have molasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novicafe Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Heres the story guys. Some arabic people were renting out party of his warehouse, and they failed to pay rent so the building was seized and all legal issues were taken. Therefore he is left with all this tobacco and nothing to do with it because he is very unfamiliar with the hookah marketplace. I personally talked to him on the phone and everything seems legit. I plan on going tomorrow or this weekend to take some tobacco off his hands, and then come back home to smoke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteshadow Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 i got 5 on it, but for real if it's legit, I'm sure my friends and I would throw down a decent amount to pick some up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looloopoopie Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 After a brief hiatus to get settled back in school, I'm back. And more than willing to take some shisha off someone's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I would buy a case as long as I could get a mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Hookah Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'm not sure what state you live in and the laws that they have for tobacco, but I think you need a tobacco license to sell it, especially in that large of quantity, but I could be wrong. Try calling the department of revenue in your state and just talk to someone, would save you some time in money in going through legal hassles from not getting it. Just thought I would try to answer the legal aspect a little bit for you (since everyone else is more interested in the cheap tobacco , nothing wrong with that though...)

Volcom8234 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 If legit, that'd be great and i'd be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Like I said in the other post, if the manufacture date is May 2004, it is expired. Expired Al Waha on the wholesale market has a value of around $5/Kg, or $30/case of 24 250g tubs. It is probably NOT legal to sell it in the state of Michigan. As long as it crosses state lines, it should be legal, as long as federal taxes are paid on it. It is illegal for you, personally to cross state lines with tobacco that has not been tax paid without a special permit. Since you have no invoice to prove the Federal taxes were paid on it, they will assume it is not...taxes are about $2.40/Kg or $.60/tub. Catching you will be difficult, however. Fines are from $5000 to $25,000 depending. That price is fair...but you have to make mixed cases that represent your flavors...don't let people cherry pick you of your good flavors. Its likely most of it is crummy flavors anyways, but protect them...they may be the only things moving that shit for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 speaking of flvours what are the most popular flavours ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I like 2 Apple, Mellon, Pineapple, and Rose (rose for mixing) But I have not tried a lot of different flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 N. Texas members! Think it might be worth working up a group buy? try and get about 5-10 cases as starters, and some coals maybe?There are about that many DFW members alone. We could do well to save on individual shipping. Perhaps even a price negotiation with the order size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 count me in. No more than a case for me. Even giving some to friends that is going to be a lot of shisha laying around. Whatever I keep I want to be able to smoke within 6 months since the stuff is already two years old. Some of my parties during football season we should go through a lot and some of my friends will buy their own hookahs so I know I can handle a case someway.
