Chreees Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Our buddy Neiman at UltimateHookah.com has Tang Smalls in stock. Get 'em while you can, folks! Note: These should be a good true small size, as Eric has said he is making the Smalls a bit smaller than they have been past couple years.

Chreees Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Black on top is my favorite, since it doesn't show burnt stuff so easily. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Those are definitely REAL smalls. I have 2 real smalls and they are that size, well at least based on the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 yeah I know but they are rare, it is the way it goes. with the discount it's like 24 and change ... could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 I know it sucks, but I think the days of $15 Tangiers bowls are gone. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsytheowl Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 yeah I know but they are rare, it is the way it goes. with the discount it's like 24 and change ... could be worse. + shipping. I guess that it is unrealistic to ask people to stop buying them at the inflated price so we can have our $15 smalls back. I know Eric hasn't raised the price of wholesale at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that it is unrealistic to ask people to stop buying them at the inflated price so we can have our $15 smalls back. I know Eric hasn't raised the price of wholesale at least No, he hasn't. So it's just us who buy online who get fucked. You're right, though- if people stopped buying them at the inflated prices then the price would come back down. Unfortunately, now that the online retailers know enough folks are willing to pay $30, they're going to continue charging that price. They will never come back down again, at least not to $15 (they may bring them down to ~$25). That's why I posted this thread- I've come to terms that this price is the new normal, so there's no point in trying to deter people from paying it; and I know my HF peeps want Tangiers Small Phunnels, so I figured I'd help some brothas (and sistas) out by giving the heads up. As for me, though, I personally refuse to pay that much for a Tangiers Phunnel bowl, because I know the extra money would be going to the vendor, not to Eric. That's why it took me so long to get a Pico- I waited until someone was kind enough to pick one up from the lounge for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitchy Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 yeah 30 dollars is bs... but i really wanted a proper sized small.. since pico / 7ico - smedium is such a difference but from the pics compared to 5stars small tang pics ( which is where i got my huge one ) UH smalls look to be a MUCH better size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that it is unrealistic to ask people to stop buying them at the inflated price so we can have our $15 smalls back. I know Eric hasn't raised the price of wholesale at least Just snag one along with coals and tobacco that you would need anyways and it is a flat rate shipping price. So you can't really say shipping is included in the price unless you only buy a tang phunnel and nothing else, which in that case ... I would say don't buy just a phunnel :-p yeah I know but they are rare, it is the way it goes. with the discount it's like 24 and change ... could be worse. Could it? What other good bowl costs nearly that much besides the hand-blown Crown ones? It absolutely could. Everyone always goes haywire when prices go up on products like this. IT-IS-THE-WAY-BUSINESS-WORKS. People want it, and they are hard to come by. So price goes up. Simple as that. Me being a business owner and being a seller online, I would do the exact same thing no question. Neiman as well as other vendors need to eat too, just like you and me. Until the market won't bare the price and they start sitting around and not selling, the price won't change, as I am sure you all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fouda Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 You could just send all your extra money to Eric directly :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoRSX Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 You could just send all your extra money to Eric directly :P I'm calling BS, I tried seeing if I could buy a particular flavor that wasn't in any of the online stores from him directly, at his desired price. Didn't even so much as reply to my message till 3 months later. I'm not interested int these in the slightest, as long as I have my Crown Micro's to keep me smoking.
