Nerdy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 That tangiers smalls and Pico's are available at 5star for 30 a pop (without shipping). It's not their typical package deal, it's the bowl itself. Enjoy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerdy Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 I think we are are looking at it wrong here. We need to understand that since gypsy tears (used to glaze the bowls) havr become increasing rare and hard to get (due to the apparent drought across america...no water, no tears) it only makes logical sense that the price went sky high on the bowl. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'll just post here what I posted on this thread: http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/49838-tangiers-small-phunnel-is-available/ I know it sucks, but I think the days of $15 Tangiers bowls are gone. :( 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 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. I mean, will the market bear a $30 stoneware bowl? I thought they were steep at 16.... Unfortunately people want them bad enough, so yes. I just hate how all the extra profit goes to the vendors, not Eric.

mushrat Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 30 bucks, he can put it where twoapples was suggesting. Thats only about double the normal price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trini Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 But in the long run won't the tobacco savings from using a pico pay for the bowl eventually, from the point of view of those who aren't lucky enough to have someone pick one up from the lounge for them?

Dereksd Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Living in San Diego is expensive but I guess one perk is cheaper Tang and bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 so yah i got 4 smalls like idk a year ago for back ups and what not just traded one for a pico because i didn't wanna drive to Sd lol lucky me people down here on craigslist dont understand prices of stuff or what not, so 9$ small traded for a pico. now i have a new pico plus my blue one and some #7s and medium and large and a couple smalls. So im happy. but he DID raise the price on bowls FYI for wholesale about a year ago but nothing really something to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
