It's too bad I've passed on from KMs. Pretty good deals to be had here, folks. Just proves that US vendors are insanely marking up KMs these days... At the KM shop in Egypt, you can pick up a KM for like $30. That's stem; vase, hose, everything. Wholesale prices for vendors here in the States are about the same... Yet when it comes to the consumer, we're stuck paying upwards of $200. This is one of the reasons why I have the "hookah industry is cutthroat" quote that I stated while back in my sig. ;) What I'm trying to say is, KM prices are only as high as they are for US consumers because US consumers have shown they are willing to pay the price. Me personally, I wouldn't pay over $100 for one, which is the price of an OG Tri few years ago (god I miss George at HC and his awesome KM prices). Stop buying them at these ridiculous prices, and prices will come down. Also, it doesn't make sense to pay more nowadays for a product that has certainly declined in quality. Quality was much better years ago when prices were lower. So tell me how a more expensive product that is lesser quality makes sense! /endrant

Yeah all four KM's I have are older except the double kamanja but that thing is solid and they are perfectly welded, solid, everything is welded straight, no bits of metal inside the pipe, everything is perfect. I have owned a few newer KM's and while I wouldn't say the quality was bad, I do find their quality control is not as good. So I would say their quality for the most part is the same, BUT you have a better chance of getting one that is put together poorly if that makes any sense.

I know whatcha mean Chris.  I bought my tri-metal for $90 bucks with the vase and hose from Neal.  It was 5 years ago, so I do expect the prices to go up, but I really stopped paying attention to KM when they came out with a buttload of variations.  I miss the simple days of the Amer, Tri-metal, Hafa, Exotica, Pear, ice bucket, etc.  Oh god, what's the name of that brass core ice bucket KM?  It came with a badass vase.
