Prices at local shops??


Recommended Posts

There is a local headshop here that sells Myas for about 300% mark-up. Literally. They are in Clifton and have the regular one hose mya glass in carrying case for around 289 bucks. I even asked if they were crystal and was told no... So... your milage may vary. ;)

here: a decent price for a 30 inch hookah in USD would be around $20. honest to god.

i got my first hookah (28 inch, egyptian, 1 hoser) at this kind of liquor shop for $12 (but i got the seller to discount for me)...

i can't belive you people pay such ridiculous prices for this stuff :P

by the way, the hookah i got was extremely good (still is) smokes like a champ.

if you guys are interested i might be able to ship them to you if you send me money :) he has loads in stock and he wants them to go...

Yea I have a friend that tried to bring back about 20 hookahs he bought for $10 a piece at the West Bank. Was gonna sell em back in the states on eBay. Tried to claim they were gifts. Customs didn't buy it.

yea, thats a cool OVERPRICED place, they charted me 4 bucks for 10 coals! and they were shity.

the moral of this story is head shops are not the place to buy hookahs, got to a middle east market or a real ta baco s tore!

the shi sha joint i go to here in nyc sells em for like 50-60$ depending, he gives you 1-3 hoses a rubber thing that goes on the bottom of the base to protect it from breaking a couple bowls and a few pairs of tongs.good shit.

We have a Mediterranean market here in Sacramento that sells Myas for a little bit above the prices on Myas site, but without paying shipping you break even. They also have a bunch of Egyptians (yashman19 bought one, said that it was very nice) for very reasonable prices (around $30 for the smaller ones, big giant mofo for around $60 or $70, I believe). Tobacco is great too (bought a 250g of Nakhla Chocomint for around $6.50).

I think the difference is whether or not the shop is catering to your local Middle Eastern community or not. If it does (like I believe our store out here does) your are much less likely to get raped. It is basically a grocery store with hookah stuff too. If you go to a headshop (like someone mentioned) where it is the latest and greatest trend, you are going to get hosed. There's one just a couple of blocks from my house that charges $5 for a roll of Goldens. FUNK THAT. Welcome back Greek!
