shisha fan Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 hi, i`m pretty new to this forum (registered about a month ago) and i really like it. i noticed that a lot of people here have a lot of experience with different kinds of hookahs, therefore i would like to have your opinions on a hookah that i am planning to purchase off ebay. you might wonder why i don`t just order a pipe from a website like hookha-shisha.com, well that`s because i am located in the netherlands and i can use paypal for international transactions. i have already owned a hookah, but i was a bit clumsy and fell and dropped it, so the base broke and all. here is the link to the hookah on ebay (the description is in german, if you were wondering what kind of language it was): http://cgi.ebay.nl/SHISHA-WASSERPFEIFE-93-...oQQcmdZViewItem oh, and please don`t give me a hard time about grammatical errors, i`m only 18 and still improving on english. thanks for your time, shisha fan.

Macho555 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Wow thats a very pretty one...I would usually advise against ordering from ebay, but...I can't read anything on the page to know about the seller, nor do i know sellers in NL, nor do I know any sites that could ship to you... That things gorgeous though, I would like to own it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Well, being unable to read any of it or translate the cost into us dollars, I dont know if its a good deal or not... It looks like a pretty standard eqyptian hookah. Do you still have the rest of your original hookah? You can get replacement vases (glass) pretty easily. oh, and your english is better than my Dutch i assure you. Where is www.mountainsmoke.ch located?

shisha fan Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 thanks for the replies guys!, the pipe would cost 47 euros including shipping, which equals 62 us dollars. the seller has a 99,7% positive feedback, so i think this is pretty legit. i was also wondering if i should go for another hose or not.

mgcsinc Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Just FYI, there are a couple of websites based in Germany that would probably that might be a safer bet, and seeing as the eBay link you posted was in German, I don't think you'd have problems with the language difference. I'm not sure about specific sites, as I'm here in the states, but there have been past posts about them, and there might be someone else around who knows more. Of course, you could always just buy the beautiful eBay hookah... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioannisds Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Good feedback, good price, and a really nice looking hookah. I myself would go for it. Only thing I might change is the hose... see if you can get a washable Mya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohlineman Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 "Where is www.mountainsmoke.ch located?" OH OH!I know! I know! ch = helvetic community (comunita' helvetica to us italians) or better known as Switzerland.Given the teutonic writting on the web page I would be happy guessing it was in the German canton. Shisha fan's hookah is very nice indeed and the fact that most 18 year olds in America can not even write correctly in their own mother tounge basically puts his(or her) academic level on par with rocket scientists!
