steve Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 After much thought on my stash of al waha I have given myself a cut off date of jan 1 to get rid of it . I still have about 150 cases left and about 50 or so cases of coals both quick light and naturals to get rid of . At first I was going to just throw it away but that seems like a huge waste,but I dont smoke it or realy know that much about the hookah culture but I know many of you guys do . I think there is an opportunity for someone to make some good money and or have a lifetime supply of molasses so here is the 2 choices that I have came up with 1 have a lottery 25 dollars a ticket I will pull one ticket and winner gets all of it . they must come and get it I will store it for a few months while winner makes arangements . 2 start a forum auction and start it at 1 dollar a case and run it for 10 days same deal with the winner arangeing shipping or comming to Michigan and getting it . what are your guys thoughts on this and what option would you like to see me do your oppinion counts so let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Well..... why don't you divide it... and actution off the lots of tobacco? Like... Auction one-5 cases-minimum bid $20 *flavor*flavor*flavor*flavor*flavor* Austion two-7 cases... Auction three-3 cases and so on........ Have the person pick it up or pay for shipping.. or make the minimum bid enough to ship the cases anywhere in the US... Or you could even have it a blind lot where you just ship out which ever flavors you want... I dont really like the lottery idea.... I don tthink many people, inccluding myself would want to buy a 25 ticket and have the risk of not getting anything for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Why not auction off like Erica said, a few cases at a time...spread the wealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 but if I limit the lottery tickets to lets say 100 tickets you would have a 1 in 100 chance to get over 10.000 worth of molasses I have tried to get rid of it in small lots and I still have a ton of it I want it gone it would take me months to sell it that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Personally, I wouldn't buy a ticket. I would probably spend atleast 100 on mini auctions.... Just make it so that all the cases are used up in all the auctions..... do a differnt set of auctions every week.... Thats only abour 40 cases a week to auction off in a month.... Have a auction for 10 cases-minimum bid-75 for shipping Four of 5 cases- 50 Five of 2-15 ??? No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Not only the price, but I don’t think anyone is realistically going to want 150 cases of tobacco.... and 50 cases of coals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootdown Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 steve i will buy some from you next friday! please dont get rid of it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 here is the problem with that like the case I sent you to CA cost me 17.00 to shp it there from MI and the time that it takes me to pkg 3 and take it to DHL and drop it off . Sure they will come here and pick it up but they charge 3 dollars to do that and if I am shipping it to a home address they charge me 3 dollars for that as well . I run a company here in Michigan and in Florida and have 2 kids I just dont have the time for this any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 my best guess is we can get 50 cases in it that would work out to 6 bucks a case less then 30 cents pr 250 gram tub not a bad deal ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShishaFred Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 If he DOES have 150 cases , then thats over 900kg of shisha. This means that when we say he has a ton , he really does have a ton! Crazy stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
