Zerodynamic Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 So, since customhookahs says they aren't going to process my order and instead return my money... I can't get my Mya QT from them.So, I am looking for another mya qt.. but some of them are being sold for like $45 dollars. (I looked at mya saray direct, and mnhookahs.) Suffice to say, I refuse to pay that much, espically when I was getting one for $30. The only other one I found was genuine hookahs off of ebay, they are selling 2 of the exact color I want for $35.... but still! I am damn pissed that I am having to spend extra.So, I guess my question is, with the exception of ebay.... who here found their Qt at $30-35? I don't wanna get it through ebay, but I will if I can't find another source for the same price or less. (and yes, I did use the hookah forum discount, and its still expensive)And, Please.. no comments as to "stop being a cheapskate for $20...." I'm just looking the best deal, and now that deal was taken from me, and I am trying to reclaim a part of it.Thanks guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerodynamic Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 ok so I did some more digging... it looks like genuine hookahs RETAIL store is the winner.While the hookah is still $45... they give you 20 mouth pieces, 3 250g boxes of Nakhla and a box of 3k when you order any mya... seeing as how I was ordering both of these with custom hookahs... looks like genuine hookahs is the real winner when you wanna purchase a MYA. my total with shipping and the HF discount came out to $58... which with all of the "free" stuff, I'll gladly pay.Before I order, anyone else find anyother good deals?

rattler Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 No better deal than that but please post a review if you do business with them...They have a hose I would really like to get at a nice price and I'm sure some other stuff if I look around.

The ebay store is selling it for $35 plus shipping... if figure a box of 3k and 750g of tobbaco is worth the extra $15 from the retail website (minus 4.50 for the HF discount, so $10 instead). I'll hold off until tomorrow and see what a few others say.. (not to mention wait for customhookahs refund to clear back into my account) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Please be warned before you order from them because there is a high percentage of a chance that you'll be ripped off, won't get exactly what you ordered, or just plain not even get your order. GenuineHookahs used to try and peddle his wares here but couldn't follow the rules and now he isn't welcome. If you read his eBay feedback, you'll see that he blackmails people into giving him positive feedback by promising that he will give them negative feedback for negative feedback. His positive feedback rating is pretty low. It is not worth the hassle of ordering through him just to try and save a few extra bucks. Remember, most other retailers have a DISCOUNT that makes the mya QT even cheaper than 45 bucks... in fact, knock 15% off of that and that QT should be around $38.25 before shipping. Maybe even cheaper if you are a premium member for some retailers. Please use the search engine to find some of Genuine Hookahs feedback. However, a few members did have a positive experience with him. I do know someone who purchased a few dozen QTs from him for a hookah bar and most of them had leaks or looked used with water markings on them.

DrShisha Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hes ok, iv bought an acrylic and a qt off him, you dont always get what you pay for basically, qt the grommet was dodgy, acrylic he sent completely different colours!!, still smokes like a champ, im quite tolerant when it comes to things like that, theres better people out there but overall hes alright. Your luck really, email him and speak to him properly, to check stock on colours before buyin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagelessdude Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 The local Middle Eastern market by me sells QTs in all colors in their sealed baskets for $31.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Ya, if you order from Genuine, don't be suprised if you don't get what you ordered. There have been ENDLESS problems with people who have delt with him on and off Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I def don't wanna deal with someone like that...I read through his feedback, suffice to say... I'm not impressed with him.So, where else can I get a qt for cheap?

Zerodynamic Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Nah, its ok...Currently I have Jimmy (Hookah ETC) getting one for me... I'll get it much cheaper through him than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenWizard Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I got mine from hookah-shisha and was very pleased. They also gave me a discount for being a forum member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerodynamic Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 well, HS is $49.95.. so no, I won't go through them... (its actually cheaper to go through mya saray direct or Mnhookah..... the sell the for $44.99 and provide a 15% discount bringing it down to about $38.25..... not including shipping)Jimmy aka (hookah etc) was offering to sell me one for $40 shipped.. and was going to throw it in with my order that I already placed today for some other stuff. Custom Hookahs refund hasn't cleared yet, so I couldn't take him up on his offer... but when I get some more $$$ next payday, thats where I'll be getting mine from.

MR Bubble Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Well, I'm going out on a limb here and telling you what you asked us not to. So there.If you want the best price in town, you will spend a lot of time looking for it, and may end up with some shady characters. No no no no, just here me out.I like nice things. Most of us do, and sometimes we try to find the best price for them. Once we think we have found the best price for them one of a few things happen:A. We find later someone is selling it cheaper. Ever notice that no matter how fast you go on the Interstate someone will eventually pass you?B. We find out the hard way that it may be used, wrecked, or just a royal pain in the a$$ acquiring it.C. After all the hard work we did trying to find the best deal around, we discover it isn't really all it's cracked up to be.D. The people who sold it to you just plain and simply suck.E. A combination of all or a couple of the above.Perhaps you should just give in the extra couple dollars and gain the following: CUSTOMER SUPPORT. That's the biggie. People will spend extra knowing that they are covered by the seller if they need a refund, free replacement parts for damages in shipment, and a rapport with the business that may earn later discounts. I, personally, will give the extra cash knowing this. Just think about what happened: You saw a great price from the retailer and got squirreled around because they are going out of business. YOU GOT SCREWED BY THEM! That deal sucks after all, even if you got a refund. You still don't have the product.Another suggestion is to look around for other products that may be comparable or better suited for you than the QT. I realize the QT is a small package that packs a punch, but don't you think there are other machines that do just that? I've had small solid shaft Egyptians that were so tight, you could suck-start a B-52! But if you want the QT, I won't fault you for that. I understand. God knows I get focused on certain products that (in my mind) have no peer. I won't tell you to not be cheap, but I will suggest seeking those who will give you the best service. THAT's the real bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
