$400 for a SLIM!?!?!?!?!

[silentt]

Next time you want to bash someones high price just PM them and let them know

I will do that from now on so I don't have to give the mods anymore work I'm happy to express my feeling but I do enjoy posting on this board because it has changed my life in great ways. Yeah I could go off the air and get banned but then where would I waste my time at work chatting with you guys??

Some people have respect some people don't. Some people want to make money off others, some don't. That's the way of life and it's always been like that even before we were alive. It's how life goes on. Everyone just listen to some "Sublime" and just sit back in your chair and vape yourself into a coma. Love Peace and Chicken grease on my fingers after eating dinner

I love my GG fam <3

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Yeah, that is bs for sure......that's why Bruce has the limits on sales but an enterprising sort could set up a network of family and friends to do it for sure......but for historical items, its what the market will bear, I miss some of the earlier ones more than I thought I would.......

 

[silentt]

Ripple my ufsv2 comes in the mail tomorrow... do you want to buy it for 5,000? or the gg fam discount for 4,500??

cool just pm me

I hear ya ripp I finally passed on a GG yesterday and I kinda miss it already.

...I miss some of the earlier ones more than I thought I would.......

Yeah, I'm still loving my aluminum GGTS with AVS and use it almost as much as my SSGTS. And I bet Cypresss still has #306 (my first GG).

I'm sure I'll sell my v1 UFS as soon as the new mouthpieces are out since I'm using it on my v2, but I'll sell it for a fair price. That's just me, though, and I'm a part of this community. Those with the higher priced ads usually aren't and I just assume they need the cash. Who am I to know their situation?

In any case, it's really a tribute to Imeo if you think about it. There aren't many PVs which can actually appreciate over time...

Rip, I agree with you wholeheartedly on this. Especially the older and more rare ones.

However, I do have a problem with the individual who is trying to get 2x retail for a brand new UFS MK2 within days of the sale. Just think, if someone had the cash, they could buy up all of the Multi-iAttys and the GGVV's when they come out then turn around and try to sell them at 2x retail. Now, they will have cornered the US market and most of us would be left out in the cold on them.

If someone were to do that (and we see it or are notified of it) they would find themselves labeled a supplier (because that's what they're acting as) and at the very least lose classifieds access if not removed from the forums until registered as a supplier. Of course, that's only if they were doing it in a large amount and not one or two.

selling my ssggts + ufs for $10,000.00

I think it's a great deal

Imagine what I could get for a prototype Multiatty? Limited edition no less. One of only 5 made.

I too agree with Rip with the older and rare items but that is apples to oranges in this case.

Boy am I a dummy, I gave one of my GGTS's to a buddy so he can quit smoking and hopefully live a much longer, happier, healthier life. I could have sold that thing for a gazillion dollars and 32 cents.

In the immortal words of P.T. Barnum: "There's a sucker born every minute"

Me, I'd rather help someone out. It might not make me wealthy, but it makes me rich

 

[zuTma]

You just reminded me Rick. I lent my friend AVS and guy loses whole connector. Now I'm sorry I didn't ask money for it...

I would also, I PIF a lot of juices but the only way I can afford the new GG items is to sell some of my older ones -- making a 1/3 of what you did 3 years ago makes you a little mercenary......

I try to help on the forums to assuage my guilt........damned catholicism made me question all my actions!!!!

Ok fair comparison for the brass slim! I'll give you that.... lousy example for the UFS at twice the price though... your car may be worth 80K+++++ now, it wasn't worth 80K two days after your drove it off the lot, infact it wasn't worth 5K the second you drove it off the lot. Cool Car, by the way Harley! One of my personal favorites, but it would be a cold day in hell before I would pay what they are worth now. I'll admire yours!

That is a great deal. Do you have 2 available? Dollar down, dollar a week?

 

[Rick.45cal]

The bottom line is it's worth what the market will pay. If someone needs one that bad, I'm glad they have someone who is willing to part with theirs. I paid a fair price for my first GG, fortunately for me, just so I could use my UFS that was sitting around for over a month. The way I see it is there are people who offer a fair market price (even when it seems ridiculous to some of us) then there are people who's only interest in life is monetary gain. I'm not going to defend someone who only sees dollar signs when a fellow human walks up. Just not my style, infact, those are people that I actively avoid.

 

[thedudeabides]

Exactly, not my style either. But, if someone is willing to sell something for more than market value, and someone is willing to pay it, well then they both made out. Who are we to disparage/judge?

If the price is truly outrageous (given demand/scarcity) then it just won't sell...

Isn't the free market system great?

 

[inquisitorj]

I personally just want to recoup my money when I sell something. That is one of the million reasons I love GG's. I know I can get a fair price when I sell it. I don't sell things for a profit though, but that is my choice.

Lets be totally honest here. GG's are a luxury. I think that they are the best performing mod out there and it is worth the price, but someone can stop smoking and switch to vaping with a basic kit. They may need a mod to stay satisfied, but again there are a LOT of options out there that cost less money and still preform pretty well.

I don't like the profiteers that buy as many as they can and resell them at twice the price once they are out of stock and I do not agree with them. It is still going to happen though. The only way for this to stop would be for Imeo to mass produce his product in a factory in China. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be a fan of GG's if Imeo did that.

I'm starting to ramble now, so I'll leave it at this. 1. I encourage vendors to limit the number items sold to each individual, I believe this helps those that want the new item right away to have the best chance at getting one at the price they should be sold at. 2. If you don't want to pay the asking price for something in the classy's, make an offer. Chances are you will find what you are looking for eventually.

 

[silentt]

no problem buddy

everyone relax, if we got worked up everytime someone tried to rip someone off we'd be some angry old men on our death beds vaping out gg's (doesn't sound to bad if you add in the gg)

 

[utal]

hi!

I see ppl buying used GG as they are new, or even giving more money for it (me for ex, gave 70€ + a brand new iATTY for a used UFS v1).

I think that Imeo's philosophy is to keep more close to us (GG fans), and he don't really care about all the rest. I really believe that he's getting really fun and pleasure with this, however he can stop all those persons who are just thinking on buying all they can so they can sell it later.

Indeed a limit for person would be a nice thing so all ppl can get the chance to get one GG/iatty/UFS/etc, however for those who really cares and use it and need to buy from other countries must have some extra spares since no one likes to wait a week or two without his favourite PV.

It's a little complicated to get into GG scene. I took some months to get completely satisfied since I didn't had any chance to buy a GGTS + UFS/iATTY on the moment I wish. I had to wait very time to get all the parts. Of course that some would say that I should give it more value due to the fact that I own this peace of art witch gives me so much pleasure, however it would be much more pleasant if anyone can buy any part as they wish in all continents.

All this lack of parts/stock leads to "unfair" business. I don't want to go back in time and vape with poor devices or return to the analogues, so I think that more production should be considered.

Of course I respect above all Imeo's style and I'll still use all GG's I can. This is just my humble opinion that it's nothing compared with old school followers.

Paulo
