    So I recently found a vintage and official ZONG! water pipe that is NEW and in the box with the tags, etc. Just curious what you guys think this could be worth realistically? Owner said hes had it for over 10 years
     
    I'm interested in picking it up for the sake of selling it.
     
     
     
    I realize that its to some degree subjective and it all depends on the person looking at it. 
     
     
     
    This thing is HUGE at 40.25" tall with a SUPER FAT tubing, "S" chamber, removable downstem with built in perc, Zong! logo on top,  Comes with the original HUGE (fist sized) slide bowl with ZONG! glass bead logo/handle!

  2. Seems like thin glass and almost looks like it would be really fucking hard to clear, other than that it's cool
     
  3. $300-350 new $100-150 once used.
    So no you didn't hit the gold mind of rear glass. Just found an old prodo zong
     
  4. Not sure how much that shop is selling it but I assume it's somewhere around $300. The design is of course old school since it's been sitting there for 10 years. It's non worked and nothing rare like those chong bongs. The thing is massive, can't even tell if you can smoke it yourself or you need a buddy to light it for you. It would be difficult to resale this, and for 2nd hand it would probably only go for like $100. I wouldn't do it.
     
  5. Not knowing anything about the history of it's use, if any, I would pay at most $150. $200 if a close friend was selling it.
    But as the others said, it's actual value is probably around $300.
     
  6. Yeah he wants a small fortune for it @ 800$ (which is obviously why he hasn't sold it in 10 + years haha)
     
  7. sooooo much chinese glass behind him lul, would offer him about 150 if you really wanted it but the piece doesn't have any actual resell value. Also you said he want's $800? You can buy another piece with that that will hold it's value or increase/decrease very slightly.
     
  8. A local shop has one by me they're selling for 1000 so 800 might be realistic retail but id pay no more than 250

  9. I'v seen Zongs for half its size go for $400, but like other posters have said, at that price you could get some nice scientific glass or some modular piece.
     
    Offer him $200 if you really want it. Honestly, we don't know what kind of smoker you are and what other types of peices you have, so it's hard to tell how much you really want/need it. It's definitely not a desktop piece, I'll tell you that, lol. It would be a good conversation piece, though.
     
  10. i could probably be talked into buying it for 300
     
  11. The one on the right was $150 and the one on the left was $220, I bought them both about two years ago in SoCal. The left one was a special order, but it came from the blower in a new box. These two are about two feet tall though, not sure what a 40"version would go for...

  12.  
    Which one do you prefer to smoke from?
     
  13. I don't use either one much any more, but when I was using them, I prefer the Sour, it clears a bit easier, no perc.
     
  14. If you can pick it up for less than 400, you could resell it for around 500. Usually their bigger pieces like that go for around 500 refurbished.
