i was looking to purchase a BudBomb here after reading some reviews, well i decided to do a google search for anywhere cheaper. and Thank god! i had no idea how overpriced some of GC's stuff is! for example i will only post 1 of the many overpriced objects i found.. w ww.every one does it.com/online_headshop/Bud_Bomb__Silver.cfm?iProductID=3603 $31 for any of the 3 colors.. and now for GC's prices.. Bud Bomb Original - Metal Hand Pipe - Chrome - Deluxe Pipes - Hand Pipes - Smoking Pipes - Grasscity.com $49.50... Bud Bomb 2000 - Metal Hand Pipe - Gold - Deluxe Pipes - Hand Pipes - Smoking Pipes - Grasscity.com $49.50.. Bud Bomb Predator - Metal Hand Pipe - Black - Deluxe Pipes - Hand Pipes - Smoking Pipes - Grasscity.com and you guessed it! $49.50 how in the hell can they up the price so much? now i am questioning myself as to why i was planning on buying my wishlist items on this site.. it appears to me that most anything here is more expensive than on other sites, i know the community here is very close and knowledgeable, but the pricing is to much to overcome, but i also feel like an asshole for being a member here and wanting to order from somewhere else but i feel i don't have much of a choice.. a few dollar discrepancy is one thing but 20 is another conversation all together... it seems GC don't even want another competitor listed... please take the space out of the WWW and the spaces out from between everyonedoesit
Not sure, but I do know they didn't want any of what I make to re-sell. The stone pipes up on here are all milled on a CNC machine, pretty low quality stuff on par with Taiwanese "stamp-ware" stainless steel kitchen knives.
I got a nice 2 perc bong from here and it came scratched and has this weird rough ring on the mouth piece as if something grinded against it. And the bong before that that I bought here (rest in pieces red perc bong) had a giant ugly skull stamped onto the glass that was not in the product photo.
they might be a little more expensive, but the sales support our forum. i'd be down to pay a little more to keep grasscity alive. and so would many other people. you get what you pay for IMO.
I got a spoon pipe at a local head shop for 30 bucks same exact pipe is 82.50 on Grasscity that's 50 bucks more than what I got it for. They rip ya off fer sher
Thats prob why you don't see a lot of people ordering from here, they don't want to pay extra and they don't want to pay a ton for shipping and still have it take 3 weeks. If you think about they would be better off making the prices more affordable because more people would buy then.... And I don't care have awesome this site is, If I can something for 20% cheaper elsewhere, I'd def go with that choice.
I ordered a WS little bitch from EDIT.com on saturday but their credit card systm is out so I was gonna make a bank transfer. I tried calling first to make sure it was chill (I've bought from them before) and couldn't get hold of them. Then I find loads of people saying they are not getting stuff recently, so I didn't bother even though it was a good bit cheaper than here. Moral of the story, GC may be a few bucks more but at least you know your shit will arrive eventually. And it won't be fake.
I've bought from GrassCity and my bong shipped from Amsterdam, which is just plain cool. Definetely worth the cash I dropped on it. A similar bong would cost 2x as much in my LHS (they are tipoff artists).
I placed an order at EDIT almost 10 months ago, was just a stealth pipe and some "legal high herb" that I can't remember and never got it. never got email replies or anything. ordered the same thing at GC and while it may have been a little more expensive and taken some time to get here, I got it. I've yet to not receive an order from GC. I trust them so the extra money is worth it
also, do other sites accept cash? im sure some of them do, but its kinda convenient to have that feature... provided you give the right address to send your grinder to lol
