Got a RooR today for $50... Is it real

No it's not real it's a fake bong
Guess you'll have to toss it Billy

 

Depends on how it smokes...tbh, it's not worth figuring out. Enjoy what you have and don't question your fortune.

If you find out it's a fake, it will diminish the bong in your eyes it would seem, so just toke it up...you got a nice deal for $20 anyway.

 

Swoosh

 

Roor has nothing like that in it's catalog with that goofy swirly design thing. Probably $20 Chinese glass.

 

Email roor with pics

 

Lol he probably knew that you knew nothing about glass. He probably paid $40 for it years ago.

 

I think you meant this post to be a thread all on it's own called "How to Identify a Legitimate RooR glass piece, it's 2013". You accidently replied to this thread here, where you were asking if your fake RooR was real.

 

This is my fake Roor I got for 60 bucks. The dude who sold it to me even said it was fake. I have an ashcatcher for it now. I love it. Triple honeycombs work great. Ice catcher works great.

It never even crossed my mind until a few of these "is it real is it fake" Roor threads popped up recently and it got me wondering whether it's possible it's authentic. I can identify with OP's curiosity at this point (I missed all the deleted posts for the record)because it's the same sort of feeling that would accompany buying something at a garage sale or auction for next to nothing and that thing ending up being rare or valuable.... Or at the very least had an interesting history. I still have to email the company. Thanks to the individual above who suggested that, I don't know why I didn't think of it myself. I don't expect them to get back to me about it but it's worth a shot. OP - I suggest you do the same thing, perhaps one or both of us will be pleasantly surprised.



Here is a quick guide on how to figure out if it's real or not:

As mentioned before, if you like it, 50 bucks is a solid deal if the glass is thick.

 

looks like you have a nice German RooR there.. congrats. signature looks legit. pay no attention to people here. RooR Germany and RooR America have two different styles and different signatures as well. did the seller provide any information on it? what year it was made? i would send pictures to RooR Germany and ask for some help just to be absolutely sure, but i would say you have an authentic German piece there. congrats on the best buy on a bong.. ever.

 

WRONG!!!! lol

just kidding.. please remember there are two companies in one.. 2 different kinds of signatures. you can usually tell American pieces just by the ice pinches if you have one of those specific models.. to me it looks like a German piece.. i could be wrong, but i do not think so..

 

base is too small, price is too low. triple percs are not very common and label is off.. if it is not a fake it is definitely American made.. but i say fake.. sorry. i am sure it still smokes blah blah blah.. another arguement for another thread.. or many depending on how many RooR threads you read here.. there are quite a few.. good luck

 

i paid 140 USD in 1999.. even back then they were not cheap, and that was before they really blew up on the scene.. that piece i paid 140 back then quickly went to about a 1000 in value..talk about a good investment, wish i still had it..

my guess is this person just wanted to get rid of it quick... but who knows..
