$75 is outrageous for that thing. its a recycled glass bottle. you could buy the bottle and make your own for probably about $25. still cool though, none the less.
it is really unique. looks fairly easy to make. but it just seems a little overpriced. oh well though im not a musician and i understand that it is more than just a piece to you so i hope you enjoy it. and just because I think you paid too much for it doesnt mean its not a great pickup.
Who did you buy it from on etsy? I like it a lot, don't think the price is a rip off..looks really detailed.
Ouch, harsh. I do like the bong ive never seen a violin piece before, but yes 75 is too pricey. I would say 50 max. But if you enjoy it OP hell who cares
doesnt look like it was hand blown. at least not for a bong. it looks like a bottle with a hole drilled into with a rubber gromet
Hey, sorry to tell you. Unless im mistaken, this is actually a violin liquor bottle. Still i think they are pretty rare, but ya its just an old violin liquor bottle turned bong. It is cool however, i kinda would like to see you milk that piece if you dont mind. ps Here is the link that shows you the bottles. Violin Bottles from Antique Bottle & Glass Collector magazine for collectors of antique bottles I skimmed through it abit, from the looks of it these bottles are quite rare.
I think the seller is DeadUnclesStuff, not 100% sure though.. anyways, i think he's doing a pretty interesting thing, obtaining recycled glass and turning them into bongs. And the OP is the only who can decide if it was rip off or not, as he/ she is probably the only in here who will hit it anyways. I say, nice purchase
VIOLIN SHAPE BOTTLE=REAL NICE COLOR=== - eBay (item 250736578324 end time Dec-09-10 14:01:24 PST) The work that went into your bong is sick though. Cool piece.
I bet that dude is making a killing. He buys bottles and random glass things for cheap and buys cheap grommet stems and makes bongs and sells them for outrageous prices. And op you could have made that.All you need is the bottle and stem and a drill with glass drill bit.
your money your choice idc but I do care about that picture that's fucked up and offensive making fun of mentally challenged people is not cool
apparently my time in this thread is up but I just wanted to say thank you for removing the pic now I'm out of this shitty thread for ever
haters gonna hate, I find this to be cool. I like the idea of unique/special bongs because once you've got a decent straight tube, you've owned all straight tubes in a sense. Something like this will definitely liven up your collection so why not? If the OP is happy on the purchase then why are others trying to bring him down about it? good vibes people.. good vibes..
$75 is a terrible price to pay for a bong like that. It's a $5 bottle with a $5 grommet and 1 minute of drilling.
I don't see any photo. Is this the bong that appears when you Google "violin recycler bong"? It looks like a belt fed machine gun.
