Is This Illadelph Bong Worth The Money??

I am looking at getting a bong and saw this illa at a local shop but it seemed a bit overpriced. Its the one on the right in the pic of two bongs. It had $375 sticker price on it and it comes with the green bowl with the rasta color dots on it in the second picture. I was hoping to talk them down to 400 for the tube and the matching ash catcher which i believe was under 100 bucks because its not illadelph. Any other suggestions if this one isn't a good deal?

Ya the Toro's at my headshop were like 700 or more dollars, which is out of my range.
You think 375 is fair for this straight tube with no a/c?

I have been through about a G's work of glass in the last 6 months, all broke in some way or another

Now I have a glass pipe I got for $ 59 dollars and have been happy ever since, I have a couple ash catchers and attachments so that makes up for the bling factor

Just be careful

I have never had a bong. I have had the same pipe for about 3 years and never broke it, thank the lord for double blown pipes!

Still no answers to my questions?

I have not used an illadelph, but I have only heard good things about them. I think $375 is a little steep. I bet you could talk them down somewhere around $250-$300, maybe lower if your good at bartering. I recently purchased a RooR that had a $320 sticker on it. I ended up paying $220 for it and also got to choose a $45 sticker spoon pipe for free. Get them as low as you can, and if you think it too much still, look elsewhere. Good luck man.

I always thought illadelphs were dope as fuck, I really want one. But that IS pretty steep.

The one with the glycerin coil is the shit

crazy i was just talking about illadelph with my boy tonight.

i never smoked outta one but one of our boys just got one, we are going tomrro to try it out.
he payed a little over 700 bucks tho.
i couldnt believe it.
i told him i would rather drop another 2 hundred on top and get a qp and a box of swishers.

we'll see what happens tho tomorrow.
he has like this jelly modular thing on it that you stick in the freezer, it comes completely apart.

Its nice, but how much for that beauty on the left? I agree, barter. If u cant get it down to a price, u feel comfy with, dont buy. Worst thing is smokin outtah something, u regret. Everytime u look at it, youll think, I got fucked! Barter!

It stays cold longer than ice. Probably for an hour or so, stays in a frozen state for about 25-30 min then its cool for another 30. It depends on your preference. The coil is amazing.

The plastic is a keck clip. It keeps the downstem from pulling out when you pull the slide.

Nice dude, do they brake easily?

I was looking at getting an illadelph, hurricane OR Tsunami (Tsunami is like a good rip off a hurricane for like $180)

How did you get them to drop the price that low? Did you offer like a hundred bucks or something? haha. Or did you ask for the free spoon and the 220 price?
Anyone have any advise for talking down the price in a headshop or anywhere for that matter?

I had 3 RooR's to choose from all with $320 stickers on them, I offered $200, which the lady helping me took immediately, which tells me I could have gotten it lower. I chose the smaller of the 3 RooR's because it was the most stable on the table and it had a beaker bottom which I prefer. Since I wasnt paying with cash, the lady wanted to throw an additional $20 for the use of a CC. I then asked if I could pick out a spoon pipe along with it because I chose the smaller bong out of the 3 and the additional $20, she agreed.

all that is is a piece of tubing with a fitting welded to it. then they throw their sticker on it. it's about 17 dollars worth of glass.
