How much would you pay for this bong?

Now how much would you pay if it came with a nicer bowlpiece and a domeless titanium nail and maybe even a carrying bag?
Its 41$ with free shipping off that site but I could get 10 for 300$ and sell them locally for 50-60+$ fairly easily it seems.
Wanted to get some feedback from the pub though.

How much is shipping, or is that included in the 300 price?
50-60 is fair. I probably wouldn't buy it, but it's not a terrible price for what it is.

I was thinking I might be able to get 100, I think honey combs and the top perk wouldn't get clogged too fast unless you suck all your bowls through.
If that's the case an ash catcher would be very smart anyways, speaking of which if it had a really nice ash catcher too would 120 or seem like a deal?

Yeah what patrick said. They wouldn't have to wait for shipping from China and many people don't know of sites like DHgate...
A bong like that in a glass shop would be like 150$ I bet

I looked up bongs on craigslist here and as always there was a lot of overpriced used stuff so I feel like cheaper new bongs could sell fast.
We have a pretty big college stoner scene here so I feel like this could be a great investment I just have been hesitant to pull the trigger in the past.

There's idiots that are willing to pay way too much for something everywhere, I bought my piece at a shop a few years ago for over 300 just to discover it was sold online for half the price when I discovered the wonder of buying shit online a few weeks later 
A sucker is born every minute. As long as it looks fancy and you know how to sell you can basically convince anyone to buy anything for way more then it's worth....that being said, bout tree fiddy is what I'd pay or just 41 because now I know to look shit up online before buying it 
Edit: if anything smoke a couple bowl packs out of it so it looks used, tell them you bought it for X amount of money but you're willing to sell it for X amount of money, makes it more convincing if it's not brand new and you're a nobody. Have a story about why you need the money as well, but mark up the price because any buyer that knows anything about buying shit will try to beat you down if he thinks you need the money......just gotta play the game, and playing the game is always making the other person think they're two steps ahead when you're at least three steps ahead.

True but glass pieces don't fly off the shelves. It's a slow sell. Most glass stores I know are always on the verge of going bankrupt, and typically make most of their money on other product (vape stuff, custom orders, synthetics)

I and many people I know have been there before sadly, hell even online plenty of places re sell the stuff from china at like 2x the price

Part of that is probably becouse of how much glass shops charge though. Tiny little dab rigs will be like 100+$ and most nice multi perk bongs are at least 150-200$. Some namebrand some not, with all the fake name brand glass online I have come to wonder how much of the stuff in shops is even real though...

The idea of selling bongs? That is definitely a thing already, look on ebay or local sites like craigslist, headshops, glass shops, glass blowers...
Its a huge market, but your right I wouldn't be surprised if someone is placing an order right now becouse of this thread 
Probably wouldn't be the first idea I have had stolen either but who knows

Take them to shows, and sell them there for the price you spoke of. I have sold glass at shows before, and you will always see people spending crazy amounts of loot on shit they don't need because they're high as fuck and not thinking clearly.
The price you mentioned is not ripping anyone off, so you're good.

Bongs like that are not as hard to clean as you may think.
I just run hot water through my bong to wash most hunk out but alcohol + salt can get em sparkly clean.
Pipes are nice but they are so harsh, my lungs are too burnt for them except on occasion.

I thoroughly clean bongs and glass in general after every use (boiling water, wire scrubber, rubbing alcohol), they always build up tar in some unreachable corner though.
Just using wood / ceramic pipes now, let the resin build, scrape when I'm dry.
To each their own, everyone has their own ritual. Some people try to insist on splitting a joint or blunt / whatever, I roll multiple, one each. Same with bowls, not into hitting someone else's ash.

After every use? That seems excessive, then again I don't smoke a ton at a time much these days. I try to clean regularly myself but only when its fairly dirty.
Splitting joints isn't too bad as long as people don't bogart. I have been at parties where I will roll a joint and hit it a few times before passing it only to have it be a nasty roach by the time it makes it back Bowls annoy me too but I will tell people usually and ask they try and not torch the bowl. With big bowls you can get a lot of green hits if you don't torch it.
I understand why you would want your own joints and bowls though. When I was younger I use to roll up individual blunts with a friend

China, many of the listings on that site show pics of the glass blowers and facilities used in the production. There is cheap stuff and cheaper quality stuff.

I change the water often usually but sometimes I just dab out of my bong which doesn't really get the water dirty 
I am a chiefer too so I like to have my own joint but I share when people are around usually.
