Every few days I see a great deal on this site and start going nuts at the thought of passing it up.

like 90 for the "we the people ash catcher", almost thought about pawning off some stuff to get that

Or when i just saw the 24" 7mm roor beaker for 250...I immediately started running through the pieces I could sell off to get it

but then I realize i am just being ridiculous and I can't go on swapping pieces forever. lol.

try talking to sheepdawg

his ice pinches are ridiculous, and very moderately priced.

i hope to get a bubbler by him one day...def hit him up and ask him to show you his work. the prices will blow you away too

Type sheepdawg into google and go to his myspace page, he has pictures of his work posted there.

He really does do great work, amazing worked inline ACs and bubblers, as well as slides.

His prices are reasonable when considering that if his pieces were in a shop they would sell for more than he charges.

A very sick custom inline bubbler can be anywhere from $600-900+ depending on the amount of work you want done or can afford. Shop prices would probably be around a few hundred more.

If it makes you feel any better, I bought that We the People a/c and it broke within three days when some asshole knocked over my bong which caused the diffuser and a/c joint to snap. Definitely a shitty day when my glass gets broken for the first time

I am struggling with this right now as well. I am going to factor an addtl 75 in my budget to put in my PP account each week. Hoping this will help me curb any crazy spending.

That lostin chillum was sick for $30, which I could have scooped that up, it was just so amazing how the colors popped.

LOL seriously!! I have seen some sick deals yesterday. i've spent about 500 on glass lately so I just CAN'T get it but my instincts always tell me to call up my freinds and beg them to buy it for themselves...haahahaa

Haha, this is why I usually leave my wallet hidden in the car. If the deal is good enough, i'll return after a few hrs of thinking (mostly imagining smoking it) and if it's gone I at least have money to search for something else as pleasing to the eyes
