Amen!!!!!!!i mean no disrespect brother i just love your look and quality of your glass i like "knowing" who blew my glass i compliment you and love your work i collect glass and need more so hook it up lol
your friend needs to raise his prices. the norm for shops is 50% retail.I know my buddy who is a local blower only gets a 1/3 of what the shop list the piece at....when he sells to me directly he gets 1/2.....sounds like I would be selling to friends first and then let the shop rip me off for the rest.
its just kinda a sign of what the future holds when you make 10 badass pipes and don't sell one to any of us.am i really catching shit on this?
you have made A LOT of assumptions simply to insult me.its just kinda a sign of what the future holds when you make 10 badass pipes and don't sell one to any of us.
it pretty much seems like we're just gonna get second pickings at whatever the headshop doesn't like, which I find to be kinda lame....
I mean I can't tell you shit about what you want to do with your work, I'm just saying from my point of view it's pretty fucked to make hella nice pieces to sell to the headshop and fuck all the people who have been buying your work since you started.....
if this is only a temporary thing (which it really doesn't seem like it is) then there really is no issue... but obviously this may happen a lot.
just makes me think your prices will inevitably go up, the quality we get will be lower because the headshop gets first pickings.
that's why this is lame for people... do what you will.
I'm willing to pay it cause the shop here he sells to is owned by a dick that thinks this guy is contracted to him or some shit....he'll go in with his pieces and the guy will bitch(still buys em) but says "I thought I told you not to use those color combos"...."you need to blow more like this(pics up another blowers piece)"....he just get's royaly fkt by the shops so I try to help him out....trust me....he's not rippin me off...If any thing its the other way around...most I've paid for one of his pieces was $60 and it's prob the nicest,heaviest,most detailed piece I own.....much better than that Chameleon glass shit most shops charge over $100 foryour friend needs to raise his prices. the norm for shops is 50% retail.
so your "friend" charges you more then he charges the shops? i give my friends all their pipes.
i'd find a new shop.I'm willing to pay it cause the shop here he sells to is owned by a dick that thinks this guy is contracted to him or some shit....he'll go in with his pieces and the guy will bitch(still buys em) but says "I thought I told you not to use those color combos"...."you need to blow more like this(pics up another blowers piece)"....he just get's royaly fkt by the shops so I try to help him out....trust me....he's not rippin me off...If any thing its the other way around...most I've paid for one of his pieces was $60 and it's prob the nicest,heaviest,most detailed piece I own.....much better than that Chameleon glass shit most shops charge over $100 for
I'm just saying what it looks like to me.you have made A LOT of assumptions simply to insult me.
i'm not doing this in my glass thread. sorry.
you have NO idea what i'm doing.I'm just saying what it looks like to me.
no assumptions at all unless I can't even tell you what it LOOKS like....
if it isn't gonna be like that I'll be thrilled. just saying. we're not doing /anything/ this is my last post about this, just to clarify.........
i make all kinds of stuff and sell it to members here. i don't do "custom" work. i'm simply not that skilled yet.Awww bummer ok, sorry I misunderstood. I thought some were custom pieces here made for members. My search continues! Love those new blues you did though, great stuff. =)
