Current values for Chong Glass??

[berbes]

i am re-resurrecting this dead-thread. what are chong bongs worth TODAY? i have a 20 year old never used 18" bong like the one pictured in reply #14 autographed by the man hisself. i'm interested to see how it is as an investment vs. gold .

and no i'm not selling. it's just difficult to take it on the 'Antiques Road Show' on PBS for an appraisal.

UPDATE: Just did more clicking and found a few glass bid sites and today, it goes for anywhere from $2k-$7k.

wow. posted and answered my own q in less than an hour!

You can't really compare something like that to gold. Gold has a globally recognized value. Plus it's value isn't based on being a disappearing commodity because it's no longer being made. I'm pretty sure they still mine for gold in certain regions. I know there was a gold mine in South America recently that was active.

Also virtually everyone values gold but globally speaking people who would value "Chong Glass" is a fairly small percentage.

Gold bars dont break when they fall over.

I met Tommy Chong, he was a real dick, maybe it was a bad day ha!

 

[shithawk420]

A dick? Really? We need more details than that Tony! All the bs he's been through its not surprising he'd be a dick sometimes

Must have been a bad day. I have met him a few times and he was always cool. He does owe me a video for some bud I gave him.
Maybe he is a little bit of a dick

I have a picture of him trying to stick my face in his crotch. Also some nice autographed shirts.

 

[Tonygreen]

yeah he was probably tired of dealin with all the asshole fans to be fair ha!

Another time my guy took his chong bong to a book signing and tried to get a "hello my name is" sticker signed for the bong
but I guess Tommys people were like he is only signing the book ha.

Anyway here is some pics of the glass!

its a nice bong.too bad its not all glass on glass.do you know how thick it is Tony?my guess is 3mm at the base and maybe 5mm at the neck

 

[Tonygreen]

my boy broke the slider, thats a replacement ha!
Ill check out the thickness whenever i go over there again.

edit: yer probably spot on, the neck anyway, its real thick got some girth, you feel kinda wrong hitting it heh. Thick lips for sure.

 

[shithawk420]

LOL not a bad replacement actually! im not too worried about it Tony.i used to be a glass head but ive broken too much glass to give a damn.its never a question of if its a question of when if ya know whar i mean! LOL

 

[theJointedOne]

As a strictly 'heady' glass collector, ive learned that like so many other 'things' in life, its monetary value is only what someone will pay for it, nothing more nothing less.

 

[Tonygreen]

haha got that right shithawk!

 

[shithawk420]

true that Tony! your a heady collector Jointed One?what artists pieces do you have?ive always liked J.P and the FYC gang.little rich for my blood though

Darby Holm is my favorite. Ive got 2 of his, both never used mint condition.

Dellene Peralta is also one artist who's aesthetic I really enjoy. I have a nice bubbler by her.

Kevin Murray is great. My daily driver is a small push bubbler from him.

I also have a badass Freeek piece.

I collect only flower pieces, no dab rigs. Push bubblers are my jam.
