@Taha
The reason why I made this issue public was due to the strange nature of our private conversations and your subtle mocking of vendors who are trying to bring fair prices into the market using this MOCA slogan when you yourself apparently have sourced distiller oils for $150 a tola.
Personally, I don’t care what you sell oils for. It is the (mis)representation of them as ‘custom’ Gen4 oils that is the issue here along with you buying oils at $150 a tola and complaining of high prices. This doesn’t seem a very high price to me. You yourself posted on here that cheap oils cost $20-50 for a 2.5g from distillers directly, so what does that make Mai Wan Lao that costs $150 a tola from Sadiq (the distiller in question) (which works out at about $31 for 2.5g and is available not directly for some strange reason, but only exclusively through a reseller for $400 a bottle)
I think its very unlikely that a "Gen4" unique oil which was cooked for yourself could be sent by mistake to three different people by a distiller. That’s right… three different people! The distiller even currently has more available and I know one of them might buy another 10 tolas.
Is this really a custom oil as you say, or a readily available oil from the distiller for $150 a tola for anyone who has the cash? I know of one vendor whos is disgusted with what he regards as your complete lies on the matter and another individual who have received over 20 tolas of the same oil that you call Mai Wan Lao.
If it was one other person who had been sold the oil then I would think ok maybe it was an error on the part of the distiller, but that is not the case here and now you are accusing the distiller of theft to explain the low price to everyone. Everyone on this forum understands the accusation of theft you have made. You didn’t say this when we spoke privately. You said the distiller had made a mistake by accidently posting it out to someone else?
Is the distiller a thief? I find it highly unlikely given he is also the fact the distiller still has the oil available for sale right now as we speak! To me it doesnt make sense why the distiller Sadiq who is as you know, very well known, well off & produces oil in litres would need to "rob" you or simply want to make a few hundred dollars by selling your oil to others which would not make sense from a business point of view especially from someone who is rich and well connected. The guy is probably a millionaire.
If anyone wants the distiller’s contact details I can forward it and you can ask him for yourself whether he has stolen Oud from Taha.
I do believe Lao chen xiang which was the oil which you originally thought had been mixed up may have been exclusive to you however for the reasons I have given above, I do not believe Mai wan lao is.
Also the main point that is the most unsettling is that people were getting an oil for $150 a tola which was being sold at over $400 for 3g by yourself, which again some people may think is fair but for me its worrying and has nothing to do with #MOCA #MOFA but more to do with #MOME (make oud more expensive). Only yesterday you said oils with this price tag are considered yuk yet you have sold them and proved a point that even if somehow the distiller charged you more reasonbly priced oud is available on the market. I mean $200 for such a nice smelling oil is a good deal.
Here we have people very quickly take sides without understanding a situation or hearing from those parties accused of cheating you which is unfair however thats what good friends do back their freinds up regardless. If you really are sure that you have been robbed please lets discuss this here openly. I will speak to the distillers/people who many have said many things about yourself which i ignored and now with these accusations i dont know who to believe.
All of these tolas which have gone missing theres always going to be 2 sides to every story and until the second side has not spoken the truth isnt made apparent i cant made a educational assessment which i can understand would be long winded and something you maybe dont want to get into for whatever reasons you have.
