Hi everyone...My name is Dave and I own and work at ECLIPSE in Martinsburg, WV with my girlfriend, Teale. Please see our store webpage here:
http://members.tripod.com/~Eclipse_/index.html
Phone number: (304) 263-9982 (You may need to call twice to get the answering machine to pick up during non-business hours.) Regular hours are MON-FRI from NOON-7PM. We "lock and leave" AT 7PM, so please arrive early enough to give yourself a good chance to look around and get what you truly want without having a time limit hanging over your head.
We have tons of glass, carrying bags, hookahs, stickers, waaay too much to mention.
Most of all, we are nice people, as opposed to the "custumer service" we have heard from a few customers coming from some notorious area shops.
We buy from literally 100's of companies and a few local blowers out of Winchester, VA...Hedgesville, WV...and my girlfriend Teale blows her glass out of Great Cacapon, WV...We also still buy from Teale's instructors out of St. Pete, FL and Concrete, Washington State...So, we can also have custom pieces done for you with a reasonable turnaround time.
We stock nearly everything, including grinder/pollen catcher combos, pollen presses, inexpensive vaporizers and even the original Volcano brand vaporizer from Germany--a true delicassy for you connoisseurs out there.
I would almost bet my left arm that our prices are better than virtually every other store you have been to. (That's what our customers tell us.)
THE HUGE DIFFERENCE between our store and any other out-of-state pipe shops is:
Everything we do is 100% LEGAL. There is nothing "sketchy" about our operation. Here's why: West Virginia is the ONLY state in the country that is EXEMPT from the FEDERAL LAW against selling drug paraphernalia. For real! I am a licensed authorized dealer of drug paraphernalia in the state of WV through the office of the WV State Tax Commissioner under (WV Code) Chapter 47, Article 19. This means we must document the name and address of the purchaser, date and time of sale, and item and quantity of purchase. We must keep the record for at least 2 years. This is only to assure that we do not sell to minors, so please bring your valid, state-issued picture I.D....(your valid driver's license or valid non-driver I.D.) That's it! As long as you are at least 18 and bring your proper I.D., you can legally buy all the drug paraphernalia you want--and we have been selling pipes since we obtained our paraphernalia license in November of 1997. We previously opened in June of 1995 offering professional body piercing and then merged into clothing and accessories...and finally carrying all glass...
We only play the best drum and bass music in our store and sometimes I will bring in grooveboxes and older analog synths to play live during store hours.
Come see us! Thanks for your support!
Cheers,
-Dave
