What reason would you have to stop a profitable business?? Sounds like it gives the government time to collect some names and addresses before the site closes.
Sorry, I must have been spending too much time in the political forum. I would never accuse TLG of such. Sorry. They are a GREAT COMPANY with excellent products and service!!! I am just concerned about protecting our community right now.
But think about it. Is this and the PF bust a coincidence? Or does this mean that they know something we don't ...such as spores will become illegal at around the same time business stops, and our government is just giving them a grace period to get out. ?? I'm looking for another reason, but I don't see anything.

I think PF wishes he retired a few month earlier don't you? Quote:

It does? Do you really think if the Government was behind this that we would be making any kind of announcement at all? Please. Quote:

That's cool, I know everyone is on edge right now. These are scary times. Quote:

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that these things are related. Quote:

Oh yes, because the Government has shown just how compassionate they can be to online vendors. Quote:

How about because the online vendors are possibly as scared or more scared than you?, And that they would all just quit today if they could afford too. Do you think that might play a part in this? Stop trying to vilify the remaining vendors. It's not true and it only helps spread paranoia.

Just for the record The Hawks Eye has raised prices as well. They will continue to go up even a little further next week. We hate to do it but this is a high risk business now and we need to save some money in case we need a good attorney like PF.
Also we want to prevent any youngsters from ordering from us as well. Sorry guys & gals, but times are changing.

I feel bad now that everyone is closing up shop, but understand that you're only giving them what they want...

3 Days ago I could buy a syring for $8 Yesterday I could buy one for $10 Today it's $15?????
even worse: I was in the process of ordering 2 syringes at a cost of $15.00. I left my PC and came back 15 minutes later to print my order form and the price had changed to $24.00. I wrote them about my 'concern' and they did not reply.

Thanks for clearing things up better! Again, I'm here to spur discussion, and I don't think it hurts the community to be prepared for such an event. I understand where you are coming from now. I am sorry to see you go ...hope you find another good business.

If you think these prices are high, go into business with cheaper prices. I think once you start to consider the risks, you'll find that syringes for $15 each are still a bargain, all things considered.
