There's certain chinese website where you can get bulk for cheap, but it will probably take about a month for delivery depending where you are. Food grade agar agar has a shelf life I think, make sure you can use it all before it goes bad 👍

Check restaurant supply stores if you need large amounts. If you know someone with a restaurant depot card, your may be able to find a good deal with it the long ship time. A pound is a lot of agar, I can't even imagine how long a 25kg bag would last for most in this hobby.

No because that's a absolutely ridiculous amount of agar. Youd need to split that 100 ways or more
Telephone agar is $1 per 25g. Agar isn't expensive to begin with.

Given$1\25g is certainly not cost prohibitive and I have no idea why 25kg would every be needed.....but...... $1\25g=$10\250g=$100\2.5kg=$1000\25kg! Again, no clue why it would be needed but if it were, that $850 pack would start to look more appealing. However, if it is no good for the purpose it is needed for, them you didn't save$150, you wasted$850.

1000 vs 850 isn't big enough savings to give myself a 3.5 lifetime supply.
I will absolutely stick with paying 15% more thanks

Mostly I like making Supply inquiries I think I'll spend the next week or so whittling the agar manufacturers down on Alibaba until they give me the best price for 5 to 25 kg I'm going to go in with a bunch of shroomery members on here and distribute it to the shroomery community at cost. It's time to cut out some of the middleman profiteering in the agar Market. So that's it I'm going to make deals where I make zero money and get everybody at Cost super cheap bulk agar with a sacrifice of me having to do a bunch of snail mail work which I do for fun anyway so I wouldn't consider it work

As if agar isn't already dirt cheap. Buy dishes in mega bulk if you want to help people out with costs

Maybe you have changed as your reply to this dudes feedback seems to suggest but, I can't help but be wary on a statement like this when you have a 0/5 trade feedback that says
Quote:
Not only did he bullshit me on the amount of plates and the fact that they could not be pc'd he then said about 2 weeks ago that he would send me more of a different kind now is ignoring me and plates have never shown up. I will change my rating if you keep your word but at this point I really don't care
As for bulk agar...I bought 250 grams of agar like 2 years ago and have grown a lot of mushrooms since...like definitely over 200 tubs

It's been awhile but my last 500 case of celltreat 100mm was I believe $70 from Amazon. $14 savings it's bad I guess. I know some ebay sometimes has cheaper. If you could get glass that price, I'm totally in though.

25g of tele fizzle agar dizzle is not $1 each either more like 2.99 or 1.69 each if you buy 100 cheapest
I will check azn store in person today. For official prices
Look thats shitty to bring up bad shrooms ratings. But but I told that guy hit me up and i got him back a lot was going on house was moldy filthy accidentally steppend in the box broke like 60% of the plates and cats scratched litter onto the others. Back after turning it all around new house new baby new business big growth and now things are stable . But those prices the reflect accurately my acquisition prices.
The chepaest possible pound of agar is $30 on amazon.
You geezers think Of i bought 3 cases of 500 back in OH seventeen for 72dolllars thats not the case any more. THAY ARE 90$ LOWEST COST you can find on ebay period or amazon. or from olympic or fischer or many others i have been checking
I am here finding these thing for the shroomery community and for rabbit hole vendor and lowest price finding skill delvedeepinginto.

Amazon:Celltreat 500cs 100mm $86
Not trying to bash you here man, I'm really not. I just feel like your trying to justify a mole hill as a mountain so to speak. If, hypothetically, we went in together and bought some it would be shipped to one address. Then that person would distribute it. the reason companies offer free shipping and low shipping rates is because they are shipping lots of stuff. for me or you to ship a case of 500 plates is not likely to be cheap. In fact, I would wager it would be most of the amount saved by ordering them together. So either the person distributing them is going to lose money in the process, OR everyone's pretty much going to break even. Best of luck and I hope you can work it out with some people to make it worth the while.
