I certainly didn't set my prices in some scheme to "undercut" anyone. I can charge $10 because I don't have the advertising costs that the "big guys" have. Those HT ads ain't cheap. There is another vendor here in the OMC that sells their syringes for roughly the same price as "The Little Guy", so I really don't think I was being a groundbreaker.

CJ,
i was most implying respect for the "established" vendors. they do the OMC a favor IMO...and i dont think a newbie (no disrespect) should impose on that.
but then again..is there respect in capitalism?
most likely not. but,
i do think there are things that need all due respect, and this being one of them....what do you think?

boxtop,
lets keep this civil....im not "slinging mud at you"...
you are a new "vendor"....new vendors get questioned around here...especially in this case, where people exchange moneys, names and addresses.
that being said, you have only been here 1 month, not including the 2 months of flames.
so, i dont see why you think im "slinging mud at you",
like i said, new vendors get questioned left n' right.
do you see where im coming from?
if questioning vendors wasnt allowed, i dont think vendors would get much business.
In reply to:
You would be shocked to learn my sources for both my spore stock and my techniques.
most, if not all vendors, have special *arrangements*.
but what is in question, is your knowledge and "technique".
if im wrong, please enlighten me.
if i assumed wrong, i apologize in advance.
but judging from your "product test log", i see a pf BRF stlye jar with, (assumingly) the ramsey seal. is this where your "product" grows from?
is this your "technique"?
please enlighten me.
Mods, if i am "stepping" on toes", please p/m me and let me know what is or isnt questionable...theres an invisible line...that i dont want to step over...nor do i know where that line is....
*note* with all due respect, there are many vendors other than what i listed, that are just as great, some of which who have already posted in this thread.

Forty, stop flaming me. The Idea of the product test log was to prove the viability of my spore products, not to prove to you Mr. flamer, or anyone else the wizardry of my cultivation skills. As long as the test is being done on the same substrate every time, then it is valid. I'm claiming to put out a decent product, NOTHING ELSE. As with most vendors, mistakes will occassionaly happen, If any customer feels they have a problem stemming from a bad syringe, WE REPLACE IT. It's that simple. Forty, I'm just a guy trying to do the very best job I can. Do us all a favor and go back to OTD.

I think the only respect I have for Vendors is for the ones who aren't always posting in this forum. Trying to keep the peace around here gives you an interesting perspective on it.

its funny i was thinking that - if i was going to order something, would i from a guy who starts calling other people names - if you were in a store and the guy behind the counter started calling the customer in front of you a troll would you think that maybe he was a bit weird?? :-)

Depends what the customer did to be yelled at. I mean, if he's standing in front of the store saying 'don't go in' to potential customers then I think most storekeepers would kick the guys ass down the street.

boxtop, im not flaming you. please quote me on where you get that asumption. i have kept things civil, i havent even used foul language. remember, you are a vendor now, so please answer my questions and quit avoiding them by claiming im flaming you.
if anyone is insighting a flame, you are the one calling me "Mr. Flamer". and "Do us all a favor and go back to OTD."
who is "US" boxtop?, you have been here 1 month. i have been here almost 2 years. so i think i know how things go around here ya know?
i didnt claim anything about bad syringes from "the little guy" ;
and your replacement policy, goes standard for most if not all vendors.
i did claim however, and by you "product test log", you are a newbie, who hasnt advanced past BRF.
i also claimed that a newbie who hasnt a fraction of know how about this hobby, shouldnt be imposing on the established vendors, thier prices, or their established respect.
if i am wrong, please enlighten me, please do.
like i said, please quote me where i have said anything offensive, or have said things as a personal grudge.
this is strickly, a customer/vendor forum.
as quoted "Customers can also discuss things related to the Vendors with other users and the Vendors themselves."

Forty, I will not keep going in circles with you about this. The reason I entered this thread in the first place was because you said my prints were "newbie" quality. Since you have never seen my prints you basically are talking out of your ass. If you do not want to order from me, dont. Now go away, I will not sink to your level any further.

boxtop, how are we going in circles when you wont even answer a single one of my questions.
have you heard of public relations?
In reply to:
The reason I entered this thread in the first place was because you said my prints were "newbie" quality. Since you have never seen my prints you basically are talking out of your ass.
the reason why you entered this thread is irrelevant, i didnt question ever, why you "jumped into this thread"., however, what i "claimed", was that your products were of "newbie quality"...well since you wont answer a single one of my questions, lets elaborate:
you proved your "technique" and your "source" of your prints, by posting your PRODUCT test log.
a newbie using BRF., you said i'd be shocked, but im definately not. thus, your products ARE of newbie quality.
In reply to:
Since you have never seen my prints you basically are talking out of your ass. If you do not want to order from me, dont
i have a proposition for you.
(since you wont answer my questions)
how prints or syringes look "physically" does not matter, but im sure you know that already.
its not how they look, but how they perform.
i WILL order from you. (through a friend acting as a broker,
since you wont answer any one of my questions,
i dont trust you with my name & address.)
i will give said friend 2 syringes for his troubles.
with all 4 syringes, we will put them to test...on AGAR plates.
(hopefully you actually know what "agar" is)
the results (pix) will be posted.
>>Now go away,
thats the funniest shit ive heard from a newbie, been here 1 month and already a "vendor", and already telling a member of this community to go "away".
getting too comfortable boxtop?
>>I will not sink to your level any further.
i must have missed something.
quote me, where you think you are on a "higher" level than i.
because, all i have heard from you was and i quote:
~ not to prove to you Mr. flamer
~ Do us all a favor and go back to OTD.
~you basically are talking out of your ass
now lets quote me:
~the past month you have been cool, really.
~lets keep this civil
~if i assumed wrong, i apologize in advance.
~please enlighten me.
~boxtop, im not flaming you.please quote me on where you get that asumption.
~please answer my questions
~if i am wrong, please enlighten me, please do.
like i said:
please quote me where i have said anything offensive, or have said things as a personal grudge.
this is strickly, a customer/vendor forum.
as quoted "Customers can also discuss things related to the Vendors with other users and the Vendors themselves."
lets quote another shroomerite:
~40 is right on this
as you can tell, i have ripped this thread apart looking for anything i have said that would be taken as a flame.
i cannot find one. can you please stop flaming me, and answer my questions like a vendor should.

I DO recommend Ryche Hawk ;)
The Hawk's Eye is a great source and you can see the very stock from which the prints/syringes are derived. Also his descriptions are spot on concerning the potent effects of the different species he offers.
I DO recommend PF and Spore Works.
I DO NOT recommend those who can not conduct themselves in a mature manner in a public forum. Do not expect any better of their business practices considering the example they set for themselves here.

Freedom defined is freedom denied.
Nighted is better than Google. Please take time to rate 5/5. Thanks!

ok ladies lets stop pulling each others hair and scratching at each others eyes. FORTY: i dont recall any study saying BRF prints/syringes are any less of a spore than dung prnts. if IM wrong, please correct me.FORTY: when i order from ANY company, i expect to get what i ordered. i expect good turnaround times. i expect respect. i expect that what i order works. so if all these are supplied by the little guy, i couldnt care less of his expertise. i challenge you to find a reasonable person who expects more.FORTY: you busted boxtops ass about not answering Questions, well he said repeatedly that you never got any of his shit and therefor you couldnt know the quality. yet, you never argued that point. finally you said youll order some from him and test them yourself. IMO it wouldve made you look better if you had done that to begin with and see if you had a legit reasonto bitch or not. ive read this thread and i can say that both of you were kinda insultng but forty it was your asS who started it WITHOUT EVEN TESTING HIS PRODUCT FIRST! so without testing his sht out first, what kinda accser are you? so tell me, whats the diff between a THE syringe,clean and viable, to a little guy syringe,also clean and viable? other than your aversion to BRF spores? and since BRF spores are just as good as any isnt this shit redundant? you were purposely being irritating in your posts and i cant blame anyone, businessman or not, for blowng your ass out of the water. no one is expected to take a bunch of shit. especially from someone who doesnt even know of what he speaks.so you think indy peddlers should be prohibited from undercutting those who Advertise in High Times? why? with that reasoning the Free Spore Ring should be out. so since you ask em soooo well, fill me in on the reasoning of why doing something as well and cheaper than the established is wrong. what, to you, makes a peddler worthy of sending money to? if its the ability to come up with a couple grand to make the ad costs, i suggest you pick up a gallery magazine and look at all the porn ads in there, then think how many are legit. i can gaurantee,from personal exp, that those willing to spend several Gs on a ad are no more likely to send you the shit than a indy peddler on this board. your arguemant sounds good on the surface, now back it up.

Well, I haven't ordered syringes, but The Spore Works delivered great prints in record time.
You can also depend on The Hawk's Eye for great products. Ralphster also has nice stuff......

I don't know, but this is one flamish thread, I agree with you nighted, if your going to be a vendor act like a vendor...very unacceptable... I would definitly recommend the hawks eye, ralphster44, and lilshopofspores.
