I wouldn't say that the Shroomery doesn't care about it's members, but I have noticed that threads that deal with complaints about a sponsor get locked quickly or the person complaining gets flamed. When a non-sponsor is talked about positively, the threads also seem to get locked, but always remain open if it's a complaint about a non-sponsor.

This isn't exactly a fortune 500 type of business, so I'm sure alot of start up non-sponsor sites can't afford to pay the $200+ sponsorship fees here. That doesn't mean that the company sucks, just that they don't have the $$ to be a sponsor.

Granted, the sponsors pay the Shroomery bills. I do see where HC is coming from though. This place shouldn't become the Microsoft of the OMC.

Let's not forget, we're all part of the Online Mushroom Community :peace:

Ya know. I couldnt agree more..We do not aim to be the "Microsoft of the OMC." We do want to be a quality based-business and make our customers happy. Instead of flaming us, just speak with us. If you feel something is not fair, we will surely speak about it. We may even come to the conclusion of changing it! Just don't jump so quick to label us as bad. There are quirks in everything. We are just now upping our business. We are open to suggestions all the time. We are going to be opening contests and discounts and even coupons for Shroomery members. You guys are our business. We do not want you to think you are being treated unfairly. Hippiechick just jumped on us. Hippie is a great girl. I've followed her posts before. Just cut us some slack, please.

I wasn't gearing that comment so much towards you guys, just the way the system seems to work around here. Mike O' was charging $50 per dozen jars and I didn't hear too many people bitching about that.

I understand where HC is coming from and I also understand where you guys are coming from. There is alot of overhead involved in business, especially a new one. HC just doesn't want to see anyone get ripped off, but it is THEIR choice whether to buy or not.

My problem is when threads get locked and people get flamed for posting negatively about a sponsor here. That's a form of censorship any way you slice it. This forum should be an environment where people can voice their opinion freely, GOOD or BAD.

Not trying to knock you guys. Business is business and people have the choice whether or not to do business with you guys. :peace:

I understand. I agree 110%. We do not want to rip anyone off. I have been here at the Shroomery for quite some time. Which is why I know HC is a great person. She doesn't want to anyone to get ripped off. We are not going to rip anyone off. We are not like (the 100$ a syringe guy, won't mention him here.) Alot of labor and such goes into our products. Not all of them, but the jars and such. If we just started lowering all of our prices under everyone elses, we could start another fight between vendors! Not something we want to do. If you feel our prices are unfair, we will take it into serious consideration. I have nothing but love for this community. It is really difficult to get a business going well. We have been open for some time now, but nothing really serious. We are ready for that step-up which is why we are here. Everything we make is made for best quality. We apologize for any inconveniences. If you wish to speak with us about something PM me or email us at admin@mycoshack.com

Enough bullshit, bottom line:

*It is your own job to be a good consumer and make wise buying decisions. Research products first, read reviews, check for warranties, ask questions, I do you should too.

*You can't blame sponsors for taking advantage of the demand and setting prices accordingly. If someone wants to pay for the convience of not wandering around Walmart and other super stores buying obscure items let them PAY.

I agree with hippie and the vendor its a toss up, I see their kits are reasonably priced, I see other web sites selling similar kits for twice what mycoshack is offering them
I do think some of the prices on other stuff is ridiculous but I dont know where their source for the products is, he might have to charge that much to make a profit
This is why we have the economics we have in this country, its competition, when I buy something over the net I always shop around if someone is charging a lot for something I just simply dint buy from them, its their loss......

Then somtimes stores rip you off, I just bought a hydor heater it cost me 40 bucks at petco, they are selling a inccubator kit with the same heater for 49.99, sounds like a good deal to me..

I agree with hippiechick. This is a community, and its based on the fact that everyone contributes what they can. The shroomery itself can contribute a huge market, honestly. I don't think that should be taken advantage of for profit. Its like buying a commercial or something. I guess I thought the sponsors on here were selected by a group that had certain standards.

Maybe I'm under the wrong assumption, in any event, I finally have money and was going to make a donation to the shroomery for their extensive information and friendly helpful community. People like hippiechick had amazing set-ups, and helped me tremendously. This is really making me rethink who I want to support. And sadly, Hippiechick is one of the most helpful giving people on this board. She doesn't charge for her advice, and she donates her time and effort. Other people like me donate money because we are grateful to a community with standards. There are a lot of other awesome people here, but hippiechick will be missed by many.

I kinda wanted to believe this was the utopia of people helping each other, not one more place to grossly overcharge people who just haven't learned that everyone will fuck you over hiding behind the cry of capitalism.

i also talked with hippie chick and she will be missed and so won't her helpful information too bad and on a side note maybe you should try not to explain your price gouging by saying its because the cost of starting your business maybe thats why mike didn't get flamed and not even the jars the hygrometer do you call labor going to a store and buying them lol i thought to the shroomery held some kinda of standard to sponsor and you sead you been in biasness why did you say the cost of starting your company it just don't make no sense

the admins have obviously accepted money so that another vendor may advertise here.

big fucking deal.  :rolleyes:

they didn't say:

"this is the place to buy from"
"buy from this company or leave the site"
"they are the best"

the admins have presented multiple vendors to purchase from. some vendors charge more than others. some sell different products. it's up to you to check them out and decide which is the best for you to buy from.  as long as the vendor is honest, there shouldn't be a problem.

Well, a lot of reasons! Love of the community, desire to "spread the knowledge," etc.. Not everyone is money-hungry, ask anyone who has actually dealt with us......I spend 12-14 hours a day working/corresponding and I barely make a dime........why do I do it? Because I LOVE it!

And I didn't mean that the Taylor was so expensive because of OUR startup, basically that we're somewhat new and not all of our sources are the best - IN FACT AFTER CHECKING, WE WERE PAYING WAY TOO MUCH FOR THOSE TEMP/HUM GAUGES!! So there ya go - they'll be a lot cheaper, HOPEFULLY soon.

Sorry you guys are getting the 3rd degree! :crazy:

There are other sponsors here that are charging just as much (if not more) for similar items, so I think it's unfair to come down on you guys in particular. It's business. I think your biggest mistake was including the Taylor brand into your lineup :lol:

Anyways, good luck to you and your company. As long as you stay honest with your customers, I don't see any problems for you guys.
