Did I get ripped off?

Hey guys, what's up, I'm new here. Been lurking for a while, seems like a pretty cool place...
So yesterday I got a bag of 3/8 for me and 2 of my friends, but it's all stems. It doesn't really look like 3/8 to me, and it was $30/eighth so I'm not feeling very happy. My other friend is getting hooked up tomorrow and says if he gets a lot of caps he'll trade me some caps for stems which I think I will do, but I just want to know if you guys think this is cool for 3/8. I don't know what kind it is, but I'm thinking it better be potent cause last time I got an eighth it was about 6 small stems and 1 small cap and I wasn't really satisfied.

The difference in potency between caps and stems is negligable.
If you are spending 90 dollars on a sack you can put away 20 for a decent digital scale.

Looks believable to me. It really is impossible to tell though, because weight and size are not always relative.

Also a study showed caps had a little bit more potency in them then stems.
Goto a head shop or maybe walmart or walgreens or the post office and buy a metal hand scale (a letter scale used to weigh letters so you know how many stamps to use) i bought a cheap plain metal one for 2 dollars. (it wont be exact but its close)

i would have no problem getting just stems of good qual lab cubes... idk if thats straight or not by looking. as with ganja you gotta take into consideration that some mushroom stems/caps are denser than others. But just buy guessing it looks like like 3/8,

A nickel weighs 5 grams, 3/8 is 10.5 grams.
Take a pencil and tie 3 pieces of string to it, spaced evenly apart. Put an empty baggy on the 2 end strings and adjust the middle string until it is balanced. Put 2 nickels in one baggy and your mushrooms in the other. If the nickels are heavier then the mushrooms you got ripped off.
Or just buy a scale.

Well said.
I bought some decent digital scales through ebay for less than $20 US. They've worked great for years, and payed for themselves the first time some asshole tried taking advantage of me. *negligible
