Peptide Test message about Hospira pricing
-
Seriously, peptide test is selling for $3-4 per bottle more than Medex. And with medex you have to buy a case of 25 to get that price. Most pep vendors are selling it on their site for 25-30. I think we’re being a bit harsh on Peptide Test.
Also… when you couldn’t get it anywhere, they were still between 12-15 per. While everyone else was gouging at $20+. And they limited purchases so everyone gets a chance to stock up.
Honestly, I'm not sure why everyone is getting so worked up over a couple of dollars.
I thought about it, and single bottle pricing is really only a factor if you use a lot of BAC, like 30+ mL a month (if you use this much you probably aren't buying BAC by the bottle...)

@Snake-Pepskin It's not the price; it's the game people are referring to. There never really was a shortage; it lasted a couple of weeks at most. The price hike email said prices would go up 60%. Both times they sent these emails out, they were posted here, and they sold out. Oh, but then they got restocked 48 hours later during the "shortage". As I said, you can't blame the vendors; they have a crazed market that watches and listens to everything and reacts to it. It's a captive market. I am part of it. They have excess inventory, so make an announcement: "shortage" "price increases". Most companies slash prices in these situations, but not with a captive market; you just create some urgency.
There is also really no competition; there is only a handful of vendors, unlike the Peptide market where things are heating up, and prices are coming down. I suspect the fear tactic is coming to slow this down. "It's all going away, get it while you can". What is an issue is the CC processing, and it's not due to peptides its due to massive chargebacks that have made it very high risk. Even if you are the 1000-pound gorilla like Nexaph and your chargebacks are low, you are still impacted, and fees are increasing. Thus, the 25% crypto sale is purposeful and to get us used to using crypto in a comfortable way with a very solid vendor.

@Stevepep
I wonder if Nexaph is trying to get their customers use to crypto now so they can move to crypto only payment in the future. So far they have been lucky avoiding their merchant servicer from dropping them for selling peptides. But I am sure big pharma will be pressuring merchant servicer even more to drop business that sell peptides.Please excuse my typos. Small Phone & Bad Eyes

@Stevepep I get it, as part of as Peptide Test and the emails and, the shortage . The thing is, whenever I needed BAC, and didn’t want to buy a case, they were there.
I don’t mind paying a little extra for stress relief. Ultimately, they’re still the cheapest I found for a short order.

I know the fees got jacked up recently as it’s viewed as very high risk due to a high rate of chargebacks. I suspect newbies order something try it for a week don’t feel or see any results and dispute the charge.

Or they’re just checking to see how many of their regulars are crypto savvy. I have no doubt that this sale was also a test.
I don’t think it’s so much the risk of chargebacks as much as the fees and the fear of getting their cc hub shut down.

@Snake-Pepskin supposedly it's happening on the group buy thing we don't want to talk about. People don't get their order in a month or testing as fast as these new folks expect, and they reach out to the CC company and dispute the charge. They aren't familiar with how this all works and think they ordered from Amazon. These actions are very bad for the rest of us.

@Stevepep I thought group buys were always direct from China.
Are you talking about GBs from Nexaph? Don't they ship from the US? I've never participated in a GB or bought from China but all US side orders usually arrived in less than 4 business days. Even from Amazon some of the more esoteric stuff sold by sellers and not coming from Amazon warehouses can take a week.

@pep_researcher No its a website for group buys that was discussed here a bunch but had to be taken down for very valid reasons.

I don't use crypto. It doesn't benefit the buyer at all. I would have to file that I have crypto and have used it to my taxes. It's just a hassle that only benefits the seller. Hopefully Nexaph and the a few others can continue offering credit cards. I'd even be ok with venmo or zelle or whatever direct from checking payment. I'm not interested in crypto at all.

@pep_researcher And just like that, prices are back to where they were on Peptide Test, imagine that.
@Stevepep - What? PT went up 10%.

That’s probably part of the reason. We will see. Cain hinted at changes coming.

So you don’t know how crypto and the irs work…
No you don’t have to put it on your taxes. You only put it on you taxes if you sell crypto -

No you don’t have to put it on your taxes. You only put it on you taxes if you sell cryptoI have read the exchanges you purchase from have to report that to the IRS and send you a Form 1099-DA.
-
That is for your basis when you sell the crypto, not when you transfer it to another wallet. And most exchanges don’t even issue a 1099 when you sell it. It actually makes it a real mess for the irs. Then if you get audited YOU have to prove what you bought it for (basis).
So if you are buying crypto for an investment you always need to keep the records of when you bought it and how much you paid for it, otherwise they will treat the entire amount as gain…
