Crush Research User Review: I’m developing a massive Crush!
-
@Stevepep To be fair to Crush, these kinda constant sales/drops are now a thing with pretty much all the vendors.
Vendors who chose to stay away from price index forums and not do special sales are becoming irrelevant, their batches are getting old. Ever heard of Skye that was a big name six months ago? Last I checked some of their stuff is more than a year old now.
Jeff/Randy doesn't announce vendor sales, and I like it that way because it allows us to discuss our things than constant posts from the forum admins. But constant sales are constant with most vendors now.
@pep_researcher Nexaph rarely has a sale, same with ezpeptide, and I bet they do more in revenue than any other vendor. People just know and trust the brand. I am not blaming the vendors who do this nonsense. They do it because we all react to it and order like it's the end of days. I said this about BAC. There is no scarcity of it, it's completely market manipulation. If you have an NPI, you can order as much as you want. We created this fear-mongering scarcity because people decided to order 25 at a time when it's nearly impossible to use one in 60-90 days. They are sitting on several years of something that has a one year expiration. Logic is completely gone so we are just getting what we deserve.
As you said above, there will be better, more stable, more tested products in the future, and we will be sitting with freezers full of old technology.

@Nuncles yes we are. We are creating this craziness. People will be sitting waiting for the minute the sale happens and order years worth of stuff to add to their already years worth of stuff scared it will sell out. Then magically two weeks later it reappears and wash and repeat it’s a great business. Until the cycle stops you can’t blame the vendors for our own stupidity.
@Stevepep I wouldn't put a blame on vendors. Just like I wouldn't blame big pharma for price gouging. That's their business and they will do whatever to keep their profits.
The main culprits are a**hole Eff Dee Aa, other regulators, administration, and politicians, who are supposed to work for PEOPLE and their well-being but are complete sellouts.
If you see all such crazy stocking cycles happen right after some Eff Dee Aa shenanigans. See their March-April nonsense with compounding pharmacies and some RUO vendors and there was similar frenzy, H BAC went in shortage.
The payment processor pressure and nonsense is a similar thing. Suddenly it can feel like a doomsday. If you cannot even pay, how can the business run.

Thankfully since I joined RUO only recently, all my inventory is still relatively new and stuff that will be usable for years given their results, but yeah I definitely could have saved a couple of grands by not stocking up in fear, and used that for fresher and better tested stock.

@pep_researcher Can't disagree with that, but the reality is this isn't some product that is proprietary. Anyone can make it. There is no secret sauce. It's always going to be available.
On Customs, Millions of kilos of drugs like fentanyl, cocaine, and opioids pass through customs every day. The vast majority don't get seized. This is another falsity about peptides. Most of us have ordered grey many times and don't get it seized. It's a rarity, it's not common. The vendors want us to believe it's common for selfish reasons, but it's not.

Yeah unfortunately newbs take a few months to realize that and by then they have already parted with some of their money in stocking up. Like I did.
Much of my stocking up was in the first 2-3 months and then I stopped.Then I also realized that there are other things worthy of research which can be complementary. Not get micro-focused on GLPs. Like I fell in love with BPC TB research outcomes.

Not necessarily mad about it. I KNEW exactly what was going on but ended up telling myself, "if it turns out to be true, do I want to be one holding the short end of the stick?" Lesson learned....now on to stockpiling RUO like an ignorant idiot.
