So............as I continually notice folks getting scammed and such by new and/or unproven or known-to-be-unreliable vendors.................I ask myself "Why?" lol

Why go with the thoroughly unknown?

I don't get it. lol

Risk takers?

Anyway - I'm wondering if there is a pep that suppresses the need-to-buy-at-the-cheapest-now fomo receptor.

Thoughts?

You have just renamed my cryo freezer from Jack's Apothecary. It is packed with Fomotide. 9 years of Tirz at full dose, 2 years of Reta, an assortment of Mazdutide and Semaglutide, Tesamorelin, Ipamorelin, HGH and Glow. I still worry that the government will find a way to cut the supply completely. All while trying to dose down after reaching goal weight. Currently have added 1.5IU of HGH daily to the Tirz. My knee arthritis has improved significantly. I have traded food addiction for addiction to the process. IMG_4449.JPG

I get what you’re saying, but I also think there’s value in trying new vendors, especially in small amounts at first. It’s how the community figures out what works and what doesn’t. Plus, if you only ever stick with one vendor, you have no backup options if something happens with them. Everyone has to start somewhere and experimenting a little keeps the options open..... and the FOMO slightly less painful 😎.
 
Being new around here, I guess I use the following rationale when looking at the suppliers in the established Vendor Connection and the Marketplace (please correct any of my WAGs):

1) These suppliers are probably not manufacturers, which makes them distributors/reps/dealers for an unknown number of actual manufacturers. I'm guessing these manufacturers are probably running consignment warehouses to supply these dealers and manage the freight forwarding.

2) Price of admission for these dealers is more than likely COAs (for credibility, but also from various mfgrs based on availability), committing to X amount of inventory, which is why they offer a smaller menu of items at the jump.

3) These new/unproven dealers need a low price to turn heads, but a low price is soon forgotten when the service sucks, so they need to perform. Survival of the fittest will prevail as we drop dimes about their performance here.

So if you're after only a few of the popular items, and you can accept China shipping times and risks, you will save a fair chunk of change for the same/similar product. The service is the great unknown, and as always, "Caveat Emptor".
 
I just wanted to buy some adamax, and not use crypto, and almost everyone advertising it on their lists did not actually have it , so I found one of the many newer vendors on Data Mining Site - TP peptide, communication was terrible, said they had things in stock before I paid and then did not after I paid, and did not send tracking until 2 days after I asked which was 9 days after I paid, but I did eventually get most of what I wanted, and as far as I can tell it contains the correct peptide. But customer service was the worst I have had.

Ya'll.....here's my deal........as the father of a super-high-IQ-and super-bored-and super-aggressive and very much NOT-chinese son who was 14 years old when COVID started and living in Pennsylvania and my son deduced how to make nearly as much as his father does (which is pretty decent I don't mind saying) via drop-shipping and selling junk goods from China, I have learned and have to laugh at our collective delusion that many of these "vendors" are anything near deserving of the title or expectation other than it is a full blown miracle that we receive anything at all.

I am certain that my son (now 19 and still in PA) could very readily setup a relationship with another teenager in China or elsewhere and present a "vendor face" to score a few successful shipments, take a ton of crypto and paypal, and disappear overnight. Let me be clear - he is NOT doing this and has a reputable position and is not dabbling in China anymore - - -- but he absolutely could. And he's only one of millions.

Like I said - I don't get the draw of the completely unproven vendors.

Your son’s story kind of proves the point that anyone can put on a vendor face these days. That risk never really goes away, no matter how long someone’s been around.
But that’s where I struggle with the word unproven.
Unproven where?
Is “proven” = a Telegram channel?
A Discord?
Pep-Chat?
GLP-1 boards?
Length of time in business?
Or just that enough people haven’t complained yet?
Because by that definition, every single vendor was “unproven” at some point… and realistically, every vendor is still one bad day away from disappearing tomorrow.
I’m not advocating throwing money at random pop-up sellers. I’m talking about trying new vendors in small, low-risk ways, watching community feedback, and building redundancy. If you only ever rely on one source, you’re actually more vulnerable when (not if) something changes with them.
The community figuring out who’s legit doesn’t happen without some people cautiously testing the waters. That’s how reputations are built in the first place.
So I don’t think it’s thrill-seeking or FOMO as much as it is:
risk management, diversificationy,
and not putting all your eggs in one vendor basket
In a space where literally any vendor could vanish overnight, “proven” is always temporary.
Curious what your definition of unproven really is...... platform, time, volume of reviews, or something else?

Spidey sense. 🙂 LOL - just kidding - mostly.

I guess what sends the red flag up for me the most and the quickest is an onslaught of ad posts from "vendors" who've been on the forum for only a month or two and are promoting costs majorly less expensive than the tried and true - at least mine. For me - and only me - I have more faith in sending my slow-boat money to vendors who clearly aren't desperate to be seen and/or noticed. I'm willing to pay more and wait a bit longer for an Uther (or some such) shipment personally. Something like that.

That actually makes sense, and I appreciate you clarifying what unproven means to you. We’re probably closer in opinion than it sounds.
I agree that a brand new account blasting ads with prices way below market is a red flag. Desperation marketing + rock-bottom pricing + no track record = nope for me too.
Where I think we differ is that I don’t see “new” and “unproven” as the same thing by default. Some vendors are new to this forum but not new to the supply chain, and some longstanding vendors are really just middlemen with a longer paper trail. Neither one is magically safer.
To me, the only way anything becomes “proven” is because a few people cautiously test them:
small orders
shared results
community feedback
consistency over time
Without that, we’d all still be using the same 2 vendors forever and hoping they never vanish (oops they did SRY & SSA😉)
So I’m not chasing cheapest or flashy ads. I’m more in the measured curiosity camp: low risk, small orders, eyes open, diversify sources so I’m not dependent on just one.
Your approach is totally valid....... pay more, wait longer, stick with quiet, established vendors. Mine is more like risk management through redundancy. Different paths to the same goal: not getting burned.
And honestly, in a space where any vendor could disappear tomorrow, “proven” is always temporary anyway

I applaud your parenting. What an ambitious chap you've raised! Hearing tales like this is inspiring AF. Good for him for taking on that venture when he was 14. 🙌

I would definitely try to work on that frost issue.

Agree. My plan was to move all of the product to a regular freezer, shut the cryo freezer off, dry it out, add a bottle of vodka for some mass and reload. Now that I am at goal of both weight and FOMOtide, I probably won't open it for a while. I dislike temp cycling if I can avoid it.

@jdaniel30 - SO CURIOUS - did the addition of HGH increase your appetite? It overrides my RETA + CAGRI - even when using just the tiniest dose. HOW are you compensating for the extra appetite - OR - are you not feeling that? What time of day/night do you add the HGH?
 
Glad I see someone's else experience with hgh and appetite. Used to get skin sensitivity at 8mg weekly reta. With 3iu hgh im at 10mg reta with no skin sensitivity and 1mg semi to barely be able to control my appetite at maintenance calories.

HGH had no effect on appetite for me. The main effects were loss of belly fat and improvement in knee arthritis. Currently I am 10 pounds below target weight and am only doing Tirz at 7.5 and slowly reducing that dose.
