peptide markup

First it seems fake to me.
But then, if you take the listed price for each item and multiply it by 10, it would seem like a believable wholesale price where they make about $20 per kit. Could that for some reason be per vial cost? Like someone removed columns out of the spreadsheet.

Would seem feasible but i just ordered reta 60 for 165 on a group buy.... the list they would pay more. Also that list may be for over a thousand kits.
 
I do not rule out the possibility of disinformation intended to divide and conquer.

When I see some of the reactions, I think that sellers will soon be overwhelmed with questions and will have a harder time making sales.

Damn, Eli Lillys "cia department" dropped this to tear us apart from the inside.

With pricing like this, I'm surprised we don't see more variation given how much competition there is between vendors. Newer vendors would typically be expected to operate on lower margins since they haven't yet built the reputation or customer trust that comes with a largely ''word of mouth'' marketplace. I'd be surprised if these prices are completely accurate, especially when the differences between vendors are often only around $20 per product. You'd expect to see much larger gaps, particularly between high volume vendors like PPHK and smaller vendors that are still struggling to gain traction. Those smaller vendors would normally be more inclined to lower prices in order to attract buyers, build confidence and gather reviews.

I agree. I very much doubt it is accurate. Vendors would be trying to undercut each other all time if it were true. There is no OPEC for Chinese peptides keeping everyone in line. No one is giving up the kind of profit they would make if they were $20 cheaper than everyone else. And then if someone cut prices by $20, someone else would cut by $21. That's how you make money and these companies definitely know how to make money.

I also think there is a hidden costs of doing business from China to other countries. If you read between the lines. I don’t think the Pepitides are the only cost of being a vendor.

The prices have been coming down steadily, albeit that still shows they have a decent margin to work with. I’m not sure what kind of overhead costs they face, but there certainly are additional costs associated with their businesses. I have no problem with capitalism, so the rate of decline to the rock bottom pricing doesn’t concern me. It’s trending in the right direction. HOWEVER, what does concern me is the rate of decline in the quality of the product. The sterility and endo issues have been increasing over the first half of this year. Additionally, there’s a rash of cloudy reta out the in the market. But in the last 2 weeks, I’ve seen more zero pep or mislabeled pep than I ever have and that’s completely unacceptable. There’s so much bunk stuff out there right now that I’ve passed on several really appealing buys because I don’t trust the quality and don’t want the hassle as we’ve also seen a rash of vendors who refuse to honor their “guarantees” lately as well.

In short, I’d rather pay a little more and get quality product. I’d be satisfied with the current prices and markup for good stuff, but there is no price that makes it a good deal if you’re just going to get crap in exchange for it.

I’m fortunate to be sitting on a decent stash of peps I bought last year. It certainly makes it easier to sit on the sidelines to see if any of them clean up their act and improve their QC. Part of me thinks those wholesale prices on the list reflect the fact that they know it’s bunk and are just trying to unload it as quickly as possible.

The MOQ must be extremely high to get those kind of prices. Maybe it starts at 1000 kits? More?

I jumped on that too. I like that group and have bought there before. Did you see the R30 for $89 that starts in a couple weeks?
 
Just one example, since I have a lot of it, I'll use Reta 10mg. The price on that list is $4.14. I am not in the manufacturing business, but it would seem that there has to be at least close to that much money just in the cost for ten glass vials and the plastic case before you even account for the manufactured and freeze dried product inside. This does not make sense to me.

Prices for the vials are as low as .01-.10 each when purchased in large quantities.

Vial plastic cases are as low as .16-.21 each.

They accidently sent one of the individuals on STG the wholesale prices for distributors. It is eye opening to see the markup the vendors are getting. No wonder they can replace vials that don't make it through customs.

I don't see this on STG.
Who's the source, a combination of AI and this girl?...

"Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."
 
No real way to know how likely it is to be true but interesting anyway. Amazing the profit margins from intellectual property theft. Reminds me of a time a few years ago when I was buying blank cds for 50c and selling them as playstation games for $10, a 20 to 1 margin is pretty good though the copying and the selling did require some actual work.

I'm amazed you are excited to brag about being a thief.
 
I think that what some of the “Dears” are doing is not legal in China. Thus there has to be a huge premium to account for that risk. If the risk is small, then there are probably expenses to keep it small. Even if these prices are actually correct, there are always expenses to running a business and if the profits are huge, everyone in the process is going to want a piece of the pie. Call me jaded.
