GB gone wrong - a cautionary tale

[thebonus]

I was going to take part in the one on Barn but if I take a step back and think without emotion , it’s the guys first one and he wants to sell 2000 kits . I think after reading the above going to sit this one out .

Lots of us having issues with Alex lately from shipping miscues to forgetting product.

FTF pizza party

Yeah, it was the Pizza Party through FTF. I’ve been in the FTF server for a long time but they never had very interesting peps and I have no interest in AAS, so I didn’t join the separate Pizza Party server when they set it up. That’s where the fire has been raining down. The main group was locked down by an admin with a very simple explanation that the Pizza Party buy went sideways, Cheezr said he’d issue refunds and he hasn’t, so the group was being locked down to avoid more chaos.

Damn, i almost went after the wolverine blend they were offering too. I barely missed getting hit.

Honestly though, since I've seen zippitys thoughts on the matter since buying in im wayyyyy less inclined to try another one.
Still waiting to see if I get my cheap tirz and fresh hgh on a buy I threw wayyyyy to much money at.

Ehh, I don’t know. There’s a difference between an organized GB with a domestic party and what the CN vendors call a GB, which is a pitiful attempt at a promo.

Like I said in a previous comment, some of them are run very well, but any of them can go sideways…just like your direct buys from CN can go sideways. Keep using whichever method meets your personal risk tolerance and don’t spend any more with any one source than you’re comfortable losing.

Personally, I like the ease of 3P testing, the better prices, and not having to have a package with my name on it go through customs, so I’ll keep doing selective GBs. (And again, I’m not talking about what the overseas vendors refer to as GBs.).

Whew, nor mine. Ima think twice before sinking so much money into a group buy next time! Hopefully my massive last order goes through!

Luckily I only spent 125 on some reta but damn, my heart dropped for a minute.

I think the jury is still out on this one. From what I heard, he did give Lobster some money, so the total isn't $65k. Whatever the motivation, doxing can change your mind real quick. We'll have to see how it plays out.

don't tell the tale if you're not going to tell it right, lol

hey they said they were'nt sure from the beginning..

If you recognize and accept that the majority of group buys are as Zippity succinctly described, I do enjoy the modest savings, 3P testing and not jeopardizing my Global Entry/TSA Pre status. The smaller, private endeavors are much better - we all know each other and there’s an element of trust - we take care of each other (“can anybody spare a half kit of R30 until my next order gets in next month?”).

I continue to be pleasantly surprised that there’s not MORE scamming in this world. Or I’ve just been ridiculously lucky.

What gets me is there are these tg groups that announce a big gb, then it's only open for 30 minutes at a time. People with jobs and families ain't got time to sit on tg. Even more amazing is that with all of the groups out there, people find that this is acceptable and get defensive when they get told they are mental for doing so.
The smaller gb with consistent deliveries is the way to go.

How cheap are these group buys purporting to get lobster product? .80$ per iu ordered and shipped directly without the risk of a stranger seems ok to me. I trust the guys test results so perhaps that’s a factor that I’m not desirous of having them retested with a gb or myself.

Last big one I noticed was $0.40/IU

Edit to add this thread for some historical pricing noted by the community:
