No COAs

[Mayostardayonnaise]

This isn’t regarding a vendor from this forum, just a hypothetical, and hopefully this isn’t already posted somewhere or isn’t allowed:

How often have you come across a grey vendor since you’ve started, that does not provide COAs? Or that only does a “representative set” of COAs every 3-6 months?
To be really clear, I’m not talking about vendors that do preorders, then they do a COA weeks later. Just, you know, no COA.
Thanks!

I have been looking for a vendor since SSA disappeared that does not require crypto and has good prices and has the ones I am looking for, and finally found one yesterday. MXM, lots of posts and pictures from seemingly happy customers, but they have one COA on their pepchat page since July, which is a bit of a concern.

I'll pay more from a vendor with COA's. The only time I buy without them is if what I want isn't available otherwise.
