The EOY Naughty List

[brentm]

I cannot pretend to be super experienced with all of the different sellers and vendors, but I agree with this concept. Based on the fact that whenever a sale happens several of them release the same sales prices for the same items its pretty clear you are buying the same product from the same company with a different face.

I feel like most of the alphabet companies except for a few are just reselling from QSC. I don't know anything for a fact, but QSC having the lowest cost and worst customer service points to them most likely being the major raw material / finisher (or at least the retail grey market division of the manufacturing lab) That would explain why they offer great prices and dont bend over backwards to provide american style customer service, most of their business is probably to other vendors.

That being said I am only going off feels of the few common alphabet companies posting constantly here in GLP1F; GYC, ASC, QST, QSC, TFC and such. I am sure more companies exist on other sites and parts of the web.

I think you're dead on...

So while we all spend time rating different brands and performing tests on different products it's all probably just the same product from the same manufacturer with different color caps.

Deviation in purity analysis and fill rates obfuscate it enough that it all looks slightly different.

Get a life...

I'm sure you support Entropy Ranch's brand of bullying as he masquerades as some savior for the community to stop bullying.

There are more important issues than someone claiming to have invented a usage protocol.

Really... get a life.

I mean, I also think you should get a life instead of continuously, and weirdly, shilling for a specific vendor which you have done over and over (but what’s my agenda, you ask? 😂) But I’m also happy to just let you continue to shill or whatever it is you’re doing because quite frankly, I don’t care, and I also don’t care about your opinion. So yay let’s just ignore each other and be happy! Wooo!

Pretty odd considering I'm stating above there are like 2-3 manufacturers and infinite salespeople.

I'm sure you're just butt hurt because Gibs story fell apart like a house of cards.

I'll call out your bullshit anytime I feel like it. Feel free to do the same.

I don’t even know who Gibs is but go off. I hope you’re having fun, I guess?

On the topic of vendors, I agree that it may be a lot of different salespeople selling for a few companies. I read an article a while back about the Chinese fentanyl trade that supports the theory. It was talking about the Chinese college grads that take sales jobs with chemical companies and how it ends up being fenanyl and they all have to hustle for clients for commission. So there's a very real possibility that these rival "vendors" are just rival sales staff all trying to get the fattest commissions.

How has nobody mentioned the well known community member/injection pen flipper from the Midwest who decided to become a peptide salesman by pretending to be a Chinese vendor with a name that represents sin itself, and then promptly transforming into a prepay group buy format without anyone seeming to notice. I think that should make the naughty list.

Damn is it illegal for a guy to make a living smh my head.

And for those of you who are internet illiterate that was a joke statement.

And just to be clear that isn't to say that even if these vendors are just reselling QSC's gear, that they are worthless.

We all know that the tests from QSC can be next to worthless because of the fact your product you receive is unlikely to even use the same colored top, much less be from the same batch as the tests.

With resellers, they buy a lot at once for inventory, and likely have a full batch, and they retest that stuff. So at the very least you have a much higher chance of the test being worth a damn, plus faster shipping and better customer service. QSC is a bit of a wildcard on what you receive, and its like buying from a vending machine, but they at least usually have high quality stuff, and you can usually get it sorted out if it goes wrong.

working with other vendors will be easier and less likely to have problems. And when you do have problems they will handle them quicker. Because they at least know that if they dont you will just find someone else to buy from. QSC doesnt care in that regard since they are likely to be the only direct manufacturer.

I think some "resellers" are more likely just "sales people" working for the same person.

They likely work on a commission-basis and simply forward your info to the upstream dealer that ships your product to you.

....You're going to tell people to do their research, then get mad at them for finding multiple sources of information to remain fully informed? I'm just saying.

Why is everyone so up in arms about one particular forum? Everyone here is also on discord, TG, peppy's, meso, some of us on Reddit. This seems like such a silly thing to be upset about. 🤷‍♀️

My favorite naughty list has definitely been the amo stinging that still has yet to have an explanation.

I just found out about this place.. no idea about the others…

You'll see a lot of us on lots of the different forums. It's the best way to make sure you hear about any issues with a particular batch or to make sure you're getting good deals. It also means seeing more varied experiences- a lot of these things don't have many studies, so you have to base your opinions on anecdotes, and the best way to see a lot of those is to be in lots of places.

....I NEED to know which sub this is. Please. Pretty please.

I can answer in DMs! Been temporarily banned there for going off (politely though—not insulting or cursing at) someone trashing Luigi last week bc their mom got sick and “they” didn’t murder anyone. I tried to explain the empathetic pain from supporting a family member is not the same as firsthand pain (from botched surgery, denials when you’re physically suffering). Trying not to get banned again, though, and still get my pop culture fix 😈

It's ok, I've been banned from a couple subs for simply posting in other subs (I got banned from a certain pop stars fan sub for posting in their snark sub, too.) I'll DM you!
