New and a little bit confused!

[Graham1992]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the site and have read the rules so don't flame me!!
I was just wondering exactly what I have to do to obtain a valid trustworthy source?
I am NOT asking for a source, I'm just wondering how I can go about finding one. If that
Makes any sense?

Any replies will be appreciated!

Thanks!

Welcome aboard. Yes it makes sense. Stick around and get to know everyone and perhaps a vet or moderator, if they wish, will help you out.

Thanks man! Would I be right in saying most of the sources would be online?

Befriend the big guys in your gym and, after a while, you can shoehorn the subject into the conversation.

There are lots of scammers online. Though there'll also be some in some gyms too.

Thanks man, so would you not recommend buying anything online? And my best bet would be getting some from
The bigger guys at the gym?

I am new also but have researched this of and on for a good while. It is rural where I live but I feel confident in my ability to spot scammer site's. It's like on the movie "Catch Me If You Can," Leonardo Dicaprio was the actor playing this kid that forged checks. You may have seen the movie so I'll spare you all the boring details. Long story short L.D. inadvertantly became a check expert because he had in fact handled and studied real checks. In doing so he became so familiar with them that the FBI hired him later on to make checks more secure. If you check enough of gear sites out long enough the real and the fake begin to have slight difference's. No min. order's is plus as well as prompt replie's to question's, before ordering and after a small order make sure you get a tracking number. Worse case scenario you lose 30 buks or so. Just my opinion

I agree with STeM. Get to know the big guys. Don't crowd them, easy does it. Get their respect and develop your respect with them. The bigger isn't always the better ones. If they are genuine they will probably share with you where they are buying on line. Remember they also will be testing your seriousness and watching your workout habits. Two guys purchasing from the same source will be a better indication of the truth. good luck !

There are sources online that will deliver what they promise. But for every one that does there are probably 5 that don't. Do you homework. Read reviews. I'm not sure how many would let you just order $30 worth of stuff but you may be lucky. You're gonna have to pay shipping too though remember!

If you're going to buy online start with something cheap and small to test the waters.
