I think I know more about gear than my source..

[NotSmall]

Damn this thread is outta control...Why not just sole the issue and start to be your own source? I can't understand why people like to pay A TON more for finished gear when you can just as easily put in a bit of time and do some research, then take the dive into kitchen chemistry. Boom, issue solved. As long as you take the proper precautions to make sure your powders are legit then you don't have issues with knowing what's what. And if you mislabel things, then it's your fault and you shouldn't be sourcing to yourself.

Couldn't agree more!

I created a monster here and that was not my intention. I no longer use this source...I just think it is funny that he is moving stuff for people and does not seem to know basic stuff...my new source is MUCH more knowledgeable about things and can get more stuff for a WAY better price....

well i can see quite a few reasons to go through a source.
But the main one that jumps out at me is the one that makes me picture myself in court with 10 people looking at pictures of lab gear an powders and thinking im a ****ing drug dealer and putting me away for 25 years. I dunno though call me crazy.

Hey tranzit YOU'RE CRAZY!

Sorry couldn't resist that!

Sometimes I forget it's different over there, over here it's legal here so long as it's just for personel use and I only ever make it for myself so it's all good baby!

i definitely know more than my source - i think he drinks winny

not to say that all sources don't know what they are talking about, but i would never take AS advice from a source. they are salesmen, and that's how i see it.

my experience is that many sources (especially the local gym know-it-alls) know how to use info to make a sale, or to get you to try a more exotic (and thus, profitable) product.

JMHO. i take responsibility for the things i choose to put in my body.

I agree, but there is a huge difference in the "salesman" trying to talk you into buying more, and the idiot that doesn't even know what pct is. that was my point. if he doesn't even know what nolva is cuz he hasn't bothered to research what he sells, then why would he know how to handle it or store it or anything else that is realivant?

very true...but who thinks of pct products as a big money maker? good sources will stock them in order to be a sort of "one stop shop" for all you AAS and related needs, lol...but many guys can get by selling this stuff without people even asking about PCT. and many of them aren't there looking out for people...so they won't bring it up, even if they do know about it.

...and on that note, my old source did know what nolva was but told me clearly that it was not required at all unless you start noticing gyno...but you won't. I tried to ask him for it and his response was that it was not something I should waste my money on and that it was not important. I think he thought he was mentoring me or something. That said...I think it is common for a buyer to know more than the seller in many daily transactions...for example; a sales guy at a Honda dealership knows what models he sells and how much they are...he may know features...but I bet he cannot explain indepth how a v-tec engine works. In fact, if he tried to explain it to someone who knows how it works...he might lose credibility...but it does not mean you should not buy the car if the price is right...

in your original post you said he did not know what nolva was, that's why i brought it up. as far as the v tech eng...that's a bit silly. i wouldn't say your source needs to know chemistry, just a good general knowlege.
i once had a pontiac dealer (years ago) tell me that the fiero was the safest car on the road...didn't buy there and never went back.
