+ 1 THIS PLACE IS GETTING SCARY

ad

OK----I'll take some heat for this, but hey: I'm used to taking heat and getting my ass reamed so I'll sign up for it since some of the other suppliers won't.
I'll start by asking you a question:::
Imagine you are in the prep room at the hospital awaiting a ctritical brain surgury. You're half sedated, the tubes are in, and there's no turning back. You've said goodbye to all your loved ones (just in case), and you've replaced your wife in the will with your new girlfriend. The nurse walks over to you and tells you it's going to be OK, and your mother wipes away a tear from her eye and tries to muster a smile........ And just about then,a tatooed and pierced-out surgeon barges in through the door and and says..."HEY!!! ZUP HOMIE? DON'T NEED TO WORRY BOUT NUTTIN! I GOTS DIS SHIT COVERED NOOKAS!!. YOU KNOW HOW WE SURGEONS ROLL. I GOTS SOME FIRE ANESTHESIA, SO WE GONNA HAVE A PARTY UP IN DIS BITCH"!!!! He then walks out, flashing a gang-sign before turning his ipod back up to the catchy tune of Slim Shady.

Now....I don't know about you, but that would make me a little nervous. Yet every single day, I see suppliers---guys who actually claim THEY are the ones doing the brewing----talk like this, never showing any more intelligence than a squirrel...telling you they've got your health in the front of their hearts and minds.

Anyway, back to the brain surgury.
Lets say you somehow escape the hospital and strike a deal with the surgeon to just take some strong medicine instead, hoping for a miracle cure. He writes the script, which you take to the pharmacy, and recieve pills in a bottle with a bottle that says "ACME BUILD-A-BODY" with a picture of that big-ass burly boxer from Bugs Bunny,,,only he's sleeved out with tats and surrounded by flames.
Still feel good about your health care?
Stop making choices based on image and start basing your decisions on research and professionalism.

I'm not pointing at any one supplier in particular, and I'm certainly not saying we can't all have some fun. But I think as suppliers, you have to show professionalism as well. You can still have cool labels without getting tacky. But if I were a cop and found you with a bottle of gear with some of this shit on it, I think I'd actually let you go and assume you had fallen for a scam (and laugh at your ass)----so at least you're somewhat safe with some of these products...lol. Let me also say that I used some of the gear that I'm speaking of, and have always liked what I've recieved. But that doesn't mean we can't improve professionalism.

Dis post is gud 2 go my nizzle!
Honestly, I think a guy would be smart to spend a couple of months on Eroids just getting to know people and sources. Asking questions, reading posts,making posts and making friends, before they ever consider ordering.
That's what I did. I learned from previous hastily planned shit cycles that they hurt more than help, so I was patient.
When the time came that I felt ready physically and mentally to start cycling again, I knew who the quality sources were. I knew who I could depend on, and who not to mess with. I spent a lot of time in PM with sources asking questions about their gear, getting to know them and It paid off bigtime. I found sources that I knew delivered, not just quickly but high quality gear. There are some serious kicks ass sources here. There are also shit sources that I wouldn't give piss stained bed sheets to.
It's all about taking time to learn, pick the brains of other eroiders, and picking the brains of the sources.
Right now, I absolutely know who to go to without worring about getting screwed or sick. I think any member who has spent a little time here knows where to go. I think patience is the key.
With out that, you are stuck making decisions based on a pretty label, which in my opinion is str-8 up Dumbass!

There really isn't anything different just MORE of it.... A lot of these guys like the Jerry Springer relatability of some src's. Makes them feel like "friends". It seems to me like everybody wants it to be everything at once. A professional, respectable business transaction with a "real bro" that you can ask for deals and freebies from LOL! As much as some would want this to be like a "regular" business its not. It can't. By nature, virtue and demographic it is what it is... Now me personally, I'm not a fan of the fanfare and circus acts of some but it doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed their gear and there are others who are professional and polite that won't get nickel one from me... Enough exposure to anything and it will take on a veil of normalcy but lest we forget what is really going on around here LOL!

100 agreed. In a way, you almost can't blame the supplier, as he's simply catering to demand.

Unfortunately there is no way we as customers can verify who is making the safest gear. We can only hope the suppliers use proper sterile procedures. If I new who was making the most sterile gear all my business would go to them ever if they were more expensive. Safety has to always come first.

one thing that is for certain with me, if the supplier is always full of excuses about time delays it tells me he cant manage his time well and that includes rushing through making the products. ive got products from sources on here that I actually threw away because of the stuff they said in their review and SI threads.

Roid Noid's picture

you ever try to write a book? probably make some decent money at it. by the way im on my way over to post a review on your products!

7gothic's picture

LOL....I must have missed my calling. I certainly don't want to discredit any supplier who does a good job with quality, safety and sevice, no matter how thier products look or how they present themselves. But as a whole, I think we can all do better.....myself included.

FIYAH is the last thing I want personally. What I want is properly labeled and more importantly PROPERLY DOSED! Product which is safe to run. I chose ya'all for my latest purchase because of previous posts you've made on this very subject. The hopes being that if you talk the talk you also walk the walk. Nice to see you are still talking the talk brother.

PS I would rather have as little info on the label as possible just for legal reasons. This feeling is also from a post by GOTH +1 do you really need more Karma? LOL
