+ 6 Crazy Prices..
Anyone understand why the biggest source names are charging absolutely ridiculous amounts for glp-1 like reta and tirzepatide semaglutide etc. and smaller less known but still credible sources can sell the same thing for 1/4 the price. Like there's a big name source here And they are charging $100 to $150 for a single vial of 10 mg reta which if you're at a high enough dose that's only one week. Whereas the other source I can get 10 vials of 10 mg for $275 or 10 vials of 20 mg for $350. While the bigger sources charging upwards of $200 for a single vial of 20 mg. I just feel like it's price gouging just because they are the "in" thing. Both are international and domestic sources. Can anyone shed light on that besides the obvious? I'm sure they are both coming from the big international country that most of the stuff comes from but you can't tell me that bigger name company is paying more for raws than the smaller company is.. I find it ridiculous for that $400 I can only get two or three vials on the bigger source. Totally seems like a rip off to me.

Well I mean obviously I go where the quality is good and is cheapest. I just wanted to know if anyone could come up with a legitimate reason as to why that is? I mean there's obvious reasons but being a bigger source you'd think they could have cheaper prices and sell 10x the quantity. I don't know just from a business and sales standpoint it doesn't really make sense to me.
I can get 1x Kit (10) vials of Reta 15mg $130, shipping $30. COA, Discord group.
It pays off to do some research, thats my answer. Make an informed decision and shop.
Jrihard89I thought I was getting a good deal?!?! Holy shit
Simple. Cause they can. They prey on the uninformed.
There isn't anything wrong with what they do. It's a capitalist business model in a capitalist land (I'm referring to the prices not the underfilled vials and under-dosed gear. That is a whole different conversation)
they are doing a great job of marking things up 100x and maintaining a ravenous fan base. A fan base of dummies.
You're not wrong at all.. it's just wild to me.
I cringe everytime I see anything peptide related on here honestly, IMO there are fantastic “grey” sources that probably test more than these guys do and you’re getting it at 1/10 the price. I pay $300 for domestic 600mg of reta it pains me to see what some people are paying for a label to be slapped on it.
However then I look at it from the other perspective, I could go buy a bottle E300 for $12 from UGL but not a chance I’m risking whatever’s in there. Just depends on risk tolerance and how well you can source.
Ok that’s a crazy deal I’ve never seen that much Reta for that price anywhere
Okay to be fair that was a R50 pricing but the kit tested at 59mg with the 4% overfill.
Solid either way. I'm averaging $0.88/mg for 1200mg stacked last year. I have run reta for 6 months, titrated up to 12mg /w and lost over 50lb. I'm going to start titrating down next week. I think I have run through under 400mg and should be set until 2027.
Good stuff! I'm down 120+ on the year, about 60 of that was on reta. Was my first intro into this realm. Ive been cruising at 8mg ive tried 10/12mg but the heart racing was too much for me had to go back down.
Dkoon211Its the lazy way of doing things. I have personally sent in several samples of Chinese suppliers stuff, and now I have a good supplier for pennies on the dollar. People just want the easy way. The test are a Lil pricey. But if you land a good supplier it pays for itself.
Yea they charge that much because dumbasses pay that price instead of searching around for 5 seconds to find decent prices
Yeah dude this blows my mind.. I couldn’t imagine paying what these top sources are charging for Reta. They already have the customer base and the advertising from eroids and they could care less if it’s bought from them or not. Because even if no one buys “their” Reta. They have a huge customer base and will make the money from gear anyways. So they charge what they want and people pay it.
That's the thing thiugh too is they don't even sell their own brands they sell the same shit ultima, nakon, pharmaqo, beligas etc for 3-4 times what other places do. It's insane. But this small source I have had the best quality testing procedures in place, tests EVERY batch, and sells it for 1/8th of the price as this big name top rated source. It's cool cause they do things like promos, but if a 400$ promo only gets me 2-3 vials of 10mg reta and if you're at 6-8mg a week thats 4-600$ a month and that's ridiculous. You could almost buy it from the actual pharmacy for that price with goodrx coupons. Or one of these monthly subscription places. It's wild. I don't even see how they are competing in the market with prices like that.
Ranger3252That’s why capitalism is king and always will be. As long as people continue to pay those prices why not charge as much as you possibly can? Look at Old Navy and compare that to Gucci. Corporate Profit Maximization, demand and Behavioral Factors play a crucial role in creating maximization of profit margins. If people stop paying the price will probably decrease, however that will never happen because it’s just human nature. Deal with it.
I guess you're totally right. I just wanna I guess wish that some of these sources care enough about customers and what they provide to sell it reasonably and still make a shitload of money and be happy. But the greediness has far outweighed being a decent person and wanting a good name for your business.
There are more costs for these guys doing COAs and such but it’s mostly just to get a great profit. People will keep paying it, especially for Reta. A lot of people also just don’t know how to find manufacturers or are too lazy. Convenient to use the same source for your test and Reta and you can stack up those cash back points
Bc it’s a biz, they’ll get what people will pay.
Yeah I mean obviously that's what I said besides the obvious I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas and yes that is the most obvious conclusion. Just greed.
Ranger3252Bingo was his nameO
Jrihard89Yup! Little research and you can save but that’s the freedom here. It can be whatever people want!
Personally my feta is off this page and I pay $195 for 10 vials of 6mg, but that’s my freedom of the market to pick who I buy from.
I agree with ya
That’s high but if you want to get it from where you got it that’s up to you
Jrihard89Oh I meant my Reta isn’t on Eroids. $195 ain’t too bad for 10 vials of 6mg each. Low dose will last me a long time.
It's pretty disgusting. I'll see a $1K+ Reta TD on here and involuntary face palm. 6 months ago I saw it as, esp GLPs & Growth, 1000x Pharma, 100-150x Compounded, 10x US sourced Grey Market, 1x Direct from overseas manufacturers. Prices have come down a bit in grey market and up a bit in direct. Pharma pricing is going down with TrumpRX while the Hims of compounded get fucked.
I just want my gear unscheduled and kits arriving unmolesteted.
Good luck buddy
McDonald’s and your local steakhouse both have cheeseburgers on the menu, are they the same?
That doesn't make any sense lol All of this shit comes from China It's all the same quality. I know that these two sources are both international and the smaller source actually does more testing and more in-depth testing and quality testing than the bigger source does. And they charge a fifth of the price. So other than just straight up greed I can't come to any conclusion as to why they would be charging so much more.
I could be wrong, but what you’re saying is there’s only one manufacturer of this particular product? Then it goes to different distributors and labs? Or is there more than one manufacturer and the quality and purity varies? I mean China is a pretty big country. Are you saying there’s only one manufacturer of raw testosterone? I’m definitely confused here…
No I'm just saying it all comes from China, all the raws to make the stuff comes from china. Most international distributors are in china. So for them to be competitive selling raws to their people im sure it's all priced similar depending on how much they buy. There's tons of suppliers of raws in china but they have a market there for it to make stuff to sell us. And im sure the more you buy in raws the cheaper the price. And the raws are much cheaper than what they charge, it's just that if a smaller company can afford to sell stuff that cheap so can the bigger places. They just don't because they are greedy and people go with one source they have gotten from and trust and will now pay whatever the price is. Which keeps prices high. I just wish they would care a little more about their customers they would still make millions and have much more loyal customers and a lot more if they became more competitive with their pricing. That's basically what I am getting at. There's tons of suppliers of different things. I'm guessing a lot of them use the same one because every place I see has said that they're new testosterone E is dark because The new raws are dark. Well the odds of all of these companies saying that means they're probably all getting their raws from the same place at least for that. Because there's no way that all of a sudden it's going to be darker in different colored and every raw in the world or in that whole country is the dark one.
Jrihard89Well Reta has never been made medically yet so it’s kinda the same.
But that’s capitalism!
My Reta source isn’t even on here and I pay $195 for 10 6mg vials. Shits awesome
That’s not bad.
Not bad, but not that good either. I just paid $220 for 10x30mg vials, US warehouse. Direct from China goes even cheaper but you run the customs gauntlet.
Terrible analogy - the Reta being sold by sources on here is exactly the same as the stuff you can get yourself directly from China. Because that's where they're getting it from.
The markups are absurd but ultimately the market dictates the price. If people are dumb enough to keep paying it, eroids sources will keep selling it.
The difference is none of these guys are producing it, all comes from Chinese manufacturers.
That's what I'm saying. All of this shit comes from China all of these companies most of the ones we order from are located in China. So I'm just saying like there's no way those big companies who are 10 times the size of the smaller ones are paying more for their RAW products then the smaller companies. And so I just wasn't understanding aside from it just being straight up greed why they would be charging so much more.
Um.....so go there....duh!
Obviously lol.. took a rocket scientist to figure that out. It even says that obviously I go to the cheaper source, but was just wondering why a bigger business would be charging 4 times the price as a smaller business. And if there's any other legit reason besides greed.
Get you some popcorn...,the answer is in you. Nice way of saying is shop where your heart desires to get the best bang for the buck.
No for sure and I do. Obviously I go where it's cheaper if the quality is as good. I was just wondering if anybody had any ideas to why they charge so much more when they are a bigger company. And if there was any other legitimate reason other than just greed.
