Nah he is talking about the top tier limited release genetics, rare releases and pre releases, Gage packs are in three price groups and the expensive ones are not easy to find and sell out before you find them anyhow. I really do prefer my Gage keepers over my Bodhi keepers. Gage has a HUGE flavor going on. And yields can get insanely heavy. No knocking Bodhi, but I grow both quite a lot.
NOT MANY BREEDERS GIVE BODHI'S PRICE TO QUALITY RATIO though that is for sure. Pure value for money I agree.
But your 'Heirloom' packs from Gage are $100, these are the best tested genetics on the market in many cases we were communities of 5 or 6 people running the same gear talking to each other every day comparing phenos trying to reproduce each others results etc, not my experience testing with anybody else. Gage brings FAMILY to the table it is really cool. And your best deals in cannabis around really are the 'Mixed Genetics' packs at $44, but of course ONLY if you are a pheno hunter like me. And the Afghani Bastards were EPIC. Just wow.
So overall we all agree the pricing is weird, but the fellas do try to cater for each tier of the market which is just plain good business sense and frankly in a highly competitive market like what you have, you need good business sense to survive.
I do however disagree with the idea they over charge because a lot goes into what they do. It is a big team. Well connected. Like brothers.
