Word got 11 seeds in the hso pack and 14 freebies so ended up with 35 seeds instead of 10. So not a bad outcome in the end.

I agree. My freebies were south fork seeds pink lemonade X chemdawg bc3 and 3 different ihg strains. One I don't think you can get anywhere, but maybe I just haven't seen it. White hulk.

Ya the ihg prices are wayy bloated on sour patch. I get the supply demand concept and if they are 10-15 bucks more, it's acceptable...but at those prices it's straight up price gouging

Pretty much that's why I never tried BOG before they wanted more than I felt like paying at seedbanks but when I found out they would charge $50 a pack direct I bought 4 packs of seeds.

So did they at least give you your money back or seed choices of equal value at least?
That is just kind of shady but you sell seeds inside the USA you're going to be looking at the least 5 years like Marc Emery cause this ain't even a grey market. But a black market seed salesmen shouldn't fuck around I get seeds cheaper overseas most of the time and I ain't going through a company who might take my money I don't even buy lottery tickets.

I set my prices based on what the breeder asks me to set prices at. It always makes me wonder why or how some of these other banks are able to sell their gear at half the price they are supossed to be listed at. It would seem fishy that people can offer packs at cost to customers and still stay in business but maybe they do that on certain breeders to bring in more business for other breeders gear.
As for the strains I have that no one else has. I have a personal relationship with many of the breeders I work with and they trust me with their prized gear and limited edition stuff that they don't trust other banks to have.
My prices on many strains are better than many other banks. Keep an eye out as I'm about to drop some sick shit from Obsoul33t

I know that is not true because I've been directly in touch with ihg...
Ihg sets the same prices for every distributor and all the other ones are sticking to a similar price range.
So either you're not telling the truth or he isn't but bringing that up wasn't the point of my post.
Just stated I was going to buy beans from your site except for the fact that they're twice as expensive as anywhere else for the strain I was looking for.

My shop is the most trusted bank by breeders. I respect the breeders wishes and offer their gear at prices agreed upon by myself and the breeder

That's is true Cuz I know in house genetics. That pricing was set before any of these other banks even had these strains brother. I was the first Bank to carry any of these and the price was set then. NGR or the dank team picked him up months later and offered theme up at 75 immediately but they do sell em quick like that at such a discount. Go ahead and tag in house genetics and he can verify that this was the case. I have no need to lie brother. I carry over 50 breeders and move more packs than any other usa bank. If I wasn't trusted by breeders why would I have all kinds that no one else does? Why do I carry the top breeders in the usa and ones that are not working with any other banks? Food for thought bro

Hey got the pack he had originally wanted and purchased. If you read the whole overblown post it was stated somewhere deep into the thread by velvet elvis.So did they at least give you your money back or seed choices of equal value at least?

They were only 3 packs available listed at 150. If they are less now from another bank on the new release that's awesome. Now that there are more avaliable more people can scoop a pack.

Ok well when I get home I can post the convo between him and me about specifically your prices.
Again, not the point of my post. But he's seems genuinely as confused about your prices as everyone else in reference to his gear.
To summarize. I asked him where I could find a strain in stock, he pointed me your way, i see your prices are over 100% increase from anywhere else on the strain I wanted, I ask him what the deal is, and he says he doesn't know but his prices are the same for everyone and he's noticed that that is what's going down with your bank. He says you have said to him that you think his gear is worth more so you charge more for his gear. Which makes sense except you don't kick him down anything for it.
As I've stated I have the entire convo and can post it, but wasn't really trying to put you on blast. Your response just isn't that great. If you're going to charge more for whatever you want, that's your prerogative, it's your business, but don't try to put that on the breeder. That's fucked up.

Watch and see how many of these other banks are still listed as vendors for these breeders over the next few months.
A couple banks sell packs that have been sold out for months at a super discount Cuz they are fake as well brother. The seed game is a shady marketplace full of dishonest cats out to make a quick buck. I am not that way. I keep it all on the table but I do hear all the stories from breeders about seed swapping banks and horror stories from customers who got fake freebies or fake packs from many different banks. My shit is all legit

Now you're just making stuff up. I know the owner of another bank that has their gear up and they're on pretty good terms from what I understand.

When I was the first Bank to carry his gear the prices were set at these prices but after he hit some hard times and my paypal was locked up with 20k in it and I didn't have any scratch to pay him he had to sell his gear to another bank NGR at a discount to help him with his current financial sutation. NGR was told to keep his pricing at at 5 to 10 difference from mine. What he did was offer them up at half the rate. Then they didn't sell at that price. Ask him about that next time you speak. That is how it all went down exactly.

I have been carrying in house since the beginning of 2015 and things have changed since NGR became a vendor. If you don't believe me about that whole chain of events feel free to ask the breeder for in house genetics. I never offer up any stock for more than the breeders asks me to.
I have no reason to lie brother. His company is 1 of many I work with and know personally. I'm not just some seed salesman. I am a long standing member of this community and my goal is to ensure customers are getting what they pay for and are expecting. I go above and beyond for my customers as many of them can vouch for. If I did dirty tactics don't you think more people would be talking about me in a negative light. NGR dropped those at the 50% price to fuck with me personally and it worked. I wasn't going to drop the prices because he did that, I made an agreement with the breeder and I am a man of my word. If in house tells you anything different I will be very disappointed in him and his character but I am sure he will tell you that what I just said is true. He and I had made you conversations about this issue when it first came up because of how it made me appear to be greedy but I was not gonna buckle and disrespectful the hard work of in house and the prices I felt and still feel he deserves for the fire he puts out. It's crazy that everyone wants discount seeds when there is such a huge profits potential with seeds. If you pop a pack a d find one keeper that's unique and do 1k light and get 2 lbs + per light and can get more per lb due to quality and rarity is that not worth more than $50 or $75 per pack from a trusted and talented breeder that puts thousands of dollars into the research and production of his seed lines? NGR also has loompa gear for sale at retail for less than loompa sells them for wholesale, how does that work?
