i just recived 34 seeds 5 different strains for free from someone on this site who i will leave nameless, why would some one charge for seeds when you can get so many for free when you grow, every one should share, seeds and clipings
Yeah nice sentiment - count yourself fortunate someone was kind enough to share seeds with you - the vast majority of people aren't so fortunate as you are and have to purchase the seeds they want to grow. I'd like an original cheese clone cutting to grow out, but so far I've not come across anyone willing to share, so until that happens I continue to buy my seeds.
Personally, I don't understand why this subject is still rumbling on, it was done and dusted as far as I could see, yet some won't let it rest it seems.
NGT was stupid in the sense that he was willing to help people and for that he gets villified and treated as a social outcast. People have 'supposedly' complained about the prices he was charging when all he was doing was covering his costs and taking all the risks at a time when Nirvana were having problems getting seed packages through US Customs.
I don't remember NGT holding a gun to someones head and forcing them to buy his seeds, he gave them the price and left the decison up to them - it shouldnt be up for discussion what price he charged for the seeds , neither should that price be compared to the 'shop price' either. People were left free to choose whether to purchase his seeds or not, it really is as simple as there.
You don't go to home depot and start negotiating over the price - you either pay it or you decide it's too much and go elsewhere - why is this any different?
I recall a very brief discussion I had with NGT about this a while ago (the thread is on here, I just cant be assed to look for it) and I told NGT in no uncertain terms not to get involved with this - for the simple reason that in the eyes of the US judicial system, people sending seeds or any other illegal substance into the US is equally culpable as the person receiving it. Read the Marc Emory extradition procedures going on right now for a very good example of this - Marc Emory used to send seeds into the USA from Canada, now they want him extradited to the US to face those charges.
He took the risks to help people out who were having problems buying seeds, yet now all people can do is bitch about the prices he was charging.
NGT, next time, let them find their own sources of seeds.
goin to pay for shipin to the uk as well ?
