I'm going to epoxy from fish hooks to the free vial of test C I got for "all my troubles".
See if I can catch some fish....
If I'm going to catch anything from it it should be something worthwhile!!

Just stating my own experience. Delivery happened and was quick, tren ace worked but seemed underdosed somewhat to me from previous experience and I hadn’t ran tren in a while. After all the hubbub I decided to run just bcg gear and see what happened. 500mgs/week Test e, mast e and tren E at 400mgs/week. My go too growth and lean out stack. In 4 weeks I’ve lost around 9 lbs. Running the same cycle with PL (god rest um) last year I put on 13 pounds in the first 5 weeks and maintained as I leaned out. So I’m pretty sure from body composition and strength results, the ace was weak but legit, and the rest of it was straight GSO. Chucked the rest in the garbage.

SCAMMER ** Blue Collar Godz **
Once you’ve been around for a while, you have to acknowledge that there is a pattern that repeatedly occurs with a certain percentage of suppliers.
They appear, start strong with a nice list and low prices. They toss a few freebies around to generate some traffic and produce a few positive reviews and get some good labs. If they are smart or lucky they recruit a popular member to rep for them and drive traffic to their brand.
Thus begins the Golden Age for that supplier. Very quickly it seems like this one supplier is taking up half the traffic on the board. Anybody who is price-conscious (or cheap, or on a fixed income, etc.) is taking advantage of their awesome sales, the Rep(s) are running sweet contests and all is right with the world. This is the moment when you are fairly safe to try to catch the wave. You wanna pick up a two-year supply of Test C for your cruises for $350? Go for it.
But eventually something changes. We don’t have access to their personal information so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is or when it is, but the signs are there.
Too good to be true sales. The supplier decides to “take a break”. Some decide to “go private”. One or two mediocre reviews start to pop up.
But eventually the wave is going to crash, and you don’t know what’s down there until it’s too late, whether it’s sand or rocks.
If we are all lucky the supplier will stop taking new orders, fill all the existing orders and disappear. Then we are left with the mythology of an amazing source that went dark.
The bad ones start shipping plain oil at 50% off, or they brew up whatever raws they have left and label it as whatever will sell and ship you a bunch of mystery vials. Some bad ones will run a sweet promo, take as much money as they can carry and vanish before the rumor mill can get cranked up.
Then we all talk about it for three months, or until the next unicorn appears, whichever comes first.
Meanwhile, there are a handful of solid sources, who have been in the game for years, who aren’t fighting to be the cheapest source on the board, who aren’t running sales that don’t make sense who just keep chugging along, doing good work, producing good gear and consistently making people happy.
Personally, I think at some point you have to stop looking for the best cheap source and just go with the best source(s), period.
Or you can play the ride the wave game. Just do the math on how many times you crash and what the actual cost of that $25 bottle of Test C ends up being.

Just because a guy can Brew or has Capital doesn't mean he can run a business.
Although thats not what happend here.
Sales, reps,branding, nothing wrong with staying competitive in 2019. Only a true businessman can pull this off effectively.
This isn't Wal-Mart, Pepsi, Byer, it's black market.
All we can do is follow our instinct and use our best judgment.

This pattern is seen on other boards as well and certainly never ends well. Someone told me a source is only as good as their last batch and that seems to be quite true.

And now you guys know why I had to stop repping BCG. Something just did not seem right about the guy I hate to say it. I’m just not about trying to tear somebody down before they succeed. I thought he might figure it out but I guess not.. I honestly hope things pan out for him and he makes things right with every one
