Same boat here. Now, I dont even bother looking at other vendors. There are new vendors making a name for themselves, and if you get them at the right time you win with low price and good gear. BUT it's a lot of work and risk playing it this way to save a few bucks. Not worth it as they will eventually switch gear on you.There are good vendors for the long haul here and then bad vendors for the overnight rich schemes. The new vendors seem to always have different gear and quality with each order. WTF?! And mistakes too. Seems every time I try a new vendor out getting sucked in by the price and pretty picture, I get fucked. Now, I shut off pictures in settings and don't even bother with them. They are all old and don't even resemble the recent products anyhow. I'm so confident with my favorite vendors that I could order blindly and always know ill get the exact same gear each time. That consistency is worth everything to me. I'm not a Guinnea pig. Paying more for a good vendor is worth every penny. I think the site is stup to encourage shopping around and it motivates people to try out different vendors which is nice. But really, there are a lot of new vendors popping up and lots of ametuer business going on. Teenagers running a store. I don't want anyone learning off of my dollar and using my address as a fucking little business experiment. This kind of business requires a certain mature person who understands secret business. This can be quite serious stuff. A fucking typo or some teenager with the smell of pot on his hands drops off my package in the mail bin, and I'm the only one who will pay for HIS mistake. Think about it. We put a lot of trust in vendors with our addresses. They hold the power to have us investigated. We can only hope they don't slip up on their routine. For that , I'll stick to my vendors who I can really trust. Would you trust your vendor?
