I'm into this type of ballast, idc what the led sluts think honestly lol, here's the local stores price for the EXACT same ballast! Do you homework people! http://www.gtghydroponics.com/store/0-0-1601.htm for fucks sake this dude is greedy!
I don't know if calling this guy greedy is fair. You have no idea what his cost is for that ballast compared to Amazon. Yeah, his price is higher than Amazon. That's pretty much all you can say. For all you know, he makes less over his cost than Amazon does.

Seriously, what is this guy to do to in order to compete? Buy 1000 ballasts to get the best price/shipping? Invest $100m in a super efficient logistics and fulfillment system? Fire his staff?

It isn't terribly easy having a garden shop today when your typical customer buys all his shit on Amazon and uses the garden shop for only heavy items (like soil) product advice and trouble shooting.

So buy it from Amazon - but don't expect there to be a local grow shop for long.

I doubt if greed enters into this.

Nutes, soil, trays, pots are always gonna be cheaper at a grow store tho.

I would get my carbon filter at the store too but they don't carry the can filter lite.

No your wrong! i have the sunsystems catalog he orders from, he's greedy. I am glad i have options like amazon so i can save money! You wanna throw your money away go ahead i dont roll like that. I dont buy nutes from stores, i source from compost bins/worm bins true living organics mindset. My containers come from the recycling center in town. I am an evil nasty person though im sure in your eyes because im frugal.

I don't fucking care. We need a butthurt explanation here. What is happening is that the previous user saw my post a few days ago about finding a jar of weed I had forgotten about. He immediately put the touch on me for some. When I ignored it, he persisted. Finally I told him that I could not afford to send him any. He seems to therefore be pissed and taking my reply as a personal matter.

Know what? If anybody is going to get free weed passed onto them, it is going to be somebody I know deserves it - not to somebody online who the only thing I know about is that they do not hesitate to ask me to give them free weed (invoking veteran status as justification). Sorry buddy. If I gave away some of my weed it 1.) wasn't to you and 2.) is none of your motherfucking business!

I didn't have anything against you until today but your attitude in response to me not sending you free weed is fuuuuuuucked up. So are you.

You should have left well enough alone at your first deleted post. Stay outta my PM box.

You are the Amazon of begging. Think of all the needy local people being undercut by your online begging tactics. I salute you. Good luck.

Ignored.

No, but I'd say you have no basic understanding of how retail/wholesale commerce works and what a brick n mortar shop needs to do to stay in business. I buy from the local shop when I want the item now, when I don't want to risk potential shipping damage, when I wish to chat and cuz I'm glad his shop is available. My guy gives a 10-15% discount (sometimes more) to good repeat customers on all purchases; will talk with you as long as needed, will source stuff for me, is quite open to new ideas and products,etc. I've bought fixtures thru Amazon, but I buy replacement stuff thru the shop. It's very nice having them close by
