So far the only sucker is you. You've already gotten an order of bad boards.$25 compared to $75+ is not a few dollars more, we know you're not the brightest of thinkers, but dude, simple math...
if it were something more reasonable like, $25 compared to $40 or $50... then yea, I'd likely just spend the "few extra dollars"...
you and reseller sock puppet nc208 deserver each other.. two morons in the same sucker pod.
tell me again how you'd like everyone else to pay for your student loan debt.. moron.
How do you know? I haven't even received the boards yet, dumbass.So far the only sucker is you. You've already gotten an order of bad boards.
What's your time worth, anyway?
You're as ignorant a loudmouth here as you are in politics.
And all the hours you've spent screaming on this thread alone tell everyone watching how little respect you have for the value of time- be it yours or anyone else's.How do you know? I haven't even received the boards yet, dumbass.
Keep talking out your ass dude.
Your logic is on par with your politics. You pay $75 for a board and diodes made in China, but resold in US, I pay $25 for likely the same diodes and definitely a different PCB. And I'm the sucker.
So far so good.Good luck to the bargain hunters- but sometimes you get what you pay for.
Yet here you are debating me about it... and I'm still getting paid... so sad.And all the hours you've spent screaming on this thread alone tell everyone watching how little respect you have for the value of time- be it yours or anyone else's.
Best of luck.
Well shit...$25 compared to $75+ is not a few dollars more, we know you're not the brightest of thinkers, but dude, simple math...

The thing with Chinese suppliers...you can order excess and even if there's some failures you still have more than what you need at a lower price.Please note, to anyone who doesn't have money to burn, I would suggest either accepting the gamble of getting Chinese boards or just bite the bullet and get the HLG boards.
I already have tons of lights and I grow for personal use, pollen chucking and for fun. I also have money to burn, so it's not really a big issue for me.
So please don't take my posts as an argument for only going to chinese suppliers, there is something to be said for resellers if they stand behind their products. It appears the HLG and resellers do. So if that's important to you, go with them.

Though I would agree that businesses do need to recover some of their costs, it is obvious these guys margins are a bit bigger than that.He supports big business when it's selling something he approves of, even robbing customers at a 300% markup.
He tried to tell me a business needs to recoup R&D costs, make a profit, blah blah blah.
I understand the need to recoup costs and make a profit...Though I would agree that businesses do need to recover some of their costs, it is obvious these guys margins are a bit bigger than that.
And yes, ttystikk argues for the sake of arguing. He likes putting words together, but never really understands the meaning behind them.
Ahh, very good point. He does tend to talk from two sides of his face.I understand the need to recoup costs and make a profit...
But I'm not the one simultaneously lecturing people about "greedy capitalists"
They also rag on Chinese suppliers...Ahh, very good point. He does tend to talk from two sides of his face.
Quote where I tried to sell you anything.Well shit...
I only had this conversation with tty recently too.

And he calls Democrats greedy capitalists?
The thing he fails to realize is that I make LED lamps all the time from scratch (gotta have that Wi-Fi controlled RGB or you ain't nerding it properly nowadays, as you're probably well aware), they really aren't that complicated at all and anyone with even hobbyist electronics knowledge knows he's full of shit.
Wow, man. Take your butt hurt back to the politics section. No one cares here.Well shit...

I didn't say you did, I said you're happy enough to be a "greedy capitalist" when it's going into your pocket but simultaneously blame capitalism for all your woes.Quote where I tried to sell you anything.
Take it back to politics, Stinkydigit.I didn't say you did, I said you're happy enough to be a "greedy capitalist" when it's going into your pocket but simultaneously blame capitalism for all your woes.
Good advice, you and nc208 should do the same.Take it back to politics, Stinkydigit.
Your getting really old and repetitive, do you even grow weed? Your butt hurt attitude could sure use some to calm the fuck down.Good advice, you and nc208 should do the same.
