Just because I am curious..

Assuming that both highly reputable vendors offer the same product at the same quality and shipping speed is the same, what makes you decide to go with the vendor that has higher prices?

I see it quite a bit around here, people asking about "x" product from whichever vendor, when another just as reputable vendor has the same product for 10%, maybe even 20% cheaper. I'm not trying to knock down any vendors or any customers from any vendors so I will not call out any names, I'm just tripping and my curiousity got the best of me.

Well, I can say I've done this in the past. My go-to was TSG and his norco prices were generally higher than the competition. I went with him mainly b/c he had a stable supply, I had used him in the past and he was fast with the ship. For me, consistency in service trumps price, as I am an opioid user. Of course, your comparison is essentially saying that they are equal in shipping speed and quality. So I guess assuming those conditions, there'd be 2 reasons why I went w/ TSG than another vendor:

But generally speaking, I don't necessarily go with the cheapest. I go with the most well-regarded. Counterfeits have been an issue lately and I need to ensure that the vendor I use is legit and does his best to avoid counterfeits. But of course, in a true commodity environment, the cheapest price always wins. For me, its being known for not stocking fakes as well as having a consistent supply. Consistent supply is the most critical aspect for me. If a vendor doesn't restock often enough, I probably won't bother even at cheaper prices. Withdrawals are not only fucking painful but they are expensive. When I am experiencing w/d's, I can't work, I can't do anything. So that's expensive for me to run out. So the price differential for a consistent supply is worth its weight in Norco. I'd much rather have a go-to vendor with a backup than place orders all over the place. There may be an opsec component to it as well - figure the less vendors I order from, the less risk I may have - but of course the risk differential is neglible so its mostly psychological I suppose. So the way I order is have a main vendor I try to place most of my orders through and I keep a back up that I order from maybe once a month just to keep them tested. So I tend to always have 2 vendors on deck. When TSG exit scammed, I did have a backup vendor and I went out and tried another vendor so I could still have 2 on deck.
