Amazon and eBay

[Jeep187]

Interested in Meso members opinion on buying brewing supplies from eBay or Amazon? I know most things are are legal to buy and have in your possession. I know that some companies sell things fully knowing what people are using them for. Has anyone ever heard of a fake company being set up on Amazon or eBay by LE?

I personally don't think LE would waste their time/resources/money trying to catch people buying products that can be used for harmless purposes. The way I see it is that they probably work two angles. One, they pull over a car with a couple vials in it and turn it over to the Narcs who will work it up to the distributor/UGL through flipping people or catch a leaky/open package in the mail and do a controlled delivery. The second is on the DEA level where they are working on international rings and chemical distributors. This is just an educated guess based on the type of busts that we see in the news but it makes sense to me that they aren't wasting their time at the national level trying to bust a UGL/homebrewer through legal products.

You should be able to get all you need between these two places-

Medical Supplies, Lab Supplies

GPZ Med Lab - Your Online Source for Medical and Laboratory Supplies

But, I agree with MK. Places have sold bongs for "tobacco" usage for ages... They wont waste their time IMO. If it makes you more comfortable, go with the two time tested sources above.

Yeah GPZ is my go to. But every now and again I run something on Amazon or eBay. I've just always been a little skeptical

I've been using GPZ for years. Being close by, I always get supplies in 2 days.
I;ve done Amazon for other stuff as well.
I don't think anyone is looking at small purchases.

there are a lot of companies selling lab supplies just use google.

possibly there are a lot undercover agents working on sting operation trying to sell steroids. I have seen postings of somebody offering to sell large quantities of dbol with real address and phone number, it was idiot or undercover operation.

some lab stuff is watched, pill presses for instance.
for making oils, the procedure is so simple, the lab equiptment involved so basic. nothing really to sweat about. Now if we were talking meth or its derivatives, some shit like 3 neck beakers, thats watched.
if you want a really nice set up, I would take the time and effort to order under different accounts to different houses, so you wouldnt leave a paper trail of kinda sophisticated labware back to your house. dont shit where you sleep.
right off the bat, Id want a corning hot plate stirrer . love them things

I think you'll be fine non amazon, I'm pretty sure they are on top of things being sold and don't do any illegal items. EBay on the other hand I don't know much about, I bought a phone from then recently but that's about it.

this is true my company had once pill presses, we had police visiting every few months about some sale we did a few months ago etc. I guess some lab was busted and they came looking for some information about the pill press.

we simply stopped selling it.

Oh yes, even stolen items are pushed on ebay...
