I'm with you. The point of my post was for newer members to see, and understand, the risks involved with a private source. I've received total garbage, and great gear, from both private and public sources. Only difference is private is more expensive and discourages open testing/reviews.... Just my experience. I'm not going to lie to you and say I haven't used private sources, and don't from time to time. But, I'm cautious and really get to know the source and the members that're quick to promote them, that's all.
