Great question!
Well there are a multitude of reasons and I will list them for you. First of all let's tackle your comment at first.
The reasoning that "I'm not poor, therefore I should pay more" is based upon fear and not knowing how simple it is to brew by yourself. Do you pay extra taxes because "you aren't poor?" I wouldn't think so... If you can MAKE money instead of SPENDING money, why not? Let's start digging into those reasons:
1. Safety from Law Enforcement.
Your dealer doesn't care about your anonymity. This is evidently clear by NN saving all your emails and personal information. This should have been a HUGE RED FLAG for you guys... Do you need a refresher about what happened to Napsgear? He saved everybody's info just like NN is doing and then when he got raided that sensitive information got leaked to Law Enforcement.
I am so surprised that you guys are even buying from an open source like this?? Anybody can come on here and you bet your butt that Law Enforcement comes to this forum to see what is going on. And it is big dealer that advertise freely over the internet that get busted. I would say that ordering from China every 2 years or so and brewing your own gear is the most safe way to stay under the radar. Constantly getting packages from a Source that saves data like NN isn't in your best interest.
2. Control over what is in your Gear.
This is another huge point. You can say that any source has lab reports proving this and that. However, in reality, you have no clue what is in YOUR vial that you get from the source. And it does happen that sources mismanage their raw powders and swap out the compounds. I am not saying it is common practice, however it does happen. Nobody's planning is perfect.
If you brew your own gear, you will have control over what is what. You are the one that ensures your own safety with the gear's sanitation, the compound in the gear, and the quantity of the compound.
3. Cost of brewing vs cost of buying.
I am not 100% up to date on the exact prices but these are ball park figures.
Testosterone costs about $2/gram. There is 2.5 grams in a vial of 250mg/ml concentration. That is about $5 for the raw cost, BB and BA is dirt cheap and you can use any cheap carrier oil. So paying $5 versus a finished vial of $30 seems crazy no?
Deca costs about $4/gram, tren and masteron is $7.
So one vial of tren acetate's cost from homebrewing is about $9. I would think sources sell Tren Ace for about $70. Nine dollars compared to $70 seems pretty steep...
4. Money
I know you say that you are not poor, which is fine. I am not saying you need to be poor to brew your own gear. It is the smart thing to do. Let's say for arguments sake that you use $2,000 worth of gear in a year. In a five year period that is still $10,000.
A great point is that you can use your own gear to sell to your friends and their buddy's. If each person uses $2,000 worth of product, and you have 5 friends that you sell to and they have 2 friends they sell to. That's 15 people in total. Trust me, you can get way more than 15 people to sell to if you want. However I wouldn't recommend opening your own full on lab because then you are going to have a higher risk of being targeted by LE. Keep it "small." And when I say small 15 people is small however that is $30,000/year extra you could be making.
5. MONEY
Here is a visual representation of what you could be making PER YEAR if you stopped buying from sources that will get you busted and brewed on your own.

Anyway, I am not going to clog up this thread. I was just surprised that so many people are still buying from sources that saves customer info especially after what happened to NAPS.
