If a source has $5k in equipment you would buy from them vs the source doing it with $250 of home brew equipment.
The more expensive equipment will provide a better quality product on a larger scale. There’s a lot of volume on MESO so if you’re trying to source with cheap equipment eventually your going to be so rushed that you start cutting corners. That’s not good.
There’s been sources that reinvest profits into new lab equipment. There’s also sources that invest their profit in their recreational drug habit.
That latter part is a good point and I am not aware of the sources that did that. As volume increases, your setup has to adapt.
Reinvest as you said.
My comments have been mainly around where I assume this source is right now with volumes and what setup I'd be comfortable with at that level. If he were pharmacom, he better have a house or building dedicated to his setup. I still think the lab equipment for that would be 5-10k max, thanks to eBay; but the setup would be elaborate, consume a lot of space, and the costs of operation (infrastructure) would be over $1000 a month.
