RIPPED OFF

[John c]

Went to my local hydro shop, bought 2 bags of coco (50L bags) and a 50L bag of perlite= $103.50....what the f##k??

 

And the guy is a grumpy prick...(don't do retail if your a grumpy prick)

 

OK, so I could have gone some where else but right now my back is fucked and I just don't have the time, I need to get the ball rolling.

 

This seems outrageous to me.

 

Wont be getting my business ever again.

 

Peace,

 

John

Ummmm you went to shop, you saw prices, you paid.... No point crying now.

 

Prices aint that bad depending on the brand of coco..

If you want to be a cheapskate, shop around. Sounds a perfectly normal price to me.

Yeah, prices sound right for good coco + a bag of perlite.

Just start growing and think of how much bud your investment will return is savings.

With all the online stores/ebay stores you can purchase this kind of thing from, I can't help but think you didn't do the research, went with what was easy/quick (fair enough) and THEN maybe did your comparisons post purchase. 

Shops sell for what shops sell for. 

In this day and age, in not finding a better deal the ownership is really on you here...though the consensus seems to be that you weren't all that overcharged anyway...

[John c]

right, i've obviously been outa the loop a while. Well I guess I'll be shoping around next time, time constrained or not.

 

$20 a bag on ebay but shipping to ya house?? Probably not a good idea??

aye get over it you should do them deliveries jc .......   remmeber your bad back - they  will carry it  for  you.

 

I  found the 'Nutrifield  Coco' ideal - gets delivered by srangers which is ok  unless you live in a mocro-community with one pub.

Nitty,

Where is this shop? 2 bags of coco (50L bags) and a 50L bag of perlite= $103.50

Where is this shop, I paid $60 just for a bag of perlite at Miter10.

Recycling, rinsing with H2O2 then drain then put the container in an air tight container to bake under the sun for a while, dry out completely then store until needed.

I didnt think chucking a buch of really really white stuff around the house every time your done with it is a good idea... from above that will look like a nice white frame around your house. You may as well paint. "Come over for a smoke" on your roof.
