I am here mostly because I am interested in life extension. I read your thread because is relates to Dihexa, which is something I recently purchased from a group buy (xks one). I am in the process of evaluating Dihexa and was keen to have the oportunity to buy more if my evaluation of Dihexa is positive.
The previous group buy was somewhat unsettling and looking like it might not work out. I think the wait was about 8 months and it looked at one stage like XKS was not going to deliver at all. From the beginning, there were certain characteristics about his buy that were of concern but I threw in my money and took the risk. That is the point, it was a risk but there was no alternative - either go without Dihexa and hope it becomes available later or pay up and hope for the best.
There are now 2 options, go with your group buy or buy from Nyles. The price is pretty close so that is not an issue. It then comes down to trust and how soon it is likely to be delivered. Group buys generally take a bit longer but given your assurances, not significantly. Nyles has said 2 weeks but who knows. Nyles is certainly well known (and trusted) and was the purchaser of the original group buy so would likely have access to the real stuff. I think you've indicated that the stuff you buy will be tested.
The main difference for me is that I see a lot of the agressive and defensive behaviours I saw from XKS with people who question things being accused of Trolling and just a general feeling of 'I don't feel comfortable asking questions in case I am shot down'. I don't support the real 'Trolls' but they are generally quite obvious and mostly ignored and were far more prevalent in the XKS buy - especially in the later stages. I do however think that caution is very important and there is no harm in questioning not just the method but also the integrity and suitability of the organisers. XKS proved that ignoring those factors can make for a really unpleasant experience later on.
I am quite concerned that this and all group buys go off without incident. Any failures will affect the likelyhood of future group buys. I would like to see group buys continue to happen. I am curious as to why you would proceed with a group buy when you know the same thing is available from a reliable source for a similar price. Perhaps you just have so much time invested in this that you are loath to stop it. I certainly hope that is all that it is. Perhaps you feel that you will get a better product or perhaps you have concerns about Nyles.
Personally I would have liked to see you refocus your efforts on any of a number of other potential chemicals but that is up to you. I wish you and all the participants here the best of luck with the buy and I hope like hell that you are legit and deliver. I will continue my evaluation for now and if I choose to replenish my supply, I think I will go with the Nyles option since I have used his services for other producs and my existing supply comes ultimately via him. I will however continue to monitor this thread and comment any time I feel the desire to since this is an open forum.
Not to be rude, but given that Nyles is selling this stuff (with a claimed 2 weeks until availability) for just $5 more per gram than the group buy here, is it really worth it? Not trying to kill this, just seems like all that effort could be focused elsewhere?
Then surely with your extensive experience here, you understand that we understand - what exactly we are here for - and what we intend to do is clearly outlined in the basis of this thread. I'm curious as to why you come here and tilt off the thread -
people who come to this thread do so in order to...
1.) Either find out about opportunities.
2.) Because they were dissatisfied with the last group buy.
3.) Or because they are simply looking for Dihexa from someone who has a reputation that extends past longecity.
{ By all means I am not stating I am above longecity, just that my work and presence is known elsewhere where it is equally appreciated}
