I have just posted this on reddit r/nootropics. Hope you would be interested in it. 

 

 http://www.reddit.co...th_50_discount/

 

As the title of this post suggests I have made up my mind and decided to test the waters of the nootropic realm to my own surprise.

 

Here is the post from the previous week, when someone posted a link to AwakeBrain, who was offering original Russian nootropics: http://www.reddit.co..._nacetyl_semax/ In the comment section I said that the prices are ridiculous and that I want to try to do something about it, despite the fact that I currently live in London. (I am originally from Russia)

 

The prices for Semax, Selank and some other drugs are approximately 300% higher in UK and US than in a typical pharmacy in Moscow. The prices for Noopept, Phenylpiracetam, Phenibut and a number of other things are at least 200% higher! A great number of other products are hard or even not possible to find.

So, I discussed this idea with my good friend from Russia, who agreed that this situation is ridiculous and that we should try to do something about it. But before investing much time and effort we want to gauge demand for this staff and also confirm our beliefs that it is totally feasible in terms of customs and logistics. That is why I decided to test the waters and make this one-time offer to the community.

 

How it will work.

 

You drop me a line either on Reddit, or per Email with the list of products that you would like to buy. I am very open to negotiation both in terms of buying other not listed here products, different sizes/dosages and quantity discounts. For instance, if you wish to purchase some other staff from Russia, e.g. Shilajit it is no problem just let me know. You will have to make your final choice before 12th of May because on this day I will ask my friend to buy the drugs and to send them to me to London.

 

Once I have received the products, I will take pictures of each one’s order and send them to each one of you as a proof that I have it. In such way you will know that your orders are safe in London and that all if any customs problems on the way from Russia to UK have been solved. After you receive the photo from me you will have to transfer through PayPaul the agreed before amount.

 

As soon as I get the payment I will send you the already prepared packages through Royal Mail or through any other company if you live in the US and are eager to pay more for the delivery. I used Royal Mail services before to both Europe and US and it has never been a problem but, as I said, I am open to using any other logistics company if you want.

 

As for the delivery it will be on me if you order more than 200 USD and live in UK or Europe. If you live in the US you will need to pay for the delivery. Also, if you happen to live in London, there will be no need for the delivery as we will simply meet and I will hand you the products.

 

What you get from this:

 

A feeling of helping a fellow nootropic geek foster the competition between nootropic vendors. If successful, at least twice decreasing the prices for all Nootropics coming from Russia. Getting official quality products for decent prices: you will not need to spend time with measuring dosages and worry that the product is fake. Convincing me that there is enough demand to open up an online shop and give it a go, which will likely slash the prices.

 

What you need to do:

 

Just post in the comment any questions or encouraging remarks that you might have and send to me the list of products that you want. Alternatively, if you are not registered on Reddit you can always send me an email to my address with any questions that you might have. (fomchenovlev@gmail.com)

 

What I get from this:

 

Testing the waters: if the demand is high enough, then I will develop this idea further. I do think that it’s ridiculous that something that I bought before as an ordinary 8 USD nootropic in a pharmacy, can be bought only on specialised sites here for 40 USD e.g. Semax. I see a lot of potential here. Getting some reputation on this subreddit, which is very important if you have long-term plans and I do. Basically I want to obtain information first and not profit and, if successful, I will develop this as far as I can but the prices will not be higher for sure.

So, if you feel like supporting a fellow nootropic geek as well as getting some official drugs at a very low price, please comment, ask and I hope there will be enough demand to make it feasible.

You can compare the prices at this website: http://awakebrain.com/products.htm and see that these prices are AT LEAST 50% lower and more than 60% lower for Semax and Selank:

• Semax 0.1% 3 ml  15 USD
• Semax 1% 3 ml 55 USD Selank 0.15% 3ml  18 USD
• Phenotropil (Carphedone) 10 pill pack 100mg  15 USD
• Phenotropil (Carphedone) 30 pill pack 100mg  30 USD
• Noopept 50 pill pack 10 mg  15 USD
• Phenibut 20 pill pack 250 mg  10 USD
• Adaptol 20 pill pack 500 mg  15 USD
• Ladasten (Bromantan) 25 pill pack 50mg  20 USD
• Ladasten (Bromantan) 50 pill pack 50mg  30 USD
• Afobazol 60 pill pack 10mg  15 USD
• Stresam (Etifoxine) 24 pill pack 50mg  15 USD
• Stresam (Etifoxine) 60 pill pack 50mg  25 USD
• Biotredin 30 pill pak 100mg  5 USD
• Metaprot 20 capsules 250mg  25 USD
• Cerebramin 40 pill box 10mg  15 USD
• Cytoflavin 50 pill pack 280mg  15 USD
• Neiromidine (Ipidacrine) 50 pill pack 20mg  20 USD
• Mildronat (mildonium) 40 pill box 250mg  20 USD
• Galantamine 14 pill pack 4mg  15 USD
• Mexidol (emoxypine) 50 pill box 125mg  20 USD
• Pantogam 50 pill package 500mg  20 USD
• Pantogam Active 60 pill box 300mg  20 USD
• Tenoten 40 pill pack  7 USD
• Picamilon 30 pill box 50mg  5 USD
• Piracetam 60 pills box 400 mg  5 USD
• Vinpocetin 50 pills pack 5 mg  5 USD
• Phenazepam 50 pills pack 1 mg  10 USD
• Actovegin 50 pill bottle 200mg  45 USD
• Encephabol (pyritinol) 50 pill pack 100 mg  20 USD
• Tabex (cytisine) 100 pill box 1.5 mg  18 USD
• Mexidol 5 ampules 5%  15 USD
• Actovegin 5 ampules 40 mg  25 USD
• Cortexin 10 ampules 5 mg  25 USD
• Ceraxone 5 ampules 500 mg 4 ml  25 USD
• Cerebrolisate 10 ampules 5 ml  25 USD
• Cerebrolisyne 10 ampules 1 ml  30 USD

I also have several spare bottles of Oxytocin but they are from Germany and therefore more expensive: * Syntocinon (Oxytocin Spray) 200 IU  45 USD

 

All these nootropics are OFFICIAL drugs, which means that they undertook clinical testings, were approved by the state and were manufactured according to all standards. Therefore, from my perspective, they are supposed to be more reliable and safer than any research chemical here, except for other official drugs that were approved by the FDA. The only disadvantage is that the instructions are in Russian. I will nevertheless try to find the english translations and add them to the packages because they are already widely available on the internet.

 

I also want to point out that I am well aware that peptides are supposed to be kept in cold, however Oxytocin can be kept in the room temperature for 1 month after first use according to the instruction. As for the Semax, it is stated on the official website (http://semax.ru/voprosotvet/) that it can be taken with you on a trip for several days without problems and should be kept in fridge if you are planning to use it for a long time. Nevertheless, when shipping peptides I will still use ice packs just in case because right now a have a few of them.

 

If you need any additional information, please, let me know. I am very open to critique and suggestions. I am also very excited Lev

Has anyone tried them received a order from them yet?

[112358134]

Guys, 

 

I posted this initially on Reddit r/nootropics but the moderators there blocked my post because they don't allow direct buying or selling in their subreddit due to spurious offers. I guess they are right as they want to protect users from any form of direct advertising as well as fraud but it also means that my experiment does not seem to be working.. However, I will not abandon my plan but I guess I will have to take more risks and invest more time in creating first a website for selling this staff. It will take quite some time and will not appear in the nearest future due to how busy I currently am but I guess after that it will look much more plausible. 

 

I would still appreciate if you could say here what you are interested in and what you would buy if the opportunity existed. I understand perfectly well if you find this a little bit implausible and suspicious - I would find it myself. And there is no way for me to convince you otherwise until someone has a positive experience and would share it here. 

 

All the best,

Lev 

 

P.S. And thanks for the comments.

[OneScrewLoose]

Honestly, I have to do a bit more research on what some of these do before I can do that.

[eon]

αMT (alpha-methyltryptamine), an anti-depressant from the tryptamine family; first developed in the Soviet Union and marketed under the brand name Indopan.

 

I wonder if any sources for this? Considering it is a schedule 1 drug in the U.S. I'm sure it's hard to find. 

[112358134]

Guys,

 

I'll order the nootropics from Russia to UK in 5 days. (June 28th) If you wish to get anything from the list above please contact me before that day. If you contact me after it I will be happy too, but I will not be able to sell anything as I have to buy them first from Russia.

 

 

Until now only 3 people have contacted me, so I have replied to them and hope they will make an order.

 

 

Again, I don't make any money on this and it is not my purpose right now. I just want to test the UK customs mostly, understand how delivery of Nootropics from Russia works (price, timing) and, perhaps gain some reputation here if anyone agrees to buy anything from me. 

 

I'm planning to open an online shop in several months as I see a huge potential here and this area is extremely interesting for me. I will also receive 2 master degrees in the area of business in 4 months, so I hope I will have enough knowledge to make it work in the end.

 

Cheers

Hi Ololoman,

 

I know this is not on the list above, however....

can you order NGF, powdered either mouse NGF, or human recombinant NGF ?

If you can,.... could you let me know the quantity and price.

 

Thanks for your help

 

Playground.

 

[112358134]

Hey, Playground,

 

Unfortunately, no.

I've just checked it and it is not produced in Russia. 

But it is not surprising given that it is not an approved drug in Russia. I can only get you what is available in a pharmacy.

I hope you will be able to find it elsewhere. 

 

Good luck!

Thanks Ololoman,

It was worth a try.

 

Nice profile picture.

Is that the Laika that went into space ?

 

Playground

[112358134]

Yep,

 

Since most of nootropics were developed for cosmonauts, then I think it would be somehow related to put the first one as a profile pic.

They gave Laika nootropics ? 

.... but insufficient oxygen to survive the journey back to Earth ?

 

You might be better using a photo of Uri Gegarin.  ;-)

This is an obvious scam for you to step forward and say

.... "hey.. i ordered from him and everything worked out just great"

 

You sound like an advert:   "this stuff is the real deal for a extremely reasonably price. Recommended"

 

You're probably the scammer.

 

Have a nice day ;-)

[112358134]

Giving a good feedback doesn't make a person scammer.

I asked Alin to post here, as everything worked fine for him and I needed his feedback now. He was very kind to do it.

I have no idea what you want but please try to not blame people you don't know anything about. It will not do any good for you.

Thanks.

 

[112358134]

Actually, I've already found enough people willing to help me test deliveries, so this offer is now closed.

[playground]

Yeah, yeah...  people are just queuing up at your door to give you business.

 

And it's just strange that this thread remained silent for so long, right ?

 

You never responded to my request for your name, address, bank details, etc.

 

Why was that ?   Shyness... perhaps ?

[112358134]

I do not know why you keep offending me. I am not doing anything bad to you, only sharing my plans with the community in order to be transparent from the very beginning and thus get some reputation for everyone's benefit. Again, I was sending and I am sending the staff and ask people to pay me after they receive it, so that they avoid any potential problems with customs and don't have to risk their money. Giving you my address, bank details, etc is totally irrelevant in this case and has nothing to do with being transparent. I am sure that when you think carefully you will see my point.

 

If you are interested in how I got more than enough willing people you might want to go to my post that I created 3 days ago: https://www.reddit.c...cs_from_russia/ There you can see for yourself how many replies I got.

 

Hope you are alright.

[playground]

You're making yourself look like a scammer....

because you're pretending to be innocent... it's an obvious act.

Really ?  You've no idea about the dangers of scammers ?  Really ?

 

Everyone reading this thread knows that time and time again... people on this forum are scammed.

They are scammed by people like you. 

Many of these people don't have the money to spare... they're not wealthy.

 

Your anonymity protects you from prosecution.

Regular businesses are  NOT anonymous.

If a customer has a problem with an order, it's easy for the customer to communicate with the business.

That's not how it works with scammers. 

The scammer sends rubbish goods ... or the scammer takes the money and sends nothing.

 

You're making it clear that you're a scammer,

   because you're deliberately failing to acknowledge that there's a problem of scamming.

 

I hope the police catch you.

 

 

[112358134]

Hey guys,

 

It is strange I didn't provide here my website. So, here it is: cosmicnootropic.com. If anyone wants to get some brand-name nootropic drugs this is a good choice in terms of price, delivery time and overall shopping experience. 

 

We've been working for 5 months already and it has been a very interesting and rewarding time for me.

I received my order of 3X boxes of Adaptol
Pretty quick delivery (one week) and accurate tracking. Only arrived, so I haven't used the product yet but looks legit.

Btw, Playground, you appear extremely confrontational to this vendor to the point of seeming suspect you have vested interests elsewhere and are therefore attempting to "muddy the waters".
Also, how many supplement/Chem Vendors openiy advertise there account and sort code numbers plus full name unless requested for a Bank transfer of payment. Come on, name them?

[playground]

Clearly either 

(a)  you are this vendor 

(b)  you are shilling for the vendor.

 

In either case, we have no reason to believe this bullshit about you having goods.

 

You are a registered user and not a member... and you have made a full 2 posts !

 

Many members and users have been the victims of scammers.

Many of the victims on here have lost money they could simply not afford to lose.

 

It is entirely legitimate for me to warm the unwary that scammers exist on this forum.

 

There is clearly no reasonable cause for you antagonism towards me,

unless you are one of the scammers i am exposing.

 

Have a nice day  :-)

The original poster has been running a business with a website for months now and has gotten nothing but good reviews on reddit.

[112358134]

Playground, do you know how people, who wish ill on other people get screwed up?

 

There are different ways, but one particular way is when you tell something nasty about something or someone that you don't really know.

And this bad thing that you said is basically a projection of your own subconscious mind and has nothing to do with the reality.

And then, other people who heard you do not happen to have the same problems as you do and do not agree with what you say.

 

So, if you want to make me a favour, keep what you have been doing and don't change anything. I am sure more of my customers will come here and this post will get more attention. And this will be good for everyone, as more volume enables me to keep the low prices the way they are now. This is an advantage of running a good business.

To Playground,

Just because I have only 2 post doesn't make me dishonest. I have been registered since 2011 and usually prefer to browse this forum and believe m after a while you can certainly separate the wheat from the chaff.
I posted on this occasion due to the fact I received excellent service from this vendor but you, in your infinite wisdom, has decided to make all sorts of unfounded accusations against him.

Oh yes, you didn't reply to my question about your strange request for the Vendor's full name, date of birth, home address and bank account details. I asked you how many other Vendors do this? (Names please).

The only assumptions that seem viable are (1) You have a vested interest in seeing this vendor fail or (2) You are currently experiencing an acute illness.

I agree with you that there are plenty of scammers selling via the internet but I assure you, from my experience, this Vendor is 100% legit. Try them yourself?
