some guys may be 'in the know', but I'm actually 'in the business'... very few guys get their gear for free, it gets paid for one way or another.
60k per year? depends on how many shows they do. a faily decent estimate is about 2k/month, much of that being gh. do some quick math. pro's buy a lot.. amateurs buy a lot, so they're not gonna be paying 50/bottle of test or 60/bottle of deca when a regular buyer gets his test at 45ea when he buys 4 at a time and deca at 55ea or 50ea when he buys 2-3 at a time..figure regular retail prices when you buy 'a la cart' when test is 50, deca is 60, tren 70, 30 25mg dbol for $30, 30 50mg adrol for $45, 30 15mg halo for $100, primo ace is 100, mast is 70, ect... now figure how much they use offseason and how much they use precontest, add it up, and subtract about 30%.
selling at a steep discount or giving it free, just cuz they're pro's is ridiculous, considering the fact I supply a few former ifbb pro's brings me zero extra business. and don't forget, this is a business. not a charity or an opportunity to rub elbows with the dudes in the magazines. when my mortgage is due, the fact that I had so and so in my car this afternoon dropping off the next couple months worth of test, tren, adex, and serostim doesn't mean shit.
so lets just do some quick math, cuz I have a couple mins free...
5g test/wk = 2 bottles per wk, 8 per month. buy 8? we'll call that $35ea , so $280
1g tren/wk, that's a 4 bottles per month, we'll call that 60ea, so $240
100mg anavar/day, that's about 5 bottles per month at $45ea, so $225
1g mast/wk, that's 4 bottles per month, we'll call that 60ea as well, another $240
2g primo/wk, that's 8 bottles per month, at we'll say $70ea, which is a damn good price, but we'll call that an even $550 (usually it's either mast or primo, not both)
1 kit per wk of serostim/wk 4 at a time we'll say $350ea, that's $1400
... that's not even getting the clen, adex/femara, t3, etc...
it adds up. for all that (with primo instead of mast) I'd part with for an even $2500, because a few stray hundred dollars won't break me, and the customer will appreciate it and keep coming back. pro's are no different.
