yea I’ve been around awhile and I saw his explanation for the new pricing and what I’ve been seeing isn’t that it’s just random fluctuations not based on anything it’s his priority to do so but like I said if the price is going to fluctuate that much just bring back the reverse auctions and it wasn’t a complaint more of a suggestion.
I loved the auctions. Almost everything Greenpoint I have was bought that way.
We all have a right to complain, I just prefer reading it when people are informed and reasonable about what they are talking about. You seem like you're both of those things Kronic.
<Everything below this line is my guesses about what happens behind the scenes at Greenpoint. Nothing more>
I don't think the auctions will ever come back. That business model was based on volume to be profitable, and when the majority of his customer base had filled their collections with multiple packs of all the Stardawg crosses they wanted, sales dropped off and he had to charge higher prices to the remaining customer base for those strains to keep the cash flow up. First he got rid of the nuggets. Then he tried restricting supply. You remember when the strain you wanted would only have one or 2 packs show up for sale a day then disappear for a couple days? When they came back, they sold faster on the auction (Scarcity. FOMO.) Even that stopped working. These are just observations from someone who watched the auctions every day.
I doubt the fem lines of today are as popular as his older Stardawg gear was.
Your average Stardawg customer expects powerful smoke, and Purple Punch isn't known for that. With all the fire cuts available to them to reverse . . . right? So, he is not going to get his entire customer base to come back and buy the new PP crosses. Once again he has to charge higher prices to make up for low volume.
At least we can say we were there for the golden days of auctions and gold nuggets. We'll never see a better value in seeds again except ones gifted by friends.
I am so disappointed that he hasn't released a full line of BX seeds or FEM BX's (selecting killer mother phenos from each hybrid line, reversing them and crossing them back to the elite mother cuts.) Doing FEM BX's vs. REGS would increase the odds of success big time.
I think all his old customers would consider loading the boat again with those lines.
It would take work, no doubt, and those selections are not the kind of job that should be outsourced <ahem>.
Not all of them would be great of course. The chance of recessive traits stacking up and throwing bad phenos would be real, and most customers think a BX1 is like Soul's description of cubing (x75) so there'd be more complaints than he gets from a batch of F1's from some of those less savvy growers who pulled the short straw.
But Gu would finally deserve the name "breeder" if he did that, and everyone of his old customers would come back again.
It seems to be a tough business these days making and selling seeds. So much competition, so many doing the same things.
Gu's gonna do what Gu's gonna do. He always has, right?
