I feel it is a good ball busting tool, and sometimes humorous. Well it’s funny to me, the arrogant tool it was intended for probably still doesn’t get it.
Regardless, the price will come down eventually, just like every product here. Surge Workout Fuel used to be 50 bucks, now its $38.
Question: I know that T-Nation says they are barely getting profit from ANACONDA. ANACONDA sells for $85 but if you buy two or more it is $68? The retard in me is confused. Does this mean it costs less than $68 to produce one tub of ANACONDA?

Probably, but don’t forget that they also have to pay for FedEx shipping, so the discount makes sense since it’s more cost effective to ship multiples than single items.
If entertaining oneself with thoughts of manufacturing cost and doing things such as comparing on-sale price now with statements made months ago, it should be kept in mind that a major part of what took so long with ANACONDA was getting the production cost down without changing the ingredients.
Obviously I can’t go into detail on private discussions, but quite some time back the figure Tim mentioned to me for what it was costing to supply some athletes with it was well over $100 per container.
If it is retailing now for less money than someone has previously seen stated as production cost, it is on account of succeeding in making arrangements to get some very expensive materials at less-extreme though still high prices.

Elite and Defrancos have business ties with Biotest… In my opinion Professor X and Stu are no longer credible when it comes to reviews on this supplement as well for the fact that they have established such an intimate relationship with the company.
UH,… I’ve been using Biotest supplements for about 8-9 years now, and up until a couple of months ago was gladly handing over my money because I was always content with what I ordered. Sure there were items I couldn’t afford, but I didn’t get angry at Tim for advertising and hyping them, or at other forum members who were able to buy and use them.
I never made a big deal out of this, but last March I appeared in a Natty BBing mag, where they turned some comments I made into an endorsement of another supplement company’s products. While they did give me a nice package of their product line, I actually returned the items I received to the local GNC instead of using them. Why? Because I prefer to spend my money on products that I have faith in. Will everything work for everyone? Of course not, but there are companies that earn your trust, and companies that insult your intelligence.
Sure, I realize that some people are envious, jealous, even angry that Tim and Christian chose a couple of others and myself to get our feedback, but I like to believe that it’s because they realize that we’ve all been pretty up front with our feelings instead of just kissing ass hoping everyone in cyberspace loves us. It’s also not like Tim and CT call me on the phone every week. I promised to give my thoughts and feedback, and so I’ll fire off an email to Tim when I have some thoughts, everything else is wide open on these threads. Seriously, after presenting my own trials and tribulations with training and diet like an open book on here for so many years, I resent your statement that I’m no longer credible.

This post made me feel like an asshole and I’d like to no longer associate myself with the rest of the price-whiners. Go ahead and call me a Stu-sucking, X kissing biotch but I’m gonna go ahead and shut my mouth about the Anaconda shenanigans and try to LEARN NEW THINGS again.
I’m gonna attempt a hijack: anybody else think that “the Anaconda Protocol” sounds like a sex position?? Anyone??

But yes, half the people on this board don’t get your point, Cobrakai. That’s probably also how Biotest is making money…[/quote]
How come you claimed not to post under any other user names than this one, yet admitted that you continue to post on SAMA under an alias (Cobrakai is a very prolific poster there)? How is it that whenever you post a thread, some random member appears out of the ether to say that “nobody gets your point”(one of whom was Cobrakai)?
If your going to troll using multiple accounts, at least try to alter your writing style and keep your personas separate. Oh, and before you deny it, let me just point out that I exposed Slimthugger for doing the same thing. Six months later the mods banned him for abusing multiple accounts.
