    Arrow stuck with Supps you dont use or dont like>?

    I know the main feeling around here... supps arent the key to anything but losing money.

    but when you buy something and read up AFTER you bought it, or find something better, or plain just dont want it.

    WHY DON"T WE START A SUPPLEMENT TRADING THREAD?

    First off who would want to use an opened package of supplements. With the way those things are labeled (proprietary blend) its hard enough knowing what's in them before someone has ripped open the packaging and had access to all the good. Second and of lesser importance, you just wasted 50 bucks on some useless junk now I'm going to spend another 10-15 to ship is to some other guy? I don't see this happening anytime soon. How about bring it back to the store.

    Trade to someone you trust.
    Get the other person to pay for the shipping cost.

    i just give mine to weekend warrior friends. they end up "owing" me some time later. yes evil.
    i don't even bother with supps anymore.
    multi, creatine, fish oil, and calcium is all i need.

    I would never trade opened or even unopened supplements...there's no telling where its been stored or what's been done to it.

    Tylenol tampered with was purchased on store shelves and caused several deaths, iirc.

    NOTHING is guaranteed safe.

    You've never had a friend from the gym or work who said, "I'm never going to finish this protein powder. I picked the wrong flavor entirely. You want it?"

    I've shipped supplements to more than one friend made online. Part of my BSN prize package the one year found its way to Texas, I believe, and none the worse for wear.

    I've narrowed down my supplements to the absolute bare minimum....damn kids are expensive and so is the wife.

    Right now I'm looking for free handouts. Can we get a section on the forum for that?

    If you trust them (then I am assuming that they trust you), WHY would I sell them a product that I know/believe doesn't work?

    Oh, nevermind...that's how the supplement industry works in the first place...GENIUS!!

    Wouldn't have to fit that scenario. Perhaps the sender tried out a flavor that disagreed with them.

    My one friend had a tub of Size-On that he just didn't like. He offered it to me because he knew I ran a log on Gaspari's SuperPump250 back in the day.

    I usually just take it into the local supplement store and give it to them to use (they give it out to people at the gym, etc.) chalk it up as a loss...

    perosnally dont like ever feeling like I wasted $
    id prefer to trade a supp missing 1 scoop, or evne in my case 2 UNOPENED products that I no longer need.

    often times guys get a supp, decide not to use it and are stuck with it.

    I will never just give one away or toss it.

    speaking of which.... PM i have 2 sealed pre-workouts Id like to sell. non stim and stim
