Important Research Disclaimer
This article is strictly for research and documentation purposes. We do not endorse or recommend any vendors or grey market purchases. Always obtain medications through legal channels and licensed healthcare providers.

Understanding Group Buy Structure
Group buys (GBs) have become a common way for grey market vendors to organize bulk purchases. This analysis examines how these group buys are typically structured, based on data collected from public channels between December 1-11, 2024.
Availability Limitations
Group buys are based on current stock availability and production capacity. Important considerations:
- Not all product options are available in every GB
- Popular concentrations may sell out quickly
- Stock levels can change during GB period
- Some options may be temporarily unavailable
- Warehouse location affects product availability
- Production schedules influence GB timing
Note: Vendors typically announce current stock levels and limitations at GB start. Available options can vary significantly between GBs.
Understanding Kit Structure
- Each "kit" typically contains 10 vials of lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder
- Powder requires reconstitution with bacteriostatic water before use
- Vials are vacuum-sealed to maintain stability
- Storage requires refrigeration after reconstitution
Note: Lyophilized powder format is standard for peptide stability and shipping.
Cryptocurrency Payment Warning
Research indicates that using major cryptocurrency exchanges for grey market transactions carries significant risks:
- Direct payments from major exchanges often result in account bans
- Private wallets (like Exodus) should be used as intermediaries
- Multiple wallet transfers recommended for privacy
- Consider transaction privacy features when available
Understanding MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)
MOQ is defined by:
- Total order value (e.g., "$260 minimum")
- Product quantity (e.g., "2 kits minimum")
- Combined weight (e.g., "20g minimum for raw powder")
MOQ Benefits
- Qualifies for free shipping
- Access to bulk pricing discounts
- Ensures economic viability for vendor
