Lowballers appear to have touched a new low as far as Phentermineis concerned. Some of the latest prices from sites on page-1 of google for Phentermine 37.5/90:


phentermine.ms $113.40 (free shipping)


iprescriber.com $117 (free shipping)


The lowest base price that most affiliates have is $98.40 from IMS and there is no way you can offer that kind of price with a base price of $98.4 unless you are doing some 100 orders/day and have lower base prices negotiated with rxmedicalone. #3,4 or 5 on page-1 of google doesn't bring 100 orders/day. I know that because I've been there for months.My guess is that these guys are happy with $5 profit/sale. To me these retards lookmore like a threat when compared with likes of DEA.

No wonder my sales are not what they should be after getting to the first page for Phentermine. smileys/smiley19.gif

First result for Google probly turns over quite a few sales. 100+ day wouldn't suprize me too much.

I've been there also and not even close to 100+. Maybe 30 - 40 on a good day.

i guess I am crazy but I would I would rather make $210 from 3 Phentermine 37.5 x 90 sales then make $210 from 20 of them.


If you are in a good spot then you can jack the price up to at least $159 w/free shipping and still make a killing because I think that the average phen user would think that is cheap.


Everyone is free to price as they want though and if the lowballers are making money doing what they do then more power to them.

So many customers, when they see that price, immediatly think that it is a generic knock-off and go to a site that costs $159-199 for the same order and order there.

I like the fact that andrew has it priced at $169 and no free shipping. Like Phentermine.ms he is using blog+guestbook spam to be at #2 or #3 but is then not misusing his position to kill sales for everyone.

I've also had 2-3 sites in the top 10 for phentermine and there were days of 50 sales, but no where near 100. I agree with Chester that these idiots should be raising prices as on page 1 you can charge whatever you want to charge especially in the first 5 spots.

Andrew,


Yes, I know you don't own phentermine.ms.


How can I forget the long thread with that Phentermine.vg guy?

phalaris, I need to learn to read carefully the postbefore answering :( sorry. On this topic I'm on the same side as you - I don't want to ruin this market.

You are selling to customers who are coming to you via type-ins. You are extremely lucky. smileys/smiley1.gif


Just try selling the same stuff at $125+$18 shipping on google and you will learn the first lesson of competition in online marketing real fast. smileys/smiley2.gif

phalaris you are correct.....smileys/smiley14.gifThe way I figure it the people lowballing will eventually dry up and go away and at that point I will increase my efforts in the online marketing side.

Well, that officially makes me a high baller.


And you know the best part, I don't get all these ignorant emails demanding this or that. They don't even mind waiting a week to have an order sent due to the well known Hedwards red pen.


Selling low, you get more orders, more "situations" and more problems to go with less money. Sound stupid to lowball? It is! smileys/smiley8.gif


Not to mentionthe fewemails I've received with people claiming my meds seem to work better even though they are the same damn med at a higher price. LOL


I'll say it again: Perceived value.

Snappyrx.com used to sell at $108 free shipping. Now they have raised it to $118 + $18 shipping.


EVA's lowballers used to sell it at $99+ free shipping. So this is not a new low. People are happy to make$5/sale, more power to them. Let them make hay while sun shines or say before google yanks adwords for OPs.

We have changed our commission structure and now offer a cost and you receive 80% of the profit.


For Phentermine 37.5mg 90 pills the cost is 76.44. You set the retail price and we pay you 80% of the difference.


Contact me if you want anymore details.

The major question here is: Does the base price cover shipping charges?


If yes, this is a good deal. If no, then it's not so good. smileys/smiley17.gif

Our base price does not include shipping.


However, shipping is added to the retail price you set and is paid by the customer.


Let's say you set your price to $120. Depending on the shipping method the customer pays $7-18 in shipping for a total of $127-138.


Your commission would be 80% of ($120 - 76.44) = $34.85


Now if you want to not charge shipping we can add that into the cost and then the base price should be less then $90. We aren't currently setup this way but if there is demand for it we can easily do it.
