Summers coming & its time to get things ready to fihgt the HEAT, but buyers beware !

I decided to invest into a couple cool tubes. I usually shop "HTG SUPPLY" online for most of wut I need & the service, shipping & prices are all great. BUTTTT....I checked on ebay & found cool tubes for the rite length that I needed & @ half the price HTG SUPPLY was asking.

When I click on the cool tube I was shocked to find it was from HTG SUPPLY for $51 on their ebay store but $99 in their regular stores ! The phone # number listed is even the same one I have stored in my phone so I waited & called my order in this morning.

@ 1st when I stated I wanted purchase cool tubes & that I saw that they had the size I needed @ $99 he said "that's rite". Then I went on to tell him I needed 2 but was confused about the 2 different prices I came across in my searches...their Cranberry township store site & their ebay store. He 1st asked me for item #'s, but before I could hit him with the #'s (which I had, I was prepared)...lol within seconds he said, OK sir that comes to $103....no arguments or anything, like he already knew but was willing to take me for $99 a piece if I had not known this !

I know I'm not the only 1 shopping with HTG I've sen others speak highly of them on RIU. So this is just a heads up...start checkin their already great prices against their ebay store prices, you'll never know !!!!!
 
always check HTG on ebay everybodys knows that, how do you think they got that good rep? lmao. dude your tripping. you should have called been like hey bro it says 51 on ebay i want that price and the would give it to you, but they are also a retail store for a distributor(ebay is "wholesale") and hell yeah if they can get thier 50% markup thier gonna take it, but if you get got, its your fault for not looking.
 
Oh fuck yeah.....I forgot this.....FREE SHIPPING ! All these years I live in the same freakin state & they have been hittin me for shipping....& hittin hard too !
 
Wow, this shit is good to know because I am just buying cool tubes for my veg rooms in a day or two, if this is true I will buy them tonight.

...30 seconds later...Yep, they were the very first cool tubes to pop up. Thanks.

edit-I guess I'm an ass to for not looking, but it doesn't matter because Ive never bought off HTG, until now.
 
Hell, Amazon has 400w system for $129 by "APOLLO". Dimable balast 50% 75% 100%...u get both MH & HPS bulbs, ratchet rope hangers, a timer & free super saving shipping !

Bought one last month just in time cuz my old one to go out on me. It was one of those white ones that got crazy hot, this new one stays room temp, no noise or vibrating. Its been manning 2 grows since the old one blew so I ordered another today & yeah, they have gone up 5 bucks since last month but still worth it to me anyway....so far
 
Bruh, I got it for the ebay price. The $103 was for the 2 that I got.....lol

thats my point you did you research here is a pat on the back for using common sense.

MY point is, if some one is stupid enough to pay full price then they should. its common sense to price compare. end of story, if you dont thats your fault.
i wonder how many people bough a wire rack green house for 40$ lowes website this year? when they could get it on ebay with free shipping for 25$?
 
htg is a good company just buy from ebay :D or call them and talk to them no reason to fret cause they want try to get retail, once again who can Blaim them?

then there is good places like virtualsunhydroponics (china:D), hyrodponics.net(wholesaler, direct order from ditributer, you pay shipping though) horticulturesource.com (coole tubes around 60)

IMO HTG is very cheap and very bad at customer service, they also sell cheap faulty items, i learned in my growin cultivation infancy what HTG was all about, dont let them fool you for a minute, they will take you for everything, idk whatever, good luck everyone.
 
i think you can say this for any retail store, but i agree, everyone needs to look on ebay for everything grow related, Im an ebay seller, and shopper, for the last 7 years, ive had an ebay store, its the only way to shop online!!!!
