Default Demand for "original" in a world of clones?

Just curious as to the desire for the original name-brand supplements that may not be available (Gaspari Halodrol-50, AX Superdrol, soon to be RPN Hovoc, etc.) in a world full of clones...

I know there is always some concern raised with the quality of certain clones, even to the point of not having the actives or the accurate actives of the original, or that it's a slightly different version of the original (not a true clone)
... but in cases where there are quality clones, is there still a market for the originals (if someone should happen to have them)?

Just thinking out loud...

I would imagine so, im about 99% sure that someone would opt to purchase an original over one of the clones any day. I've seen quite a few threads asking for the originals and willing to pay a pretty price for them, in fact i've thought about selling off the two bottles of phera-plex that i have laying around (original AX bottles). I just havent ever done it since i know its a good product and know that i wont get them again.

I think the originals are always better.

That's how I feel (don't wanna sell it 'cuz I might want it still), but I'm not sure that if I'm not gonna run all of it before the exp dates that someone else shouldn't be given the oppty to use it.

Problem is, you are all my brothers and it's hard to sell to you guys at a good price (for me, lol...), but I'd rather see you guys get the stuff than some random screwup off the street.

Ugh. :troubled:
