Default Controlled Labs

I was reading through Muscular Development and one of the very FEW ads in the mag showed Controlled Labs.

checked out their site and they have Red Acid fat burner listed at $65 for 180 caps.

checked out ******** where i normally get my protein and they have it at $30

BB.com has the same amount listed $34

why would Controlled labs have it listed at twice what others are selling it at?
Anyone tried CL products?

A lot of company sites list their products high as a suggested retail price. These companies usually don't sell directly to consumers but to resellers so the higher suggested price gives these resellers a greater degree of price freedom. Controlled Labs make excellent products that I have heard nothing but positive feedback on.

Exactly

Think of it this way if you were a reseller and you buy your items from the manufacturer and then they sell it for the same price as you, that wouldn't be fair. So they have the higher price on it and then this gives room for the resellers to mark the price lower and still make a profit.

Do any of the board sponsors carry their products?

Also resellers can say Compared to 100 bucks, and sell for 40 and make it look special.
