To wait or not to wait?

Hello all,

New here and very glad to be in the mix. This is an incredible resource and I will absolutely be donating shortly. I understand most of the obvious benefits that come with membership such as approved vendors, reduced risk of being scammed, etc. My question is, are the prices and level of quality for reading materials very different with approved vendors versus the vendors visible to non members?

Like I said I will be donating either way without a doubt. I’m just curious if the prices I've seen so far are pretty much what I should expect on the other side?

Same with quality. Should I look forward to a much higher quality of magazines across the board or is it about the same I might find with the small test orders I’ve made with high rated vendors from the non member forums? Thanks in advance for your feedback and I will see you in the members clubhouse next week!

Hi Mishkax2,

New here and very glad to be in the mix.

In da club mix is a good place to be, to be sure.

When I joined about a year ago, I didn't compare what things were like prior to being in the mix (i.e. a sponsor). I just became a sponsor immediately. So I cannot give the most informed comment about the differences for members/non-members.

However... I don't think there's any difference when it comes to prices or quality. Rather, a sponsorship gives you more access to more spaces and thus more info, and the more informed you are in this world the safer you are in every way.

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy all it has to offer and enjoy being...

Been mixing it up in the members club for a couple weeks now. I can confirm it's the place to be especially for access to community conversations. Getting to hear and share experiences and suggestions is invaluable.

good to know! i just recently joined myself and, while i was planning to donate soon anyways, it’s nice to hear some direct feedback from someone who’s also relatively new
