Great point that there are new lab and volume discounts. Our data is showing that you should always be negotiating and that pricing is still independent of volume. We've seen cases of companies with 1/10th the spend of others gett

A major problem is that it is time consuming for researchers to comparison shop and contact sales reps. We built Lab Spend ( https://labspend.com ) which has a pricing search engine for supplies and chemicals to give people an ide

Correct, they are paying essentially 0% interest in exchange for the policy risk. My interest is that the policy risk according to Berkshire actions is less than 4% debt they could likely attain (or better). In other words - they are recomm

I’ve been torn about his comments of not using leverage to buy stocks. Berkshire uses insurance float which has risk. I guess they feel that this risk is small and supported by the 400 billion reserved to pay out. Is attaining debt at a 4%

Thanks, but these references are reporting demographic and biochemical indicators. They do not state that people with a normal diet need supplementation. Summary reference: "The Nutrition Report has limitations. First, it does not cove

Supplements feel like one small step above homeopathy I've interacted with hundreds of elite level athletes who are always looking for an edge. These athletes do not depend on supplements and many avoid them. I would expect these athle

My concern is the price of getting the product at the store verse instacart delivering it. If you can get a discount directly from the store, great! You are providing value to them.

Never used Instacart, but your link to show transparency, doesn't actually state what the mark up is.. 2%, 10%, 25%, order minimum or there's fee.. Transparency to me, would mean I place order and know how much it will cost, insta

eBay is decent for used equipment some glassware, but would not recommend it for chemicals.

Awesome! We've been supporting start up bio companies by offering them a fair pricing on equipment, supplies and chemicals. I think we've sold to every YC bio company except Ginkgo (doh!). There's a huge problem in non-transp
