Well, there used to be a time where I thought nothing of throwing out handfuls of seeds. Thousands of 'em. But that was along time ago. Things are alot different now.
I felt the same thing as you a few months back, ..but now $50.00 for 10 hybrid seeds is a good bargain when you think about the return on your investment. Heck, $5.00 for a whole plant of buds is a damn better deal than hassling with dealers on the street IMHO.

There are some excellent seed banks out there, I bought mine from a seedbank in Amsterdam, and from a seedbank in the UK and I had excellent results. Safe secure transactions, shipping time was very fast plus 100% results when I germinated the seeds. I only changed supplier because I wanted a different strain.

I remember when I was younger and I said; "I refuse to pay more than $20.00 for an ounce". ..lol times they do change.
