Is price ever a good indicator of quality with raws?

High price doesn’t guarantee quality, but dirt cheap is usually a red flag.

You’re paying for process and testing, not just the powder.

Some vendors tax the name more than the product.

Cheap raws can end up costing more if they’re trash.

Mid-range with solid reviews usually beats overpriced hype.

Price helps narrow it down, but it’s never the whole story.

Consistency matters more than one-time “premium” pricing.

Lab results > price tags every time.

Some of the best stuff isn’t the loudest or most expensive.

Price can hint at quality, but trust is built over time.
