I'm willing to pay for good beans.
What determines "good beans"?
To breed with, to clone from, line preservation? Consuming for profit?
How many packs does it take to find the "bean worthy" just to preserve the lineage?
You never know what you are getting from individuals except what you're actually holding in your hands from previous purchases etc. to compare.
All you are left with, comes from hearsay by "content creators" and their cult of commentor/followers.
Bunch of lonely strangers, bragging of memories on the internet, during the "lights out" cycle of time. lol
No seriously,
what 4 or 5 things determine what you are going to buy?
What are you looking for?
Do you run 500? A 1000? or 10?
Fem's or Regs?
Do you take a gamble and hope for the internet's best?
As a common grower/consumer, do you still have the illusion of choosing?
You get what you get, which is scary as hell if you are investing in the future.
Only if, you are lucky enough to personally know the grower,
that's about the only way to truly know what you are getting for the most part.
Are there good seeds in existence, sure.
There're 8 billion reasons for the possibility of their existence.
