    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

At this point in the thread, it seems like you are maybe confused or lying. You said 80 grams, minus the weight of the cup is 56 grams somehow to you....
Now you are saying it weighed 24 grams after the cup....


You see that big huge button that says "tare" on the scale? You should put the cup on first, and then press that button....you will see the scale go to zero. At that point, you take the same cup and fill it with the roaches. Thats how you weigh something in a container.

SO at first it was 80, 80 minus 32 is 48, 48 grams of 1/4 inch roaches is 1000. You said at first with the cup his replacements weighed 80 grams. That means you got the 1000 roaches he told you he would send.

I think you owe the man an apology.

what in the world are you talking about?his replacement order was 56 grams total with the DELI CUP

THE DELI CUP ON IT'S OWN IS 32 GRAMS

MINUS 32 GRAMS YOU GET 24 GRAMS

If you are talking about 1/4 inch or so nymphs, then 50 grams is well over a thousand, so 53-56 grams is probably about right.

you mis understood what i posted,56 grams was the total he sent me with them in the deli cup

deli cup=32 grams

56-32=24 grams.

his replacement order was not 56 grams on it's own.
 
Oh those are the microwaveable cups they are not standard deli cups those are take out/soup cups
24 grams of roaches it approximately 600 1/4 or smaller nymphs
So you got about 1800 roaches I'll tell you what if you go to the long island expo I'll cover the other 200 roach nymphs for max
48+24=72

no it's ok you can keep your roaches no need for them
 
I still dont understand why you dont use the tare button. It would be much less confusing if you could just give the weight of the roaches, and not all this business with the weight of the cup and the roaches.
 
Max has shown himself to be very polite and professional through all this. You however have been impossible.

Max, I just ordered roaches from a few people, but the next time I need some, I'll buy from you. I trust that I'll get the correct amount.

Thanks! And you are here in IL so you should get them fast through shipping. Thanks for the kind words.
 
I dont know, something is questionable, but I guess in the end you really could have just counted them out one by one.
Alot of dealers that post on here also look at these threads. And its not just the dealers that get a reputation here, its buyers too. I wouldnt be suprised if a few roach dealers tur you away when you attempt to place an order with them. Thats all I have to say.
