Initiative: Ban Cali Claims
Here in the cryptoverse there is no way to prove an imported product. This makes it easy to claim anything and for the items that are actually imported, impossible to believe. Seems it would be quite easy technically to look out for this BS and clean it up.
I've never purchased any of these strains, but that they are an option seems only a good thing. There will be people that take advantage of that, just like there already is with any other claim of a weeds origin, or even strain, but it also allows the real deal to be sold.
I think we should be left to make that decision ourselves, not have them removed, which will be the result of a ban on claiming its origin, as that is what commands its price. There are so many options here, that no one needs to pay those prices for that weed, real or otherwise. My 2c.

Essentially, you can 'claim' anything. In the cryptoverse there is really no way to prove anything. If people choose to buy 'Cali' weed online, they take the rough with the smooth as far as I'm concerned. It's the buyers responsibility to follow up and ask questions of the vendor. It's up to the vendor to address any buyers' objections. This may be done with or without proof. It's then up to the buyer to decide if the vendor stands up to scrutiny or not. Banning the term 'Cali' essentially opens up a can of worms. Buyer beware and sellers back up your claims. It's simple as that. I won't risk 'Cali' weed because I cannot verify it. Seems like a pretty simple and logical buying methodology. Belief is down to you. Proof is the vendor's business.
Definitely, nobody is forced to buy anything and it's up to the buyer to determine what represents value for money to them
I think "cali" often means its a cali strain. But those who claim to be importing....umm....ive lost friends on LB for calling BS on that one may times hahaha
Oh god, don't get someone started on that barcode stuff, apparently it's super easy to fake! lol
Don't see why some people are so intent on vexing about this topic; use your common sense, you're either willing to pay premium or not, chat to the seller and see if you're comfortable laying the wedge, and worst case dispute it if you think it's fake / you've been misled.
Banning terminology, ffs, where does it end? There's always going to be people trying to mug you off, be sensible and you probably won't get burned.
Peace and love biggas
PS don't be that guy and shit post on established vendors when you haven't even purchased the product!

Whoever the first clown in the uk was to pay 100 quid for an 8th just cos it came in a tuna tin needs a slap
Ban the term "import" and "Cali" etc. unless it can be proven that it is indeed imported from California.
If you buy a bottle of Champagne in Tescos what PROOF do you demand to see that it came from France?ā¦that label could be a fake so they can charge more?
Ever had an imported beer?ā¦maybe you havenāt- maybe it was made in my garageā¦.

Alcohol from tesco is alot more regulated than bud off littlebiggy though š¤·š¼āāļø
The amount of artificial ingredients and sugar in a lot of alcoholic drinks is unreal. Plus however regulated alcohol is, itās still a carcinogen whatever dress it comes in.
That's a good point .The shops are full of fake foreign beers.
They claim to be Italian or whatever but when you look at the label it says brewed in the UK.
Apparently, they even change the recipe to suit the local pallet.

Tbf I don't think you can compare a regulated market with an unregulated market. Purchasing from an established company, I would imagine, it's more likely to be authentic because there's accountability. You could also ask the producer to provide proof. But of course it's not foolproof, nothing is, and there will always be knock offs.
And I'm sure some "Cali" and other "import" strains on here are genuine. But I'm also sure there are lots of false listings which, frankly, are scams as they falsely justify charging ridiculous prices that take advantage of people.
And I'm sure some "Cali" and other "import" strains on here are genuine. But I'm also sure there are lots of false listings which, frankly, are scams as they falsely justify charging ridiculous prices that take advantage of people.
That was really my point. It would be hard enough in a regulated market to get proof- we just take a leap of faith. In an unregulated i.e illegal market, we take a GIANT leap of faith so demanding proof is frankly ridiculous. Just try itā¦.
Just my opinion, but I pay little attention to the cali slogan usage on here. I am more concerned with a vendor and product rating. The best marker on here are the reviews, then I go by what I can afford vs what I would like to try/buy. There are some prices on here that means I will never go near that product and if I do try that vendor it doesnāt fill me with great confidence that I will be getting anything decent if it is the lower end of that expensive vendors product lines. To be honest I wouldnāt care if it came from the bottom of my backyard as long as it stones me nicely and is smooth and has good flavourā¦you donāt need cali or import for thatā¦end of the day it is buyer choice what you buy and also seller choice what is sold and how it is sold. Itās business, so if itās too pricey and no good, eventually people will go elsewhereā¦.no one wants to be ripped off
we have dropped this because the wonderwall algorithm appears to be compensating for cali claims now..
Opposition is a strong word but...
Why single out Cali? Is Dutch going too? Morrocan or Thai?
How about Organic?
They're giving buyers some idea of what to expect.
The bigger the claim the bigger the spanking if the drop doesn't match.

I agree HMT. I've been happily, every now and again, been ordering 'Cali'. V pricey, yes. If it isn't 'cali' I'm pretty happy as its been v good quality IMHO.
Just taken the plunge with a newish but well respected LB vendor on some $130-ish an 1/8 Cali (nice bag and everything!)
At worst I'll still be $130 worse off but with some weed. In these times I'll take that as a general result in life. Maybe I'll be pissed off for a day or two but that'll be it.
Anyway, I'm rambling now.
Not sure if 'Cali' claims should be banned. let the reviewers tell the tale.....

Yeah I'm opposed to it, I find it ludicrous that it's such a big thing that people are making threads over it. If your not interested scroll past. Oh and I'm gonna put a proper thread up later but it appears using the cannverify app that the Cali I got today is actually from California. As for the codes being easy to fake one Reddit post (which is all the proof I have seen so far) does not a 100% factual statement make. So yeah I'm opposed to this suggestion ;)
Hi
Hope you're well DEADRABB1T
All the Jungle Boyz we sell have been declared real by our customers on here.
We don't sell fake and not here to rip NO 1 off.
Can anyone suggest how to prove to people that the cali is really?
Because we are willing to provide any evidence anyone wants to see!!!
This topic is been going on for over a year on here and it's not fair on us when genuinely we are trying our best to provide the best strains and service on here.
So if anyone has any ideas how to prove let us know .
Thanks ā¤ Peace

I really feel for you guys- you bust a gut to bring us some fantastic JB strains and the jealous haters who probably just canāt afford it rip into you like thatās your fault!
āPROOF! PROOF!!ā ā¦.I mean FFS!ā¦if you are really that sceptical then donāt buy it, easy, there are over 500 options on this site alone!
Leave it for those of us happy to buy and stop pissing on our parade!

Honestly at this point you could book private flights to California, arrange for the doubters to be met at jungle boys hq and watch the bags be filled and the doubters will still be saying stuff like
"They brought the bud over with them" or "were not really in California this is Rotherham" etc
"They brought the bud over with them" or "were not really in California this is Rotherham" etc
Last time I was in Tescos I called out the the Manager as a lying thieving cockwomble because he couldnāt provide me absolute PROOF that their obviously fake Dom Perignon 2003 came from France. How can they make these claims when itās so easy to fake labels? Only idiots would buy it so I started smashing the bottles. That showed the wankmuffinsā¦.
My case comes up on Thursdayā¦.

Guys sorry my post has a heavy /s on it if it wasn't clear
As I linked the cannverify to the jungle boys pack I had off you
And was from the start of the year
I 100% believe that what I received was genuinely jungle boys šš
As for proving it's impossible if the method that would typically be used eg cannverify is being cast into doubt. Even if the doubters are unable to actually provide proof that it's comprised š¤·š» it's a flat earth situation I fear for the non Cali believers

Bro I bought from TGD and they sent me fake zushi. It wasnāt even close to the real deal. Iāve had blue zushi hundreds of times and Iāve had it directly in CA from the actual dispensary. TDG sent me fake zushi, then fucked around with escrow. Iāll get my money back but heās not as genuine as he comes across.
If he had admitted what he done then I wouldnāt even bother calling him out. But heās not legit.

bro you donāt even know what Cali is, you were selling fake blue zushi.
Jungle Boys come pre sealed so itās not possible for you to fake it unless youāre paying for the bags, which is too much hassle.
But the rest of your shit is fake, I actually ordered from you and now you wanna ask people how to prove if itās Cali? By selling the real thing and not ripping people off

as someone who lists almost exclusively cali i feel bummed out. I don't think in over 5.5k reviews a single person has disputed the claim, the quality is pretty obvious.
maybe thats why i'm so far down the wall now :(

Explains why your buds are brilliant. They mostly come from Cali quality is definitely there
Definitely some off the best buds on here

Yes! Itās nonsenseā¦Cali is some great weed and I want the opportunity to buy it!ā¦.all the Cali I have bought on here has been great!
I agree with HMP. Basically everything is a claim and to single out Cali claims is discrimination;) thanks all
I would completely agree this would solve many problems, just looking through and there are some really amazing newish sellers but they are right at the bottom below all the "Cali" too which seems unfair.
Ban ban ban if you ask me, charging a premium for something and not having to supply any real proof (for opsec obviously) leaves way too much room for cheeky beggars.

Your shake to smoke is very good but just because your not on the wall doesn't mean you should support the above posters. It's more likely that the products you vend are niche and due to that and the lower engagement you get on posts because of the goods will likely translate into no wall time. Have you considered perhaps offering a budget conscious but less shaky and more bud like offer as that's something LB could always do more with (in my opinion)
Anyone stupid enough to buy an 8th for $100 or more deserves to be diddled. There is undoubtably some fake Cali weeds on here as well as some genuine imports but I leave it all well alone thanks to the prices.
Some of the stuff on here is $160 a 1/8 I mean just donāt buy 5 bags fly to Cali and buy some there it would prob cost you around the same haha itās utter insanity imo weather itās real or not no flower is worth that price tag and I just wouldnāt buy it each to there own and all but you can get legit stuff cheaper else where itās only marked up on here cos Itās the only place most have and can go to get it and vendors know this or they are having there pants pulled down š§ I have a pal gets import stuff and for a 3.5 sealed bag you talking no more than Ā£70 for the very very top end normally Ā£50-60, here itās a harsh mark up I mean I like my pants being pulled down but by a woman Not a vendor haha
Might as well ban claims of organic or grown in living soil too. If a vendor is making big claims then a potential customer should do some serious vetting before deciding to part with the coin.
We import cali ourselves, top-tier grown in and around [retracted] . It just depends on who you shop with, we believe marketing as a difficult topic since there may also be import products sold, if you have had issues regarding import or cali flower on LB you should start a topic about the vendor issues. Caliweed is something sought after, in general it is just weed grown with higher standards. If the weed doesn't check the boxes of smell, taste, high aswell as appearance it should not be cali. Obviously if vendors sell from USA it might be hard to distinguish if something really is from Cali, in the end only the vendors truly can have information about the destination of production.
Also from someone who is really connected around the globe:
Many calipacks come without labels because they are sold without taxes, essentially its recreational weed sold in a black market. This mostly happens to overproduction, or production that did not check all boxes for rc market i.e. dispensaries. Often sold by bigger famous corps but also small black market only corps aswell, those huge amounts of packaged flower aswell as loose flower are sold to big big plugs.
Back to the Calibag topic:
In general Cali should only be bought from truly credible vendors.
Also labeled Cali bags should be controlled because the ones with labels qr codes are the most faked, always check authenticity via scanning qr codes if available. A red flag is if there are no sticker labels on bags, (doesn't have to be fake cali, tho its rare)

Since most Cali is grown indoors , what's the point of importing it ? Surely we could just grow the same cultivars locally .
There are barcodes and serial numbers on legitimate cali packs. Though, I guess even those could be refilled and resealed. But any cali pack without dates/serial numbers are fakes.
Not necessarily true, I have a mate in [retracted] that drives to Cali and buys Cali in bulk, they don't even come packed, just loose buds, so honestly it's hard to know whether something is legit or not when it comes to flowers.
Referring to cali packs mate. Clearly wont be dates and serial numbers on loose buds come on lol
Have always thought this as ppl charge premium prices for cali. Some ppl buy cali as it is seen as dispensary quality stuff. So they don't want to put anything in their bodys and trust sellers thinking theyre buying superior qwaulity product less harmful to health.

Would clear so much confusion up and would save me having to message vendors (who have been great in replying by the way) and annoying them! The site is such a jumble to a new user (it took me a good few weeks to somewhat understand the site and the layout) that it may out them off ordering if they are not sure how old a listing is (I know it did for me) something so simple can make life so much easier for both the vendors and the sellers.
I try and date on my post make much easier for LB community to see how old post our. 17/07/22 . JJ
People started dating their posts a while back.. it lasted about a day. We are a forgetful bunch š
I've tried to make a habit of it. I'm going to end my posts with a date stamp. 13/7/22. - English format
Please god yes! Date stamps and a search function! I appreciate there are probably "operational" reasons why they don't have this functionality but it'd be SO good to know when something was posted & be able to look for specific items/vendors easily.
For search, in android at least, you can use the "find in page" function of the browser. Top right should be three dots, it's in there.

Dates are missing by design.
There was a borg update recently saying dated posts will be removed after a day or two.

I am a mushroom vendor and cannabis buyer in littlebiggy. Dated postings and a search function would improve the site's quality. In addition, I think an animation video on how to buy items on lb would be awesome for new users. Any video artists out there?

This old chestnut..š¤£
Iāve raised dead posts from years back at times.
I try add dates to reviews, though mostly forget as blazed.
I do think I date my reviews with updates. So if I buy and review a herb and then 2 months later I order again , I like to let people know if new batch or stock is same as original time I reviewed.
Not saying people do on purpose but the bait and switch has appeared to happen

So it's been a couple of weeks and still nothing has really happened as far as coming up with a solution to bring some stability in the pricing for the buyers and vendors, and now that the dollar to pound conversion rate has very very quickly hit it's worst rate on record, and it's clearly showing no signs of slowing down, what are we going to do about this?
My solution, which has been backed up by so many of the sites users that i've lost count, would be the obvious
>CHANGE THE SITES CURRENCY FROM DOLLARS $, TO STERLING Ā£<
$60 is as near as makes no difference, Ā£60 now (Ā£55.26), once you factor in fees for buying btc etc! this is absolute insanity, i'm now unable to afford the order i planned for today due to literal overnight changes in conversion rates
$60 right now is Ā£55.26
$60 a year ago today was Ā£43.20
this is HUGE
I've explained this way too many times in the past couple weeks, but the only reason we are experiencing all the negatives of this is because we are still (for no actual given reason) using Dollars, instead of Sterling as the sites currency!
at the very least, 90% of the buyers on here are within the UK, and all have Sterling in our bank accounts, not Dollars
Dollars and Sterling are neck and neck when it comes to stability in the worlds market, claiming the use of Dollars for stability reasons on here is disingenuous
and how are vendors expected to be sat at their computer 24/7 constantly adjusting their prices on hundreds of listed items just to make it fair for buyers, when all this could be solved with a simple currency change?
$60 right now is Ā£55.26
$60 a year ago today was Ā£43.20
this is INSANE biggas, and it has NOTHING to do with inflation in the context of this website and market
Ā£60 a year ago is Ā£60 today.
one final thing i would like to add biggas that a lot of you probably wouldn't have even seen at the time, or joined long after, but about 2 years ago, before we had initiatives, i was very outspoken about the fact that the BTC prices on here used to be only set in 5 digits, for example 0.0050BTC, and with the instability of BTC, this lead to us never being able to actually pay the correct amount for our orders (0.0057464BTC < how prices look now) often having to pay way more than the order is worth because we didn't have the correct amount of decimal places, this was hugely frustrating and it was costing everyone a fortune, and after making topic after topic screaming at the top of my lungs about how much we need extra decimal places and then out of nowhere with no explanation we were finally given this much needed change when LB went under it's overhaul a couple years back! i wanted to end on that, for the biggas that thought that i'm just bitching, i'm not, i poured so much energy into those topics to benefit all of us, the amount of money that we have all saved since the decimal place change would have surpassed the hundreds of thousands of Ā£ quite some time ago, just like the change i'm asking for now, it's going to save so many people so much money at a time when we coudn't possibly need it more.

i know it's not, but that's not how inflation works on here as i've already explained and so have others, you're misunderstanding the point, that's not how this site works, as other people have already stated, this kind of inflation isn't relevant within the context of this site and buying weed
a Ā£60 listing a month ago is a Ā£60 listing today
a $60 listing a month ago would be about Ā£48 then, and Ā£55 today

FOR - Despite the complete collapse of the Ā£ it is still the most stable currency to use because 95% of buyers and sellers are in UK and the Ā£ is the currency we use. This means that a listing of Ā£100 will always be Ā£100 today, tomorrow, next week if its still listed at Ā£100 then you will still pay Ā£100 - this is stability. A $100 listing is Ā£76 then Ā£78 then Ā£82 then Ā£86 then Ā£90 now it's Ā£95even though its still listed unchanged at $100 - that is instability.
Sellers don't want to adjust their prices every day depending on international markets that have no baring on their business.

There are a lot of up votes on individual comments, shouldn't the up votes be against this hesh comment 'FOR' in order to be counted? Or am I reading the instructions at the top wrong? "Votes for comments are just appreciation"
Shouldn't there also be one AGAINST comment to register votes?
Is all the voting going to waste? If I am right get up voting on the hesh comment FOR!!!

there's some shite thinking here but if i take the proposal literally as "a more stable / suitable currency and or pricing" then yeah. not sure how that would work though.
there's some shite comments as well... unbelievable some people.. sorry for being the only person to actually get traction on this topic and start making much needed changes on here mate...
my whole point is to try and bring more stability for everyone as quickly as possible, and thinking of a way forward is the only way
calling this 'shite' without giving any reason why, or actually contributing a good idea, what use is that?

FOR - preferably stable coin, then theirs no issues with payment release dates of 16days for vendors who are then stuck in huge currency fluctuations and this year alone has seen at least 3 occasions of the escrows halving in value within that 16 day period.
It does not make sense, not with the pressures of staying stealth and not being caught by the bizzes we now have to have a degree in economics just to make sure have enough to pay our supplier's in 2 weeks for the reload or have enough money for fuel etc.
The world is at a financial knife edge and if this does not get sorted some poor vendors going to be getting a hiding or 2 from some pissed off supplier who wants their money the plain facts.

100% behind this initiative but sadly I think the site owners don't care. They posted last week about prioritising things behind the scenes. I've not once seen a feature the community has asked for implemented here. I get the feeling the site is run part time by a small group. I know of other marketplaces that have even the most basic of features... dated posts, search features, pages that don't take minutes to load if they have more than 200 topics on them. I can get over the dated posts and loading times but I can't get over the prices. The other place I buy from has lots of flower variety (shit for carts and edibles etc) but flower has always been Ā£37.50 for eighths and doesn't change. It think the LB staff maybe reached the limit of their abilities. Simple functions that any other online marketplace in the world has, the LB staff don't to have the knowledge/time/tools to implement.
regardless of this exercise the sellers need to lower their rates. they need to do this now (right now please if you are a seller reading this)
Vendors are not a charity we are here to try and make a profit. The prices are at the lowest points that I have ever seen on LB.
Can I ask you a question Mr Allmonde can I ask that you take a wage cut in your job, please?
And also at the same time pay more for your fuel and food and all the other crap.
Do you not think vendors deserve to make a living??

sure that's a good question that illustrates the fallacy of this initiative.
if i were being paid in dollars i would be making more pounds right now - just like you are.
if we change it to pounds today i'm still making the same amount anyway right?
you with me sir?
so in order for anything to change and for me to stop capturing the difference - like you are right now - i would have to lower my wage.

Correct if you are buying in dollars and paying for shipping in dollars but what I see beneath my feet is UK soil so no.
So unless you are not physically living here and working here no because every shop I go into still asks me for pounds when I shop.
It's really that simple Mr Allmonde.
The only way it works is if you buy from America and even then you still pay everything else shipping etc in pounds.

it doesn't matter if you are buying from swahili or if lb changes to shkels my friend, you will have to lower your prices to get lower prices to your customers.
can you see this?
can you see this?
Our prices are around 20% less across the board more or less from this time last year when things were even cheaper than they are now.
The risk reward ratio Mr Allmond is very low atm for vendors.
We are not in control of the currency markets and what happens in 2 wks after we have paid shipping and sent the item and we see the prices fall even lower and our money is still not being paid out are you going to send money to vendors when they go broke??

fair enough, this is a free market and people set their own prices and you sir are a market leader.
yet everything you say proves that this initiative will not save anyone a cent.

prices haven't been adjust once since months ago when you could buy a dollar for 73pence
switching to sterling would save the majority of the sites users quite a bit more than a cent... i would actually be able to afford to buy the same things i bought on here last week for example
you dont seem to undertstand people do not set their prices daily based on conversion rates here, so buyers are always losing money, not only that it will / has already reached a point where people can't afford to order because of the exchange rate, and then vendors won't be making any money at all if people can't afford to order

you don't actually have to change your prices though if this goes through
example
your mcflurry, 7g, $80, been the same price for about a month, but for us a buyer, that costs us Ā£10 more for the same order of $80 than it did a month ago
now lets say we had sterling as the sites currency a month ago
your 7g of mcflurry would have been listed at Ā£68 a month ago, dollar rates would be irrelevant and a month later your same listing would still be Ā£68 instead of the Ā£75 it costs now
so what's actually happening here is buyers are the charity here, a lot of us are here to buy a specific amount of medicine each week / month and lots of us are being fucked out of that because of a conversion rate, eventually vendors are going to end up with a lot less money if people can't afford to order because of a conversion rate

Yes agreed the customer needs a better option.
If a vendor does not sell for a few weeks its better than not selling and taking a loss which has happened quite alot this year with the markets crashing.
If we knew 100% that you pay Ā£68 and we receive that amount minus the Biggy fees there would be no issues as we are sheltered from factors outside of our control, but unfortunately that's not the case vendors are walking a tightrope, which is very perilous.
I have woken up 3 times in the last 12 months to have seen over $25k evaporate to around $9k even though I am working my bollocks off I still have lost.
Sometimes I question what is the point but it comes back to the buzz and the thrill I suppose otherwise it could be percevied as madness lol

if sellers dont lower their prices then then the pound would need to fall even further for this to have any effect whatsoever .
Hesh alot of vendors from earlier in the year have already been wiped out and alot that have been trading for the last 12months are just about keeping there heads above water after the btc price dropped 3 times in value, just take a step back and have a think about what i have just said.
The price of BTC is likely to drop further over the coming months so what you are asking is for vendors to do is commit financial suicide.
Its not up to the vendors its up to the admin on here to sort this out.

the inherent instability of BTC is something we've all been dealing with and there's nothing we can do about that unfortunately
but achieving more stable prices for buyers is the opposite of financial suicide, it's incredibly beneficial for vendors to have more stable pricing with sterling instead of dollars, i'm down so much money this month because of overpaying for this conversion rate to the point i've had to go round this morning asking vendors if they can do me a custom order because i can no longer afford the fixed prices on their menus
in my original post i said it was up to the admins to sort this out but we never hear from them, and since then i've had vendors saying it's up to vendors to sort this out?
at the end of the day WE need to sort this out as a community immediately and that's why i started this initiative, even though it's probably putting a target on my back for some people, this should all be about working towards a greater good! as currently the way things are going, nobody will be buying on here as others have already stated they are buying / looking elsewhere because of this

Yes I agree with all the borrowing that the UK government keeps doing it will only weaken.
When all those people where calling for a lockdown this is the price that we pay.
For all those people who where PAYE and were getting 80% of their wages for sitting on there backsides for months at a time, this is the cost of that.
Just think when you go on holiday now the same applies. Do you think Maria from the beach resort in Spain will be giving you more sangria because our pound is fucked ?
We need to accept that we all need to work harder to make the same money as this time last year it's that simple it won't be getting better it will be getting worse very sorry to say it how it is but that's the bare bones of the matter.
We asked for it we got it, this country is fucked.

Why isn't the GBP&USD price linked to the BTC price?
Altough, tbh, as vendors we should be price checking ourselves and our competition regularly anyway. Or, our customers would give us a nudge I'm sure.
At the same time, the best addition to this site would be both the currency prices, and the ability to settle funds, both customer>vendor and vendor>customer direct on the site.
The current 16 day escrow is laughable and a potential exit scam waiting to happen... the option for the customer to finalize on delivery hurts no-one

If initiatives are to guide our development work instead of borgs we need a rational process like the one attempted here.
No one can ever know what the majority of biggas want without a polling system that gets a good sample. Vocal vested interests are a worthy source of ideas and should be weighed against each other (and other priorities that aren't so apparent).
As an example of priorities consider the 2 initiatives recently posted: inventory controls and sterling based pricing. In a headline they sound rational and obvious but with some unemotional discussion it's pretty easy to see they don't have much impact.
Our inventory counter could be marvelous (it's what we shoot for when we actually get to something) but it will not interface with sales on other platforms thus still requires most sellers to manually maintain and update by order. It's also common for sellers to combine and manage sizes dynamically. Yes it sounds like basic functionality -embarrassingly so ;) - but the reality is it will only benefit a very small number of people.
The currency issue is actually on our immediate horizon but the issue isn't changing to sterling. It makes obvious sense to peg things to the most stable fiat currency and then display as many others as is practical but whatever we do sellers will need to constantly adjust prices relative to inflation and deflation and as sterling drops there is simply no way around this requirement.
So neither of these are going to make life much better but to write them now we would need to drop projects on our infrastructure. And while these projects are not very visible other wide-impact projects currently prioritized are:
Tags are long overdue on lb and we have an open source project that is making good progress you can watch. More features from open projects are still coming this year and will effect every bigga.
Anyway, we salute the initiative borg for their efforts and the advocates getting initiatives off the ground.

This makes sense but it would be nice to hear from you a little more, when there is no feedback people get frustrated and you get shitposting instead of the intelligence that is there waiting.
Sorry but a stock counter doesn't have much impact is all we've heard from this post and its so frustrating it has a massive impact as multiple users have stated in the post below, you say it doesn't interface with the sales but every other marketplace we've used has this feature! This site has been great in many other ways we find it laughable that this is your response to a serious problem, the only people it benefits are the admins as it never restricts sales so as long as the order is fulfilled with a substitute you guys get your cut, how can other places implement a stock counter as a basic feature but it to complex to work on this site, is that what we're meant to believe because we've seen simple methods that can easily avoid the above issues you've stated, so we see no reason not to add this feature but from your response you seem to think tags are the priority!
The fact that you use other marketplaces is their point. Sell a unit there and how will the inventory counter know here? It still comes down to you updating constantly.
No we understand their issue but the fact they think it won't make life better is laughable when theres a thread below with nothing but reasons arguing for it, obviously there is a way for it to pick up on a sale for both sites as Transaxe is fully capable of a similar process so its not really a valid reason for us but no sense arguing about it they obviously cant be bothered to even entertain the idea.
I've never seen anyone asking for advanced cross-platform functionality. Being able to pause sales automatically when the inventory sells through avoids the unprofessional friction of cancelling buyers purchases.
appreciate a dev post, but why do you think a stock updater will benefit few people?
sounds like it would benefit All sellers?
Ive been done by subs a few times, and that's just me? š¤
even if it needs some manual input from sellers, I'm not sure why if they bang in a hidden total and then just subtract the weight or stock number automatically when purchased once confirmed paid?
P. s. a polling system would also be a juicy update š

These are only our opinions, these and others will be heard in a rational initiative like the one outlined here. It can also refine what exactly we are trying to build and how that fits into what else we all need.
To add to this... I like the idea of an end of year awards thing just for a bit of fun. Top 3 vendors, top bargains, best flower/hash/cart/other etc.
If you changed the currency to sterling being that 95% or more of this sites traffic and customer base is from the UK, sellers wouldn't need to constantly change the price of listed items (not that they do anyway) and it would remove the need to do so
for instance , Ā£30 is always going to be Ā£30, inflation isn't affecting us in this sense, the only reason inflation and deflation affects us is because the prices are set in dollars... if you can't see how this benefits all of us can you please explain then why the sites currency is set to dollars? how are dollars benefitting anyone??
it's absolutely astonishing to me that this, and the stock counter is somehow not beneficial to many of us? it's one of the best and most important changes to ever happen to this site
I appreciate the reply and that you gave us some insights, and while things like 'tags' are a welcome change, they aren't saving anybody any money, and money is absolutely everybodys number 1 priority by a margin so big i can't think of an appropriate word to describe it, nothing can make our life better than saving us money!

Fully agree with everything here. Any opinions against changing to Ā£ not being a priority are completely deluded. I'll be honest in saying I sometimes use a different site on the darkweb for orders, which is based in Ā£s. I don't want my purchases to be a gamble. As a customer I want 35 quid to be 35 quid. Vendors won't have to continually keep altering prices. The one reason I shop here more is the community, reviews, variety and generally chilled discussions. However in testing times I want Ā£30 to be Ā£30 and not creeping up daily as I can buy quality weed at a stable price elsewhere.
Mate thanks for seeing sense! it's so crazy that people are still trying to gaslight me over this and try to pick holes in it.... absolutely unbelievable, and those people are getting upvoted as well, seriously it's not even delusion at that point it's just straight up stupidity
the amount of money that every single one of us has lost collectively since i started this subject a couple weeks ago will be in the 10's of thousands already, i'm so fucking tired of pouring my energy into this only to be gaslit and ignored, still waiting on a reply from the borg again too, bloody hopeless this is

huh? sellers will have to change prices *way more often* if they are set in an inflating currency like sterling. if you don't get this just go to the grocery store.
for the same reason that waitrose needs to change its prices, inflation. it takes more pounds to buy anything, there is no getting around this ;(
that's not how cannabis works though, it's not affected by inflation in the same way that groceries are, infact, cannabis has actually decreased in price during this massive inflation hike > ref the link
in 20 years of buying weed, i've never been told "sorry mate that's going to cost you an extra tenner today, cuz of inflation"
Ā£10 a gram is pretty standard pricing and it has been for over a decade, of course people sell grams at different prices, but this isn't because of inflation
sterling and dollars are equal in terms of stability, inflation is only affecting us because the sites currency is set to dollars, I cannot explain this any clearer.

This is ridiculous you know what the people want and don't want its clear for all to see, most people don't bother weighing in on these posts as they don't believe anything will change just stop messing about and make the changes!!!
from my p.o.v. i think its absurd to stop infrastructure or tags for everyone to have this but just bring it to a proper vote and we can find out.

Its 2022 not the 1990's why should we have to spend the evening messaging customers to tell them we've run out of stock, its really ridiculous that in this day and age there isn't a stock counter this must be a very simple feature that should be one of the first things the admin adds on any marketplace!

The amount of profit this site must take, it's mind boggling how simple changes that have been requested for years, still haven't been made.
Maybe I'm missing something, but is it not that simple to do?

It drives us crazy as we believe its a simple feature, any marketplace has a quantity section when listing a item and LB is the only exception, who knows Anon we must be missing something.
We can't see it benefiting anyone vendors struggle, customers are left disappointed and Transaxe have to process refunds in some cases, we don't know how its more talked about on the topics page :/

Last time this happened to me was with you guy's about a month or so ago. I ordered lemon punch which sold out so i recieved the lemon haze which was very nice but it must of been pure luck that you had a lemon strain to replace, in the past it has not gone so well with other vendors, for example receiving strains with pine terps when i ordered a sherbet strain which is a big disappointment for me.
If i was a vendor the one thing i would want was a stock count so i could program the amount of units and go off and do something else or at least concentrate on comms, i cannot believe there is no system in place and one of the main reasons that puts me off becoming a vendor along with the high fee's.

I joined LB after getting fed up of only being able to buy what my plug had available, which would inevitably be ammi.
Having discovered this amazing candy shop, I was glad to be able to buy what I wish to buy.
Not naming vendors but having had bud replaced when a strain has run out is quite frustrating. At least on the street I knew what I would be getting. This becomes a mystery box.
Alternatively when a vendor runs out they message you to advise on how to proceed. After all said and done the order which should have been with me in 2 days is now going to arrive after the weekend. Again really frustrating.
All this could easily be avoided by having a stock counter in place

Simple things like this should be in place hereā¦. It not only effects the vendors but the customers as well.
Iāve seen people get excited to try products but be let down (no fault of the vendors) and missed out..
Then on some occasions the vendor replaces said item with something in the same price range, but not what they wantedā¦ E.g. a haze when the buyer wanted an Indicaā¦. Then itās a lose lose situation for all involved :(

CI is bang on here.
One of the biggest features of LB is the choice you have, I spend stupid amounts of time browsing the wall i hear the phrase kid In a sweet shop used a lot and itās accurate. So letās use that youāve got your pocket money youāve spent hours squeezing the best bang for your buck and then you get sent something completely different that 9 times out of 10 you would of ordered had you of wanted it, it negates a selling point of little biggy and if itās that easily fixed surely itās a no brainier ?
On that note, Iāve just put in a 2nd order for your Gary Payton x runtz which is some of the most exquisite bud Iāve had in years and I think the first contender to the speaker knockers from supper Hans for best bud on biggy 2022.
Please donāt sub me lol, I may cry.

The stock counter matters to me because almost all of the replacements I've been sent over the years have been disappointing.
Not always bad but if you want a lemonade you get lemonade dig

I remember putting up a post about 2 years ago on this same topic of discussion, the fact nothing ever really gets done is absolutely mind blowing, having an online market without a stock counter is the most counter productive setup i could possibly imagine, it affected even my very brief stint as a vendor and it affects all vendors and all customers every day, and why???
i find it impossible to believe this site doesn't have an active admin of sorts, there's absolutely no way a market of this magnitude is just being left to run by the borgs, i'm not buying it for a second! so knowing this site is actively moderated makes it feel like even more of a kick in the bollocks when nothing gets done and we never get an explanation either!
i for one have also noticed these kinds of topics literally dissapear from the wall completely, and very quickly, whilst other topics remain! i'm sorry to partially hijack this topic with my topic but i also posted yesterday asking for yet again a VERY simple change that HUGELY benefits every single user of this site but the topic dissapeared from the wall not long after posting it so it's not getting seen anymore, so if you don't mind, i will link it here also!

The amount of times Iāve had to have an order swapped for something else as it ran out when I ordered is daft when thereās such a simple fix
Still a fairly new user, haven't been affected by a swap out yet (to my knowledge) but I wouldn't be happy with it. C'mon LB help everyone out
I agree completely we need a stock counter for vendors
What does that look like though? How much back end processing of data will be needed to monitor stock
How does the weird run/not run side of LB continue in its act of presenting a semi autonomous front if they suddenly start developing things? š§š¤·š»
But we definitely need a stock counter of some manner for vendors
I just feel that the Borg's that be might feel they prefer the current open can of "no counter" rather than the potential bottomless pit of development hell that any major service updates bring
Any how Stock Counter please Borg's š

Who do I have to suck off to make this happen too? This, dated posts and prices in Ā£s has been long over due. I get pissed off enough when Tesco substitute Jaffa cakes for Cillit Bang. A simple feature like this would make life easier for both vendors and customers. Let's make this happen borgs!
Having been on this lovely sight for years (multiple accounts) it has been an utter frustration to browse for a considerable amount of time only to find what you think would be the perfect strain/vendor only to be sent something completely different. Some vendors will do the right thing and let you know that they have sent you something different because of stock issues, but the majority do not!!
I no longer am able to indulge but still buy for my other half, and she is very particular in what she likes!
It is high time!!!! LB BORGS!!! fix it!!

Would help to make this site seem a bit more organised. Itās difficult to tell whatās in stock and I donāt want to waste money on a replacement product so it potentially puts people off from ordering.
I'd love a stock counter more than anything, i'm a fan of the site how it looks and operates but this is a very important step forwards.(the less legit this site looks the better imo, and i like the dollars too because of this, even if we lose out at times)
I've been caught out before when vendor had little stock and i'll sometimes choose the strain with the biggest quantities listed in a shop just because of this.
CI are great folks, they never get wall time, even when us biggas praise them it always falls from wall.
Please consider LB!š

I've not experienced this as of yet but definitely is an obviously need feature. That and changing pricing to Ā£ is what this site desperately needs. Other than that, so far my experience with LB is golden
A stock counter is a must. Helps stop problems before they occur, which means more happy customers and more happy vendors surely?

I fully agree with this having a stock counter could cause so many less unhappy customers that wouldn't have purchased from a vendor if they knew their favourite strain wasn't in stock. It isn't really fair to vendors either as there are some biggas that are impossible to please and will hold it against the vendor when in reality its unrealistic to expect vendors to sit at a screen every minute to take stock . It's also an easy way for dodgy vendors to take advantage and get rid of bud that nobody is choosing to buy. Seems like a feature that would benefit every bigga out there!

Iām shocked this doesnāt exist already! A fairly simple feature to implement that would have great benefits for all parties, ultimately even for the admins as Iād guess sales would increase. Letās get this done, for everyoneās sake
Stock counter makes perfect sense as there's no dates on posts so unless you get in early there's no guarantee that you'll actually get your preferred order placement.
Maybe the stock counter could be a sellers choice just in case they'd rather not disclose the amounts they have available for security or whatever?
I'd be happier knowing that the item I chose is the one I'd get as there's some strains I just don't like!

They can make a stock counter that doesn't publish the amounts
publicly and make it only visible to the vendor.
Unless you're saying vendors might not want to disclose the amount to LB, even if it is hiden from the users?

I have no idea if vendors would be happy saying they X amount tbh I was just thinking some may not like saying we got massive quantities purely from a security perspective.
I know from a buyers point that I'd much rather get the item I wanted rather than a different strain that's not to my liking, which is why I'd like a stock counter.
I'm not tech savvy so I have no idea whats possible and whats not.
Littlebiggy is an amazing site but there is always room for improvement!
Edit: With vendor choice of stock counter I ment the vendor could chose whether to implement the counter rather than be forced to use it.

This would be amazing - I know I've experienced a different bud being sent due to product being out of stock. Would also make the vendors lives a lot easier so they can keep tabs on inventory - pretty basic for all merchants to have some sort of IMS. I can definitely help if need be? Bless š
Honestly this should be should an easy fix for this website. Stock counter should be used. I've used this website countless times and have suffered from not having one.
Luckily yhe vendors have been very helpful in the situation but nether the less it would be amazing!
Many thanks

Completely agree with Canadian Imports, this issue is causing sellers the added stress and admin work to let buyers know they have run out of stock or to ask about selecting an alternative. A stock counter would take away this issue almost immediately as sellers can state exactly how much of a product is left.
Understandably there could be some work here for the devs, however a consultation with the community would soon elicit the requirements for this tool. It may not be perfect at first, but surely implementing something and iterating the technical features would be better than sitting on hands.
Thank you CI for raising this and hopefully gaining the attention it needs.

100% need a stock counter on this site. Completely agree itās should be an easy feature to implement. Also would love to see dates on comments and posts, and a search feature. Big respect Canadian Imports for providing a great service and all around great products.
Stock counter needed for sure..
-Happier less stressed vendors won't need to replace or refund
- more content buyers getting product they want for purpose required
-stickier LB getting more fees for better experiences

Ive had it before ordering something on LB waiting with such excitement only for what arrives to be nothing like what i ordered. Cant fault the vendor really...if it runs out it runs out but at the same time its not my fault either now im smoking some deadd bit i dont want. Vendors/buyers are a team we need eachother why LB tryna put walls between us like no stock counters or no time stamps on topics :-/

Would be a helpful tool for both vendors and buyers. Buyers could see what's actually available and not have their order or part of their order subbed if the item has gone.
Vendors can then have a smoother selling process which ultimately results in repeat customers and more transactions. It's a win win. A percentage of stock available, something like that.

This is one of the few issues on here that really frustrates customers and sellers. Itās a bit of a joke that you can spend so long picking a specific item only to receive something different, through no fault of the vendor.
Itās bastard to get the wrong thing, and Iām sure itās a bastard having to send something that customers havenāt asked for.
Get the finger out LB admin!!

If take this over post date / time and thats saying something!!!
As a buyer, I've been done by this a few times.
Literally as my order is being processed the stock is gone and even though the vendor updated the post text, I was never to know.
thankfully my vendors have had something similar but would be pissed if I got a sativa over indica for instance.
Also, this hammers Sellers ratings.
I've read probably 1000s of reviews and many knock points off for a sub that was out of the vendors control!!!
"Weed is great but didn't get what I ordered so it's an 8"
And that's the nice ones, some slam them with 1s which must fuck your average, more so if new or not 1000s of sales.
We don't ask for much, and the site must make enough bank for a Web dev to sort this functionality, I doubt its even hard or long to do tbh!!
Shout out to CI for starting this thread and keep it going Biggas

Mad respect to CI for pushing this envelope ā using giveaways as a means to incentivise is a galaxy brain move. Iāve had my share of substitutes, and it can be really disheartening when youāre expecting a product you never receive. LB admin, there must be someone tech-minded you can consult for this stuff! Features like stock counters are basic for business sites and even IT students could install them with ease. Thanks again CI, Iāll be dreaming of that sweet 14g š„²
CI give us the legendary āAmazon levelā service, I think you deserve the back end tools to do your jobs more efficiently.
Whatās the scenario when youāre down to the last few Oz of a particular strain on a Friday evening or Saturday afternoon and you want to do something else? do you have to keep logging in all weekend to check if youāve nearly sold out or something?

A stock counter would be great, thanks for raising, missed out on too many special items by delaying buying as I had no idea stock was so limited.
Hi there. A stock counter would help vendor and patrons. Nothing worse than ordering something as tasty as Mimosa and without the vendors fault receiving Stardawg. Im only a buyer but can see the issues sellers have, especially when running low on a particular strain. Would be better if item auto removed itself after the predetermined weight had reached its end and stop buyers getting different stock. I wish everyone luck in the prize draw, but myself slightly more ;)
