either buy quick before removed, or is it a 'sting' ?

This seller is around already for quite some time. I'm quite sure it is not a sting, but it is not interesting to me, because of the insanely high prices.

I've seen this guy on ebay for quite a while selling all these things so I doubt he'll get removed.

I was curious as to what the penalties are for possession of a regulated substance without a licence in the UK. Up to two years in jail for supplying !!! The details are complicated.

Apparently the UK has a watch list too that lists ammonia greater than 10%, HCl greater than 10% and acetone to name only a few.

Big Brother is getting even bigger. I doubt the government can afford manage it all successfully.

I recently found out that methylene chloride was not available to the general public anymore in the UK (My supplier is APC Pure).
It came as a sad surprise as I had a few interesting extractions in mind :-/

Big Brother is watching and ignorance is no defence!

I came across this vendor today. He sells mostly innocuous stuff, but HF and HNO3, how does he get away with that? Maybe the laws in Italy don't prohibit it. I've noted that the ebay vendors which have by far the most diverse and impressive inventories of organic compounds are in Estonia. Most other vendors have a small handful of organic compounds such as benzaldehyde, simple alcohols, and common solvents. But I came across 3 Estonian vendors that have all kinds of things. I also came across this German vendor which has some cool things such as indole acetic acid. Not sure if I'd be breaking any rules to list these vendors here.
