[GeneralQuestions] Are you making real money doing this?

I'm a grower on the east coat and thanks to the dipshit pot laws in my state, I'm stuck selling my stuff to a small group of dealers. A couple months back one of my regulars got his dumbass busted (don't date strippers guys, seriously) which of course meant I had to shut down operations for months to make sure he didn't give me up to LE.

Here's the question...I grow good stuff and wholesale at a good prices. I'm a small operation though, so I'm stuck selling to the same cavalcade of dumbasses because the bigger buyers don't have that use for me. I have a 9-5 in IT, I'm up to speed on my opsec...I'm a noob in some ways, but not in others. Am I going to make the same money if I jump onto BB or Agora and start selling there? Do I have to hand out samples to get myself established? The way I see it is I'm taking a risk dealing with my local people,...moving to the Darknet is just transferring that risk. I need to understand though if the money is worth it.

If your vending/stealth/security is very good, i believe there is significantly less risk than dealing with people on the streets, assuming you also don't tell anyone anything about this.

There is money to be made, however there is competition in the weed market. A lot of vendors have pretty good stuff for 160-200 an o. Very good stuff from 200-250 an o.

If you can compete with those prices, in a market where they take 4% of your sales, and you're bound to face some loss somewhere, then yeah it might be a good idea.

If you think you're ready for it all, know all of your opsec shit, know all of your stealth shipping stuff, etc, then you can post here offering samples or on the DNM or something else to get attention. If you grow good stuff for a good price and have great stealth, no doubt you will get a lot of orders.

One thing no one mentioned is a BTC buyer so you can cash out. If you don't have one or can't find one, then it's pointless.

You will need to offer free samples to get a starting customer base, there are already plenty of vendors offering cannabis so it might be a little hard to get an established clientele. Then you would need to factor in related costs like travel (never ship from the city you live in), shipping supplies, refunds/reships, and time spent replying to messages and processing orders.

Vending on the DNM is pretty much a full-time/part-time job in itself, depending on how much weight you plan on moving. My advice would be to set a goal to meet each month and not go over that. So if you want to move 2lb, set up listings that total 2lb. Met that goal within the first two weeks of the month? Now you can relax for the next two.

What does a crop yeild for you?

IMO giving out samples is stupid. Just put your listings up. People will buy them eventually and you'll develop a repuration based on your product and service.

The money is worth it, hence why people are opening up vendor accounts everyday.

Weed on darknet is an oversaturated market, but you can still make sales if you have competative pricing.

Sell on darknet and the street. If you can assemble a small team, you can coordinate drop sites, stash houses, and other infrustructure to increase opsec.

Your goal should be to phase out street dealing and sell exclusively on darknet, but that may take time as you build a reputation.

As a weed buyer, the 1 thing I appreciate the most from new vendors is when they put up a picture with proof (i.e. username written beside). It takes out the "this vendor has no reviews am I going to be getting brick weed" factor.

What strains do you have?

I'm in East Coast.. if you can match West Coast dealers and offer BHO or CO2 for resonable price shipped I'll support you.

I'm cheap!

First question, how did you write your post?

Did you just make a new account and post away? Did you connect to a VPN, then mAke a new account and post? Or did you connect and do all that through Tor?

If one of the either of the first two, I would say rethink everything.

With these type of questions we can tell you are retarded. You make money selling pot on the streets why wouldn't you here? Sadly there is already too many people like you who think they charge a "fair" price for their "good" weed when in all reality we are paying too much for the shit you can't get in a stores shelves.
