Does anon think it would be profitable for a small, but honest (or so he or she may say) seller to vend cannabis items of significant rarity and quality on DNM?
Of course it would not be logical for that vendor to assume that they will quickly rise up to the top of the DNM foodchain, but would such trade yield small-moderate profit? Of course such a seller would be from an area in which cannabis is legal therefore allowing for exotics (such as DNA Tangie, which tastes very, meaning VERY citrusy) to arise.
Of course such seller will have no previous reviews and certain promotions must be held. One of such promotions would be an inexpensive sampler pack of 3-4 exotics, all in small amounts, making the uncertain purchase carry much less of a risk.
Giving free samples is absurd to most new sellers, since the system will be abused and does not guarantee positive reviews (occasional shills, lost orders etc.). Although, nondeliveries should be rare if the seller does proper research and develops solid OPSEC and stealth.
Slowly gaining a userbase thus developing a sense of public(anonymous) trust, the seller may eventually progress into selling intermediate amounts of the aforementioned exotics putting oneself ahead of some of the competition. Therefore following proper precautions and providing good service and product quality at a reasonable price and shipping speed such seller's aspirations are not completely futile.
Would the DNM board lurkers agree with this logic, or does anon think the market's being saturated with average-joe cannabis products at dirt cheap with vendors at 4.900+ with 500+ transactions would retard the aspiring vendor's goals in achieving moderate profit?

Ugh, your trying to avoid incriminating yourself just makes the questions hard to read. Anyway, here's a few points:
Yes, you will profit selling your plants on the markets.
Cheap samples for your first 10-20 orders will start your business up okay. The more feedback you have, the more orders that will pour in. Your sales are directly proportional to the number of sales you have, so jump starting your business with cheap sales is necessary.
For your sample packs you'll be getting home users buying, they're pretty picky about shipping and stealth methods. Shining here will increase both the likelyhood of a review being done and of people wanting to buy from you in the future. People look for good stealth vendors, and many people are willing to pay extra for quality stealth.
Yes, if you're willing to use good opsec, quick shipping and GREAT STEALTH you'll do fine on the markets.
