how much does a decent vendor make on DNMs?

Do they make so much that they're realistically never gonna have to work a day in their life? While there are a few busts it seems like they all seem to not really get caught and are able to retire in peace. I'm pretty sure that I did see one talking about how he retired with 4000 BTC....isn't that like $1 MIL? jesus

It surely is enough money for them to risk life in prison and chemical castration. It also depends on what the vendor aims to: domestic or international?

I'm sure JOR has enough money to operate his own stock in wall street.

Im not sure how you think we make so much that we're realisticcally never gonna have to work a day in our lives. I work 6 days a week! Vending, I mean....

$100k a year, around 2 hours of work a day, every day? Sure. I'm not that far from that.

4000 BTC? That's probably true, but it took that guy a long time to save that up. And he probably got a lot of them when BTC was worth a lot less. Problem here: He cant cash it all out easily. Bitcoin may collapse eventually. Then what?

It's all relative, and you may be oversimplifying things.

First off, at what level do you consider a vendor "decent"? You can identify a few vendors that the level you think are "decent" and then do the math yourself.

There are 3 types of vendors (maybe more): (1) those who produce their own product, (2) those who procure product irl from someone, and (3) those who import via dn transactions and resell. Each comes with its own overhead costs and varying risks.

Then there's volume of sales, size of the individual sales, and shipping costs. If the vendor's volume is high but he/she's only selling small quantities at a time, while that would generally increase profit margins (as prices per gram generally decrease as quantity purchased increases), that would increase shipping costs and time it takes to prepare and drop the packs for delivery. Packaging and decoy materials are not free either (besides usps envelopes and boxes).

There's also the no show and/or re-ship factor, which I'm not sure how you'd quantify, but, while probably minimal, vendors do take hits from these scenarios.

So from there, just pick a vendor and look at his/her feedback on the various markets, add up the gross sales, subtract the estimated overhead per unit sold, estimate costs of shipping/packaging, and an estimated cost for reships at wholesale value (i.e. you've already accounted for the profit from the original sale, but when a vendor reships, it merely reduces his/her stock, which would be considered a loss), and you should then be able to get an idea of what they're making on the markets. Of course, many deals are done through DD, so there's no way to account for that.

Finally, retiring in peace on 4,000 BTC (which is over $3 mil. USD, by the way) isn't that simple of a proposition. If you want to live in American (or probably any country America has an extradition treaty with), you would need to cash out the BTC anonymously, which takes time, effort, and additional costs, and launder it, which takes probably more time, effort, and costs (including paying taxes and professionals (e.g. accountant, lawyer, etc.)). Even if you're super smart and careful at every step of the process, it could someday catch up to you, so I wouldn't necessarily consider it a "peaceful retirement".

My advice if you want to be a vendor is to keep a full or part time job that affords you the time to deal with the vending business, start small (but have enough stock to maintain a moderately thriving business), have perfect OPSEC, cash out sporadically, frequently, and anonymously, and only use those funds for cash transactions (i.e. don't commingle them with your legitimately earned funds that you're hopefully paying tax on). You would be amazing how much you can legitimately save when you're only using dirty cash to pay for groceries, gas, clothing, restaurants, and anything else that doesn't require a paper trail (e.g. car, rent/mortgage, insurance, credit card, etc.). Keep the rest stashed away somewhere safe.

If your vending ultimately becomes very profitable, you shouldn't buy a mansion or a Ferrari with your ill-gotten gains, but if you saved enough legitimately, you could start a business through which you launder your money from vending. In this event, be careful and find good professional representation, and then one day you may be able to retire reasonably comfortably.

I think succesfull medium sized vendors earn over 100k a year, top vendors selling lots of different drugs probably a million or so per year. then everything in between.
