[GeneralQuestions] How big could a dealer realistically get from the DNM?

I was just thinking that if your became a drug dealer and used DNM's as your main supply how big could you go.

I imagine not very as it would become obvious very quickly and you would need a few different houses that your product could be shipped to. Also it would also be not always reliable as customs could seize a big order witch would be a big problem.

Anyway what are you opinions on this?

Customs is always a problem when importing drugs. If your operation gets too big for regular mail, then you could setup guys in the foreign country, get it domestically and send it in a shipping container with your own custom stealth. I think getting 1kg of coke/mdma/heroin per week is manageable through regular mail though. You just need to setup your structure so if a package gets snatched it won't be a problem for you legally and financially.

I could imagine if you find the right supplier, there is a demand for your product, etc. You could become pretty big. Like there's a couple vendor that I know that sell only a pound+ of weed. If you came back consistently every week, I'm sure the vendor would make a custom listing for you of 5+ pounds.

If the product was good, your stealth, communication, etc. There will be a demand, which means you will need more product. So then you get 10+ pounds. It just becomes an infinite circle.

The thing about using the DNM's as your source is that they arent stable, and neither are many of the vendors. This can ruin your businesses reputation, obviously.

Anyway, it would be easy to become "big" with weed, however, not many vendors sell in bulk with the harder drugs. Nor do they want to, because they can make a LOT more money with selling in smaller quantities. Plus many of the vendors that sell harder drugs are on the lower end of the chain, and are still working their way up.

Take /u/AlexSosa1KG for example. In his early days of vending on the DNM's he was only selling stamps of heroin. Then .5's, now a gram minimum. Same with his coke. .5's, grams, then eighth's.

To answer your question, a vendor can become pretty big if their is a demand for the product, and you have the right source.

I'm fairly sure that some of them are millionaires.

AKA House of Spirits and some of those EU vendors who flip the MDMA

How would it be very obvious? I think selling over a DNM is the safest way to sell, by far. No crackheads to rat you out, no chance of the cops watching you as you pass off a package. Of course it comes down to OPSEC.

I think this is almost an impossible question to answer, it would vary so much.

Xanax King..... Bungee54.......JesusofRave.....ItalianMafiaBrussels Massive fucking operations. Teams of people making insane amounts of money. I wish someone could tally up how much Xanax King made, then we guesstimate costs, and see approximate profits

I've never seen a listing for more than 2 kilos so... do that math (not very big but significant)

If trying to grow your op, I would imagine you'd move off market pretty quickly. There are likely people who will do larger deals off market, where they can guarantee they won't be screwed. You'd have to build a relationship with someone who could get the bulk you want at the price you want it.

One way to look at it is that as a seller, your main LE threat seems to be your packages being backtracked and surveillance on the post offices or the personnel recognizing you. So how many post offices do you need to spread your packages over, or perhaps one should say, how many sorting facilities/hubs do you need to diversify over? And then driving needs to be factored in: the more you drive, the more you risk a traffic stop and also the more money/time you are wasting. It seems more than a few packages a week at a post office and you're risking notice/profiling/trouble, so if customers order monthly then you can see you're fairly limited on how many customers total you can have.

Theoretically you might make it as far as you can. But talking about it would be the biggest mistake you could make
