This is a long shot but nothing tried, nothing gained?
This is what I am proposing. I want you to invest in me as a vendor. Every time I start to build up a little money towards starting a vendor account something happens. Car breaks down, kids get sick, tuition is due, etc. I've tried selling locally to start the initial fund up but recently lost quite a bit of money on an item lost in shipment. My buyer account has great stats and the vendor I bought from says in his profile that he offers no refund on international shipments. He is a reputable vendor so I am not worried about selective scamming. I know the SR staff probably have allotted me some kind of refund but I honestly feel that it is all part of the game. I could build back up selling locally but to be honest I'm not very comfortable doing it.
Enough of the sob story and on to what I propose.
I am looking for investors to help me start. I was thinking of putting forth terms that would be acceptable to me but feel that you, as the investor, would be taking a serious risk in this venture and should be the one to propose terms to me. Broad ideas are either a flat return on your initial investment or your initial investment plus a percentage of sales for a set time frame.
I am open to all offers but I am not desperate. I will not even consider outrageous offers. I am looking to provide us both a return on our labor/investments not support you as an indentured servant.
I am looking to provide Amphetamines and Ketamine domestically here in the USofA. Possible more in the future but initially I see those as open markets. The MDMA market is highly competitive in my opinion for a new vendor to get started in. I would be buying in internationally then selling domestically.
I have researched packing/shipping and have already invested in those required items. My packing would be vacuum with MBB over it. I have two ideas on stealth and I'll rotate on them. One is a commonly used one that I found to be adequate and one that is relevant to my area allowing me access to real bushiness return address's as well as equipment to do so. I think its rather clever personally!
The problem with me asking for investors this way is that I can provide you with no assurances that I can think of. I can offer that my buyer account as somewhat of an assurance but that's not really to much...
I am not willing to offer personal info unless you were an TOP vendor with a long history and good stats. I know its not the best but figure that is a risk I would have to take as you would be taking a greater one.
I have some money towards it but I am asking the bulk from you. I am thinking about $1500 would be needed to start. That allows me to open the account and buy my initial product. I won't be able to afford a lot but I can always turn that product around and keep re-investing minus whatever our agreement would be.
I would prefer a single investor but would be willing to do 3-4 smaller investors. Call this kickstartr SR-style!
I know this is a long shot but maybe there is someone out there willing to give me a chance. I expect to pay out a large return on this for the chance your taking. If you have any questions feel free to ask in this thread or msg me personally.
Let the flame began! ;*

There have been quite a few threads/offers like those in the past and usually it did not end too well for the investor... the anonymity of this place brings out the scammer in people that would otherwise not attempt to rip off people due to fear of getting caught/fucked up...
It seems you're having quite some trouble being successful with selling drugs so I guess that's not the best outlook for a potential investor.
Also your business idea is pretty risky since you rely on an international shipment coming through to you ... if it gets seized or if you get scammed by the vendor you're going to buy it off you're in trouble again.. well not that much actually since you can still just close your account and not get back to your investor(s) and you won't have lost anything... see where I'm going with this?
It's too damn risky due to several reasons and even though 1500$ is not a lot of money especially for some of the larger vendors but still more than most would be willing to put at risk without any securities.
Revealing your buyer account is not a good idea if you're going to open up a vendors account... some vendors might be able to reveal your identity due to previous orders and stored customer data (although everyone says they don't store customer data I've had one experience that showed me that this is not always the case..) and if you're becoming a large and successful vendor some might have a motivation to do so or are more or less forced to in order to save their own ass in case they get busted once .. so don't do that. It's better to not make any money at all than making money while putting your freedom at risk.
I still might be able to help you out though or at least know someone who might be interested in helping you out although it would be a bit different than what you expect right now but the terms would still be fair I guess... I'll contact that someone and the rest is up to you guys, he'll at least do me a favor and talk to you, might not work out between you two but it's a possibility.
How much money do you have to start off with? Enough to upgrade to a vendor account?
Expect to receive a PM in no more than a few hours...

Actually, selling drugs locally is not all that bad for me. I could have expanded fairly quickly giving my proximity to a fairly large college town. The risk in selling to students though is very high. They will always cooperate with the police if busted. I am doubling my money almost locally but its not worth the risk to me. I only deal with a few trusted individuals but that is slow when it comes to turn around.
I addressed the purchasing account issue in the post. I agree that it is risky but feel that one of the few ways of communicating by sincerity is to expose myself slightly. And as I said it would only be to a reputable vendor that has some history in both here and the forums.
I am open to most offers. Someone else has contacted me with possible selling via his account with some assurances put in place. I would prefer to have my own but have to start somewhere.
The vendor I would make my purchases from offers 100% reship on his product in case of no-show. Highly reputable vendor. One more paycheck and I could possible open a vendor account. If I felt that I could open and posses product to sell then I would be willing to extend myself a little farther and say yes.
I tried to keep my investment low as possible. This allows me to minimize your risk but still gives me enough room to allow me to build up to larger orders overtime/success-fulness.
I look forward to hearing from you and any others!
