Im back on the road after a long vacation and I don't have quite the response that I did over the summer. What do bulk cannabis prices need to be to get the stuff to move? By bulk I mean a half pound or more. Please be reasonable. I can't do indoor for 2k a p I pay more than that for it.

Over here, if you buy directly off a grower, pounds of high quality strains e.g kush's etc..etc.. go for 1800-2000, (I pay no more than 1700 for top grade stuff and no more than 2800 for medical) the problem is finding growers who are more into the passion of growing vs profit/selling for greed, believe it or not there are people that love growing and making a little extra on the side and don't boost prices like crazy.
Problem with what you are doing assuming from your statement is you say you get it for 2k minimum per pound it leads me to think you buy off a grower, am I right? you will never have 'GOOD' prices on bulk that way unless you buy 20lbs + off a big grower, but that doesn't mean you can't have fair prices compared to other SR vendors, since you aren't a grower, every hand that the pound passes through = less profit for buyer vs you being the grower and the buyer = 2nd owner. I don't know your strains but depending on quality if you can do 2500-3200 a lb you should have an easy time making sales, 3500+ for purple kush for example is just not worth it.
If 2500-3200 a lb max is too little profit for you then I would say don't stick with bulk unless you are willing to build clients who clear a few pounds a week off you because in that case it will add up. Try sticking with QP's and under until you build bigger fan base then offer pounds and hopefully by that time your supplier will have a lower price for you as well :)
Happy Holidays and hope this helped.

Ya thats exactly what my prices are I charge 25 for greenhouse 28 for light dep and 32 for indoor and Ive only had a few bites. Im not sure if I should lower my prices or break it down into qp s. If I do lower my prices I want things to move.

If that is the case then you need to market yourself, send out some free samples if you haven't (or at least have the samplers provide shipping costs) if you haven't done samples recently I recommend it though, publicity is publicity on these forums and if you make one person happy, another will catch interest and so on and so on and your reviews will wrack up.
if you break it down into QP's and are in fear of things not moving as fast as you want, in my opinion (others feel free to chip in your own 2 cents) Advertise your new QP orders with a introductory price and offer 5 free samples of 1-1.5 grams, those 5 people will do the work for you if you think about it, as long as you can honestly say your product is worthy of great reviews all you have to do is wait for it to arrive and those 5 people will market it for you on a review thread.
You can always keep your 1lb listings while having QP listings and lower i.e: 3.5g, 7g, 14g, 28g and so on until a QP. A lot of people are charging a crap ton for 1g I see some going for over 25$ and it isn't even medical grade or looks appealing at all, so if you do $15 a gram you should have things moving for you fairly nice, even $10 a gram flat as an introductory sample price and only offer 1 sample per person (note who orders a sample so they don't just buy sample orders off you every time to rip you off lol)
Those are just some ideas, I plan to become a vendor and I have plans to help out those on a budget who want top quality weed/coke but I still am doing my research on international shipping.
-
If you decide to lower your prices, and lower them enough, i would have no problem buying 2 or 3 lbs a week from you.
-
so what kind of numbers are you looking for
-
I'm looking to do 2-5lb of brand name shit a week, at that volume I would do like 2300-2600 per lb
-
so what kind of numbers are you looking for
Somewhere in the 2k- 2200ish range would keep me coming back for multiple lbs once, maybe twice a week. Usually what i have done is eventually once im comfortable with the vendor i would work up to a solid 5 lbs a week and keep it at that.

+1 for Heizen he knows business. 100% agree on samples and how others can market for you
good job on you sour for willing to improve.. vendors like that last longer.
-
A newbie can't give a +1
Show me where samples ever worked? Maybe sell small quantities for samples, but free samples? They rarely post a review for the vendor. Who is going to trust that review?
I'm happy he is a known good vendor willing to stay in escrow. I would like a taste too, but I don't see that ever working over the long run.
Regular known good customers are the way to go. You need buzz in your review thread. Escrow draws my respect, and so doesn't his flawless history.

look up most coke thread free sample thread reviews, those are classic example of invest in samples and get clients, you can always find a vendor offering free samples in exchange for reviews and I haven't seen a free sample ever do HARM to a vendor unless the vendor was blatantly selling fake product or lying about quality, other than that it usually snowballs good reviews and brings business in through word of mouth, free sample is > no sample. No sample will serve you no purpose, a sample can only help you as a new vendor.
impossible to say free samples as a way of getting your product and name out there is 100% never worked, the proof you ask for is everywhere in the forums.
P.S I think MrAllWhite meant +1 as in he just agrees lol.

With all due respect I think your rep might have taken a dive when you said Silk Road is going to be busted on your profile and advised everyone to do cash in the mail orders, after supposedly sending out bad batches of hash.

Yeah. He went into stealth mode to retain customers that he could sell off site through the mail through, and apparently sold some low grade batches of hash before leaving a notice on his profile saying Silk Road wasn't for him, something about security and reading an article somewhere. That's my interpretaion of it. I bought some bulk greenhouse from him on my buyer account and it was "ok" for the time of year, not harvest season by any means.
