Quick question:
Would you front someone on SR to move your product?
Scenario: Got a couple lbs wanted to push them in different areas, but need a contact in the areas...would you trust someone to do this off of SR?
-
Depends, there's all kinds of people here. There's honest business people here, and there are scammers. So it's doable, with the right person.

Yeah I figured the leeches would be lurking by! :-\
Im considering it, I mean if there was a way to find solid people, we could make some good money

pmed ya

I got you! ;D

Certainly, but obviously you would need to be very choosy. It seems like there are dealers who treat dealing as a business. Meaning you're good on your word, and you deliver over and over again. Win-Win for both parties. But of course you have the people who think they're tough thugs, listening to gangster rap, and trying to fuck over people any chance they get. For instance I can honestly say that I have never shorted ANYONE or scammed anyone in my dealing. However I've talked with other dealers that literally talk about that all the time. It annoys me very much, but what can you do. In the end those who do the latter often end up with many enemies.

Get ready for about 200 PMs from people wanting you to front them product now!

LMAO!!! I hope not. I dont get the joy in scamming people once when you can have repeat and steady business. Its like 5 dollars now or 50 over little time. I can't believe that vendors would plot on their clients. Crazy I dont plot on my consumers, I plot on the game! How can I keep the masses happy and be fruitful? :-\

I am not well-versed yet with SR, but fronting is always a game of risk-analysis and a diverse *portfolio*. I was a dealer for three years and a distributor for many more in my region, and the biggest thing I learned was to never front more than I could lose (or care to lose). I would develop a relationship with the buyers, and if they asked for a front I would TYPICALLY refuse. After some time, I got tired of meeting them every three days and would tell them to bring me $7k, and receive $14k of product (for example).
I never fully trust anyone, ever. I've done it before and have been burned way too many times. It would appear that not many people realize, as I am sure you DO realize, that making $7k extra today by taking my product and running isn't worth the $70k they could've made in just a few months.
Find people who seem educated, talk rationally, have habits you can recognize, and you should be OK. You can always go out on a whim and give a front to someone, with the hopes of developing a relationship, if you just have that gut feeling about them. Obviously you would want to give them a smaller portion, but enough for them to make a solid buck so that they can soon come back to you with their OWN money.
Also, on that last note, if you continually front someone and they don't end up having cash pretty fast, you can infer that they have a financial problem, a drug problem, a shopping problem, etc.
Be careful, be smart, and be forgiving. You WILL get burned on fronts; but like I said first, it is all risk-analysis and having a diverse clientele.
*NOTE: I did NOT distribute any hard drugs, only green. It is a much more casual market, and I can only offer advice/opinion from my past experiences.
Best of luck to you!

wow if I were setting on some of that gdp every so called friend I got would be coming over. The details is something to talk about tho. Like how much would I have to charge my peeps for it to be worth me taking the risk so I could get you paid for? I'm all about keeping my word even if I had to take it out of my pay check. I wouldn't want it to set for too long and depreciate but I do have a couple buyers in mind but I'd only want to front an ounce for starters but then after that got tasted it would be on like donkey kong
I always take pictures and keep in communications with my bosses letting them know how much I got left and send a payment weekly or depending ya know
-
Im shooting the idea around to see what the pros and cons that I didnt think of were.
See I was wondering if an interested party would buy a minimum of a qp and I shoot them a hlf....could I trust them on the front or would they consider it a come up on free product?????? I personally feel if you cant afford to put something up anyway than you arent right for the project.

what product ? maybe i'm interested.
