Title: Prices on the SR
Post by: JeffBobb on May 21, 2013, 05:47 am
Is it just me or are about 3/4 of the drugs here on the SR WAYYYYYY FUCKING OVERPRICED?!?!?!   I mean - I can get a gram of REAL GOOD fucking blow for $80 where Im at and there is - im sure comparable- shit goin on here for like $150 a G.   And when my DMT goes on sale here in the next couple of weeks i sure as fuck don't plan on charging $180 - $200 a G for it.  I guess it's all about location - and quality for some of you - Im sure.  Not that Im gonna try and kill the market, don't get me wrong.  But Fuck - Any thoughts or comments?

From what I've seen a lot of things seem to be all over street prices.  The big advantage appears to be the consistent high-quality product that appears to be available from the trusted vendors.

Yeah, I guess you got a point there.  It's not always consistent nor reliable in the Real World.  I just can't imagine ever payin $150 for a gram of blow, or $200 for a G of DMT is all.  But this place is always here when you need it i suppose.

I agree, on reason i dont buy from SR is that there are not any good deals. Being from major US city i can get plenty of drugs for about the same price. But! SR seems to be more for people who live in areas where its hard to get drugs and for them the prices on SR would be very far. The only real value ive seen on SR is La Fuente and because of it he is all ways drowning in orders.

Double danny666.
In my location you could get some kind of chemical bullshit instead of hash for LARGER price than from SR. RC sellers use clearnet forums as a marketplace - how can I trust them? For me and my friends SR is a "Klondike", but, of course, these prices couldn't impress dudes from Netherlands or Czech Republic.

Thanks to SR I can get strong, clean L for less than $10 a hit!

In my area I have paid 12 and 15 dollars a hit for some dirty ass research chemical!

There are many reasons for buying at SR compared to the street, depending where you live - my thing is cocaine (love of my life) and here we cant get any
decent blow AT ALL - it is cut so much that its like snorting baking powder or creatine - so paying 80 EUR a G for that I rather pay EUR 100 for some very good quality blow
on SR - I pay between 05 - 110 EUR per gram depending on bitcoins etc. etc.

Another matter is that I am not comfortable going on the streets here - the police are insane (underfunded, stupid) but if they catch you.........
Yet another matter is that I am so fucking lazy, I mean the convenience of buying you blow at "dirty ebay" is just cracking me up every time.

But if I were living in a location where there was good blow available and a "decent" dealer around of course I would go there.

XTC pills are worth a few cents out here if you know the right people. High quality as well.

SR is good for LSD, mdma, K and a few other less easy to obtain substances.

What its not good for is Blow, RX stuff and IMO heroin.

The Road has its pros and cons, like anything else in life. Take it for what it is. If you have the means to crush the competition with your great numbers, by all means.

If I wasnt so jamd up IRL on my bills, I would use my network to do just that. Set up shop, and crush all the competition with top shelf gear, at rock bottom prices. Though ive heard many instances of established sellers trying to strong arm their competition into  adjusting their prices according to those of all the other vendors. Such nonsense.

Here are a few reasons:
- SR charges a fee on every order (5-10% depending on the goods I believe)
- Packaging items takes up time: Time is money
- If packages get seized through postal/customs your out your product
- Time consumed answering PMs, creating item descriptions etc etc.

Its much easier to deal in RL, as you spend a lot less time per deal, but overall the personal risk decrease+extra cash makes up for the time spent.

I think prices in SR are comparable to street prices, at least where I live. One of the main benefits from SR is that for substances sold by the weight, sellers usually provide the full amount. I've gotten shortchanged a few times from street sellers!

I've found quality on SR usually good, but not necessarily the best, despite buying from vendors with positive reviews. I have been able to buy better quality stuff locally.

But the convenience of shopping online of SR is unbeatable!

Mostly the prices seem good to me.  But don't forget depending on how the vendor sets things up you may or not see SR's cut until it's in your cart.

Where I am, Pills/MDMA are cheaper on SR than on the street.

Couple of crap experiences of buying pills in clubs that just left me with a nagging sense of disappointment that spoiled the dancing pointed me towards the Road, and the quality/price ratio I have encountered has been great. Christ, the cost of travelling across town, then buying a couple of drinks while doing an exchange for some pretty crap 'MDMA" at a bar, well that all has to be factored in too. And where else could I get hold of decent LSD these days?

I'm too long in the tooth to hang with people who have the drug thing as part of their daily activities, knowing prices, who's holding etc, and I don't want to anymore. But it is only XTC, LSD and hash that I want anyway (I can pick my own shrooms), and my partner and I only do these things now and then, and at festivals, so a bit of a mark-up suits me to efficiently go on my laptop and sort it out in advance, there and then.

It does seem that for stimulants and downers there is more of a price issue for the buyers because a little bit of difference in price adds up to a lot if they are using regularly, so I can't comment on that. But for me convenience, complete anonymity, and quality make sense for my purchases.

I remember whole nights lost when I was younger trying to arrange things, waiting in bars spending money on drinks hoping for the phone call/connection that didn't come, and while I can look on that with dewy-eyed nostalgia now, what a pain in the butt it was at the time.

So SR gets my vote for price and efficiency, and the little skanks round the side of the convenience store can still call out to me to buy their second-rate weed while I buy a bottle of nice wine to drink with my lovely girl and smoke some top grade hash.

Progress, ya gotta love it   :)

Depends what street you live on, bro. Lately, I've been getting $250 halves of what can only be described as a low-mid-grade(?) i guess. It isn't mexi-brick and smells like dank. It's my only hook-up and I'm in my 30s now. That makes it hard to connect. It makes about 2-3 bags in my volcano with almost completely transparent vapor. It gets me high, for a few minutes. So, no, for me, not overpriced. I could flip a $300 oz for double (or triple, sold by the g) if I wanted to, here. Last year, I came across some true, sticky, White Rhino and paid through the nose at $35/g. It was worth every penny to me, at the time. I wish I'd heard about SR a LOOOONG time ago. Waiting for my cherry-poppin' order right now. Purple Diesel, can't wait.  8)

Also, I'm not sure what RC I ate when it was presented to me as acid (well, I KNOW I ate a sweet tart with a glob of something on it). My guy was CERTAINLY not vetted by the avengers, rofl. Yes, I had a bad time. Real acid, I had a GREEEAT time.

It definitely seems like it JB. I think you are right about location too. Where I'm from I can get an OZ. of REALLY good weed for as low as $100, and on the road I've seen 1/4OZ. go for $100. Needless to say, where I'm from there is a plethora of really good herb! I usually don't even pay for it anymore! Now coke and pills that's a different story. My friend and I split an 8-ball a couple weeks ago, and it ran us $280. That's spendy compared to what we paid a couple years ago, but it's no fuckin $150 a gram. That's just  WAY too expensive. Don't ever pay that much!

Cheers,
ChinoCat

OK, I just looked at the blow prices. Although, I haven't had that stuff since 2002 or so. Much inflation since then. Looks like I won't be doing any yay in the near future. Er, maybe. I might get ONE overpriced bag. Fuck me, I'm like a kid in a fucking toy store here. No heroin, though. EVER. I just don't trust myself to touch that stuff. Also, I don't ever want anything to be "better than sex," and I've heard H described that way many times  :o

Could just be a matter of convenience. If you've lost your contacts or don't want to hang around dodgy bars having the postman drop your score through the letterbox is a tempting option.

Well put, my friend :)

For some people, the extra $ products cost on Silk Road are worth it just so they don't have to deal with shady or comfortable people or situations. If you're just buying a little here and there to enjoy yourself, Silk Road has to be one of the easiest and convenient things ever.

Ta MisterMcfeely! One day I'll write a novel....

Different strokes for different folks, y'all, but if you stop and think about COST as against PRICE, SR wins hands down for most buyers I think. How much time, effort, and incidental expenses are you accruing trying to get a better deal than the best prices on SR? Although that searching and connecting stuff used to be exciting, it's tired for me now. But I appreciate everyone's circumstances are different.

Anyway, hope y'all get what you want, I'm gonna finish this glass of red and go to bed now.

Take care.

No heroin, though. EVER. I just don't trust myself to touch that stuff. Also, I don't ever want anything to be "better than sex," and I've heard H described that way many times  :o

I grew up on meth as a young dumb kid with my first drug experiences, then tried H once about 10 years later and I though it was the biggest fucking joke/myth.  There's no rush compared to meth - not that im promoting it, just if that's your thing - and so far - meth is the drug with the best deals on here, found some pretty good deals from reputable sellers, you can get a ball right now for $200.

I completely agree!  I'm happy to pay a little more for the chance to shop around and know what's in the product.  Thinking back at all the pressed e pills I've bought from randoms; I would absolutely love to see a list of what it all was.  I would put it on my wall.
