One of my buddies has a fair supply of bubblegum stashed, and it's ever-growing. He can't get rid of it for the right price locally (duh, we've got coffee shops over here). He asked me if I could get $7.000 (€5.500) per kilo for it. Is there a demand for this (worldwide, of course) and if so, is the price right? Which quantities does this go for, IE would it be selling per 10 grams, 100 grams or whatever else for this price?
The quality is really good (lots of THC crystals, almost no seeds/stems). It's homegrown with high-end equipment, as it's been a running business for years. For some reason the demand has shrunk.
Stock keeps accumulating every two months, so this could very well be a permanent one.
I prefer to ship in large quantities as I would like to focus on my own GHB business for now.
EDIT* Added some more specific information
Here's a picture: http://i47.tinypic.com/sy9hlz.jpg

Small quantities shouldn't cost more than £10/g in my opinion, so €10/g is a good starting point (i.e. 50 euro for 5g). Obviously bigger amounts should be cheaper, say 200 Euro per ounce.
I say there's always room for more weed vendors! If you need a review for this weed send a sample my way :)

I would buy it for that price, simply because it would be cheaper than domestic vendors making me willing to take the risk of interception. By bubble you mean bubble gum I'm guessing?

I was preferably looking for someone who could buy by the pound or even the whole thing at once, but I guess that's too optimistic. Your suggestions sound good, though. Especially 200 Euro per ounce ain't bad; pretty decent quantity to ship at once and still a good price. What would a pound be, then?

Yeah it's bubblegum, I've edited the title and OP to make things a little more clear :-)

Definitely interested, however I imagine shipping would be the main problem. Unless you are a master at packaging of course, and I've seen some that are perfect but still doesn't make it through customs (to the USA).
-
If you could ship from a neighboring country id be interested in large amounts

I see you don't have it listed yet. It would be nice to see some feedback. You may not get many buyers until they see some good feedback on it so you may have to start with a small shipment first.

I understand. I was checking demand first, as it's not MY stash. If I give my mate a "go", I will be expected to actually sell it for a price he wants, that's why I'm taking the necessary time for this one.
I've included a picture, hopefully it's good enough to see the quality?
-
At €200/oz you would make the €5500 your mate wanted and then some, minus other vendor costs. Vacuum packing is a must.
The bud looks great, I look forward to seeing your listings on SR.

Well that sounds quite appealing :)
It's top-notch bud indeed, no doubt about that. But that's nothing rare here in the Netherlands, hence why SR probably offers better profits than local buyers.
I've given a go, so we've still got a few things to discuss and some agreements to make but I think the first listing will be up within a week or so. I can't make any promises on the ETA since it's depending on someone else, but I'll do my best :)
Thanks for your feedbacks so far!

At a kilo I'd say $5500 max. That's a very large bulk order and should be discounted accordingly.

We're talking about EUR, so that'd be about $7000 for a kilo. But you're right, it is very optimistic and will probably have to achieve this through selling smaller quantities. When someone wants to buy a whole kilo at once, we can probably drop the price a bit, say €5000 but no less than that. Else it'd be more profitable to just sell it locally, which in this case would involve less risk and less overhead. Besides, it's great quality and can easily be re-sold for double the amount in small quantities, or 1.5 times the amount in medium quantities. Or am I wrong now?

You're correct. Jus thought you were selling the full kilos. ;D
Also you're limiting yourself to the EU correct? I mean you seem pretty new at this idk if you're wanting to try to get bud over the border already.

Forget about that. We're selling worldwide, and we're gonna MAKE it work. I've already learned a lot so far, thinking a few more things through will probably have us ready for it. Thing is, we've got the resources to set up almost any kind of system, it's just a matter of accumulating the know-how. That's why the listing isn't up yet ;)
