Title: Alcohol on SR
Post by: WeedBros on November 28, 2012, 03:35 am
Right now we deal more in the cannabis scene but are looking to expand a little bit and I know I saw a thread a couple of weeks ago about alcohol on SR but cant seem to find it anymore. Im just putting out some feelers to see if people would be interested in buying alcohol over silk road.

yeah i think that alcohol would be a nice addition to SR. One thing that i would for sure like is some real Absynthe. Only the fake stuff is sold in the States. Also maybe things like moonshine, etc? Im sure that if the casual SR buyer saw the Alcohol category on the site they would for sure click on that.

I agree with streetwalker.  REAL Absinthe and moonshine would be pretty enticing.  A lot of places in the US don't allow 190 proof Everclear too, so that may move.

It's been discussed before. The only marketable item would be everclear, and profits would be slim, and you're probably selling to a minor.

Echoing the above, would be interested in trying legit absinthe, just to see if it works on a skeptic. I can get moonshine at the local speak (yeah they still have these).

Would be good for rare liquors/wines/beers. And a microbrew section would be pretty tight (might convince me to get a vendor account)

yeah that's what I was thinking most of the sales would be to minors I dont have access to moonshine or absinthe so I would mostly be sell Colorado microbrews and regular alcohol to minors

There used to be a vendor who was selling flavored moonshine by the jar, I forget the name, but as far as I know that was the only alcohol on SR for a while.

So you're cool with selling high potency alcohol to minors? I did my time and spent entire summers sitting in front of liquor stores and gas stations trying to get people to buy us cigarettes or liquor. Now I look back at the crazy shit we all did with say a bottle of Everclear, or the time my buddy almost choked to death on his own MD20/20 bum wine vomit, or wandering around drinking stolen gas station beer and walking three miles down the traintracks to the Indian gas station where they would sell us cigarettes without ID. Back when it was easier to get the weed than the pack of rolling paper. Ah, fond memories. But it's probably not a lucrative idea unless you're making moonshine.

Yeah I don't think its worth it, with the cost of shipping and the time it would take to package shit properly so it doesn't break.

Although certain parts of Alaska are dry, so maybe it would be worth it to ship there.

There is a huge underground market scene in Ireland for what ye Yanks call "Moonshine"!

We call it Poitín  (putt-een) here and its made with serious pride too, its kind of an "in the family" thing with recipes, methods of distilling, secret ingredients and all the lot kept in the family and passed down, there no backyard spud and white spirts operations either here ha ha, they even have underground competitions every year to see who makes the best!
Its all very hush hush though as the cops and customs here are proper scumbag state thugs, they behave as if you've stolen from them, The good thing about us Irish is that a large section of "us" dont recognise the mickey mouse state and the laws and "services" it provides so we go alone, were just driven by good cultured morals :) the cops and government here are just another gang of corrupt criminals.

We (my family) send a bottle every year to family in the US at xmas time every year (how stereotypically Irish is that eh!?) so it does get through customs, if there was demand for it on here id send a few bottles of my locals finest!

I got a bottle of  Poitín for my 16 birthday,  Now how stereotypically Irish is that! Unfortunately I have only had the chance to try it a handful of times. It's in very short supply were I come from.
If you had some for sale at a good price I would definitely be interested!

If fact I have been trying to get my hands on a couple of bottles for a while now, I was think of building a still and making my own.
