Hello everyone,
I'm a brand new vendor looking to make my first sale on SR. I know the competition is fierce and reputation is everything on here. In light of this, I am offering a steep discount on some quality hydroponic since I don't have any reputation to go by yet.
I promise you will not be disappointed with the quality, service and value that I will provide you. Please leave feedback to let me know how I am doing!

maybe you should send out a few free samples to knowledgeable tokers? ahem.....cough......nudge, nudge. 8)

Hey zoomer,
Welcome! Other vendors have setup a decent sample size at fair price to acquire reviews. I personally like this since it helps both parties. So moving forward will you increase your prices drastically? Since this particular inventory is low will you have a steady supply there after?

So you are recommending that I offer some freebies hey. Hmmm. I might do that.
I plan on raising the price to market prices. Whatever the market will bear for my product. It costs money to produce the stuff ya know ;) I like helping people, but I don't want to bankrupt myself in the process.
I have a very limited supply as this weed comes from a micro-grow hydroponic rig. I'm able to acquire about a QP to a HP every 3 months or so if everything goes according to plan.
Right now I have the price set equivalent to shwag weed, so at the worst, even if people think the weed is junk (which it's not, I assure you), they are still getting equal value for the money.

First, welcome to SR!
Second, I would not offer to many discounted items due to the fact that there are not many high quality indicas on SR from trusted vendors.
Third, I would suggest you be careful from buyers who have less than 5 completed transactions.
Will you be growing BK as your main supply or will you be offering other varieties?

No, unfortunately the Bubba is a big boy that had problems fitting in its cage hahaha. Right now I'm looking to try some Blue Himalaya that should fit the rig more appropriately. The Bubba turned out super frosty but very fluffy because the light penetration wasn't that great. By using a shorter strain I hope to maximize the productive capacity of the rig and reduce the fluffy factor a bit.
I know some people like their weed to be very fluffy because it burns quickly for a very big hit. So this Bubba should be right up their alley. But growers don't particularly like it because it means space isn't being maximized per weight of weed produced.

whatever gave you that impression? 8) 8) 8)

One suggestion I would make is to get hold of a decent camera and get a good macro closeup of those buds.
There is a lot of weed on here that doesn't quite meet up to the description once it arrives. And another problem is that there are a lot of people who think they know about weed and they don't. I bought some weed which was well below par from the description I was given, and it became pretty clear to me after a few PMs that *the vendor* didn't know enough to see what I was talking about, so it was a lost cause (fyi the problem was with the vendors curing regime, which they thought was adequate but to me, clearly fucked up what might have been a really nice smoke).
So if your bud is really that good, then let people see it, and make sure that the people who get your first samples are knowledgeable enough to appraise it properly.

All good advice.
I'll look into producing a close up of the buds and swapping out the image. I toyed around with this but the canned shot just looked so pretty I had to use it.
The people who gave me my initial appraisals (non SR customers) were very pleased with the product and have been life long smokers. All of them said they would be perfectly happy paying retail prices for it. I already know its decent. I'm not claiming they are the end-all-be-all of Bubba Kush buds, but they are certainly worth retail.
I smoke myself, and for what its worth, I'm sad that I'm going to sell it! I really like this batch hahaha. I'm tempted to break into my stash right now.

Thanks coldfrost. I look forward to having you as my first sale unless someone beats you to the punch.

I updated the product listing with a closeup of one of the buds.
Judge for yourself.
edit: Now look what you made me do. Now I have to smoke this ;D
-
shit, now you're exposing me for what I really am - someone who would buy that without hesitation, for that price, but doesnt have any BC to buy it with, lol, so has to resort to attempts to get a sample for free. hehehe
looks good. I wouldnt blame you if you smoked it up yourself....been there....done that.....lol!

I've been on SR 7 months and have had about a dozen sr transactions under my belt.
Haven't lost an sr shipment yet, knock on wood.
I live outside the US & EU and therefore
there are a limited amount of weed vendors that ship worldwide.
I think there maybe 3 and I've bought from them all with no problem.
When I lived in the States I had no problem getting kind bud,
so it surprises me that worldwide shipping isn't isn't more available.
Jesus, can't you buy weed at the 7-11 these days in the States?
Another area not exploited is express shipping worldwide.
So if you shipped worldwide and offered express shipping, with a tracking number,
you'd be only the 2nd worldwide weed vendor that offer this service on sr.
USPS is the best for worldwide shipping for two main reasons:
* they need a warrant to open the package stateside
* packages from the land of the free are assumed to sanitary and above board by non-EU countries
(I even had a smelly, badly packed 1/4 oz make it through.)
another unexploited opportunity is adding addresses in the the script of the country
in addition to the roman alphabet address
my Chinese mailman has a hard time reading this:
Ying Yang District
but has no problem reading this
北京市朝阳回龙观镇龙博苑二区5号商业楼首层
so a label in roman alphabet with a local script would enhance the delivery
food for thought and if you can offer that,
i'm ready to give you a try

@ Haiba
I can read both just fine lol
Bo Town, Chaoyang, Beijing Hui X X X X
I won't complete it for security reasons ;D 8) ;D
I knew how big the world was prior to SR, but after SR I come to understand exactly what global economy is lol.

I apologize for distracting from the topic but I have to comment...You get drugs shipped to China? You sir have serious balls. Even if you were in Hong Kong, Singapore, or Malaysia (Did I miss any?), all of which have very draconian punishments for drugs from my understanding, you still have serious balls...fight the power.

I also apologize for the derail but I was just about to post this same exact thing! From what I've read it's hard to even get connected to Tor from within China. I'm simply amazed that you not only get to SR, but you order things and they actually show up (especially weed, which is notoriously hard to ship overseas)!
You're a very brave man. Keep fighting the good fight.

@ zoomer
Placed my order as promised. Look forward to future business. Always looking for good vendors.

I've never bought weed on SR. The prices are horrible, I honestly feel sorry for whoever is desperate enough to pay so much for bud.
-
If you are looking for a strain to have fun with and learn techniques I would recommend more indica doms :D
Northern Lights is forgiving (skunk crosses are easy AF to handle)
If you grow a Chem-strain I would thing you would sell a shit ton.. very popular strain with cannaseurs
Bubblegum crosses too! :D

No freebies! Offer good group sales, and help the group.
This begging for free samples got to stop.
I wouldn't trust the review, and they are not the ones that are going to do biz with you.
NO more sample trolling!!!!
Do some buying, and include free samples, and we all win.
Question, how to order, and we are you shipping from/to?

Wow how many times you going to post that?
I don't know I shop around and see things price fairly considered their illegal, and taxed.
All of us don't live in "free states"
Zoomer I am Bubba Kush Lover.
That's your warning ;) lol

haha I think you will get your chance yet. This is a tough crowd here. I just cut the price back down. I have to feel out the price point to see what bites.

Just bought an 8th--I'm a first-time buyer so I hope you're ok with that. The price beats what I could get IRL and the weed looks great!
