There's already European sellers selling cartons of them at ~$2-$4 a pack. I don't think you can keep up with them unless you're stealing the cigarettes.

I think the issue would be size of packs and volume. I'll assume you live in GA or the Carolina's. So you can buy at... $35-45/carton? Why sell to Australia when you can sell to New England and NYC?

But let's say $40/carton for you. Plus $10 in labor/packing costs (maybe more if you need super stealth. AUS will buy for, what? $100? $120? Per carton? (AUS people, what does a carton cost in American dollars?)

So conservatively, you make $50/shipment. But then you gotta convert the BTC to fiat with the ensuing fees. So let's say $45.

How many orders do you imagine per day for cigarettes? Is there already a black market for AUS smokes? I think you should post on r/dnmoz for more market research.

Wish I could find me some cheap ports or marlboro menthol lol

I gave up trying to buy cigarettes from over seas because more than half the shipments were confiscated by customs and it wasn't worth it in the end.

Shit, packs of Marlboros don't cost more than $4.50 where I live.

Better money too would be stocking up in NC, then selling at bodegas and mom and pops in Philly, NY, Hartford, maybe Boston. You could probably make a run with 50 cartons a week and make $10-$20 on a carton in about a day and a half to two days.

But still, after vehicle wear and tear and gas, better to just get a normal job.
