I want to be a vendor on Agora since I have the same supply that the Vancouver Dipensaries have. There are about 30 top notch growers in my address book so I have access to premium bud at all times. Is it going to be worthwhile? I can also do a clearnet dispensary which might be better than DNM. Everyone wants Escrow on DNM but the fluctuation in btc could be a problem. How much are Agora fees for Escrow? Any other fees? I know about the bond. Going to sell samples of killer bud for cheap in order to get started. I can't see how I can do Escrow with btc all over the place. Only doing domestic Canada at first and probably will sell only Ozs, 1/2 ozs, or less for the first while as I build trust with my customers. Not new to DNM but always a buyer not a vendor. In the pot biz for many years. Smuggler, grower, dealer so I totally understand OPSEC. Thanks for any help!
I don't know enough about supply chain pricing of weed and the profit margins, but with escrow you need to price in the risk. Plenty of vendors use escrow and the fluctuations are just a part of vending risk. If you cant price in the risk and be competitive then it's not a worthwhile endeavor.
