Title: Advice for prospective seller, did I miss something?
Post by: Muhkuh on February 06, 2013, 01:43 pm
Hi,

I'll have about 500g-600g of AK48 in a month and I'm looking for a safe method to distribute it.  After researching and previously buying on SR, I'm convinced SR can provide the safest method for me to distribute my product, although doing probably a much smaller "operation" than the experienced sellers. I'm located in germany and only plan to ship domestic.

Can somebody confirm the steps I need to take in order to be a successful seller:

- Buy vacuum sealer and enough materials to double vacuum each package
- Buy air cushioned envelope with appropriate postage stamps
- Buy postage scale
- Register seller account and pay the $500 signup fee which later can be refunded
- Offer competitive price for the quality of my product
- Ship fast and reliable
- ???
- Profit?

Some additional questions:

- Sellers are advertising their cannabis with "Superb Quality", "High Quality Pure Power", "Medical Grade AAA".. Is this just salesman talk or are there real differences?
- For this amount of weed, what are the preferred divisions?
- What services can/should I offer that aren't existent currently in general or high volume sellers?

would you not prefer to sell offline to avoid shipping?

You may think about metal-layer-sealing for some interesting thread about leaking odor - see the shipment section of the forum.
I don't think the seller-upgrade fee is refundable, afaik this was only an idea here on the forum.

Personally I don't think it's really worth the effort tbh. You have to invest some money here and need to give freebies and/or cheap competitive prices on a good product to build up some reputation here so people trust you and buy from you. This takes time, money and heart-blood - just to sell 500g weed...

The "medial grade", "AAA" should be real quality descriptions since it's always better to if a customer underestimates your product than if he expected better weed and gives you a bad rating. Of course a bit of salesman talk is always existent on a market :D
