Hi all! I'm fairly new to SR but I happen to have a decent H connection here (somewhere in the middle of America) and, noticing the lack of steady stateside scag suppliers lately, wanted to share my access with all of you for a slight profit. As soon as I am able to get the 32 BTC needed to become a seller- should happen on Monday- I am going to start listing 1/4 grams of tan relatively pure smack for about 15 BTC. They cost me around $50-60 per bag depending on the quantity I get, and are typically .25-.3 g with a combination of small rocks and powder, light brown in color and smooth in texture. So I'd sell them for $75-80 assuming there's some reasonable demand for something like this. I could maybe do smaller amounts like .1g maybe, and at most 1/2g at a time, but I get em in little 1/4g $60 bags so that'd be the easiest way for me. Any feedback, advice, questions, etc.? Thanks and I hope you understand that I'm starting small to see how this works out. I wouldn't ask anyone to FE of course, but sadly this will mean I couldn't take a risk on someone with absolutely no buying history or questionable stats. If you seem generally upstanding, you are more than welcome to order. I am an occasional user of the product myself, and have some tolerance though I'm not completely physically addicted, and can say that shooting $10-20 worth (less than 100 mg but more than 50 mg) gets me a great rush and keeps me high for 6-8 hours. Anyway, more to follow, just wanted to put a feeler out there. Thanks!

Hey smlz, great to hear that we're going to have a new domestic H vendor on here! That you're in the US is definitely going to work to your advantage, as a lot of the buyers here are wary of ordering from outside the country, even from somewhere are close as Canada. That said, there are some very established and respected vendors from Canada who have proven that they have a very high quality product -- and their prices are close to what you're proposing. I'm thinking specifically of Tony76 (the number 1 vendor on SR in terms of sales) who sells a 0.25g bag for $80. So even though you'll have the domestic advantage, you're going to have to compete with him (and other Canadian vendors like OPI) who have established reputations for customer service, packaging, and product quality.
My advice would be to maybe price your stuff a tiny bit lower as an introductory offer and to stimulate trial (say $70 for a .25g) and/or offer free samples to some respected members of the H community on these boards who will give an honest, subjective review of your product (and help boost your feedback if your gear is good).
Hope this is helpful, competition is always a good thing and I wish you the best of luck in getting started here on SR!

Cool, thanks. Having never tried Tony's (or for that matter most vendors on SR's) product, my assessment of this stuff's quality for the price- some of the better dope I've ever had but also definitely not the cheapest, so overall just a bit above average value- is based only on my years of experience and comparison to other US cities east of the Mississippi. I've had pretty weak but extremely cheap stuff ($5/.1g bags) in DC for example, and amazingly strong but very skimpy $20 vials of raw in Baltimore, but this is somewhere in between, probably closer to Philly where the street dimebags I got were the perfect amount for a rather potent shot. Thus, I may well just start with splitting my bags into two 1/8g samples for about 6 BTC and see what people think. There are any number of reasons this might not work out to everyone's delight, but within a few days we can just try and hope for the best!

hey smlz. your stuff sounds just like what i get from chitown in quality and price. about 50 for a quarter g to 3 points. and the quality of that could be anywhere from flame-as-shit-d to what-the-fuck-did-i-get-milk? that said you gotta have a reason for me to wanna go to you and not the dude who will be to the walgreens in "30minutes" (yeah right... haha)
being in the US will def help folks looking to not have shit do over boarders and for people not wanting to wait for a week to get their stash. but being in the US people will expect lower shipping and lower prices. unfortunately if you have lower quality product you will lose customers fast as there is a lot of Grade a+ skag to be had on SR. the freebe pass out is a good idea for SR cats and d-boys on the corner. you gotta let the fiends know where to go cause we talk amongst ourselves.
i know if i got a sample and it was decent i would be hitting up all the kids in my phone to pitch in money to make a sizable purchase. the shit running around here lately is bunk and we all got money to burn/shoot.

I'm loathe to give away free samples just yet, but give me a day or two to consider it- at best I'd have to carefully choose 3-4 people I can trust to report clearly and reliably and who would actually follow up and buy some if it passes the bar. By early in the week I'll either get a few 1/2 bag samples (.12-.15g) up for like 6 BTC or start accepting applications to be testers!
