We have recently obtained a new prescription connection, and would like to see if the road would like us to start undercutting the other vendors ridiculously high pricing for meds. $10 a piece for 10/325's is highway robbery and we would like to help out those that need these meds. Gauging interest before we commit to getting large quantities of 10mg hydros and other assorted pain meds. List up what you would like to see come down and what pricing you think is fair for all parties involved as we cannot loose money either. Remember, these products need to be in decent enough demand for us to start picking up new items, but we are willing to start helping out the road. We wont be able to supply like other vendors do with a gigantic surplus available at all times, but for at least a few people a month we can help them out. With the hydros we will be moving them in 25 packs. We will more than likely implement separate buyer requirements for this market, as pain killers tend to attract scamming buyers.

Props for thinking of helping people out, couldn't agree more that the prices for most pain meds are ridiculously high. We hope to see you succeed. Indeed pain killers tend to attract scamming buyers, but scammers pop up everywhere someone sees what they consider their profit lost to competition.
We especially hope for your success if you carry methadone, which offers significant potential harm reduction benefits but for USA domestic listings has an ever increasing price here on SR and on similar sites. Seems to us there's some type of effort to set the price of USA domestic methadone underway; our work with a few vendors has strengthened this belief.
Methadone, unlike hydrocodone, oxycodone, or other painkillers, has a unique profile that leads to its use in recovery from opiate dependence. There is no drop-in replacement for methadone - other opiods and opiates have very different durations of action and amounts of recreational appeal, or lack thereof. Any time release pain killer tablet can be abused by defeating the time release mechanism. Suboxone and methadone work very differently: someone accustomed to taking methadone could not just substitute in suboxone one day if they ran out of methadone. We ask what other substance could be more profitable to fix the price on than methadone.
Regardless of what you end up offering, we applaud your dedication to serving SR buyers at a reasonable rate! But please be vigilant because anyone who is being undercut by your prices sees you as a business problem, and they would just love to buy all your stock up, and pay you in full, or worse, cause you all kinds of headaches, so your product is no longer for sale and they can resume their sales at unreasonable prices... Interfering with the operation of lower priced competition seems to attract significant effort from some competing vendors, sadly.
Best of luck! If you'd like to work with us in any way, please message on SR

We will be requiring 1000 dollars in buys to purchase any pain medication from us. You will also need to have at least 3 months on SR as well. Also we will not be a major player so i doubt the other vendors will even notice us. A few people a month will get a kickass deal and if the other vendors want to buy all my stock more power to them. I will take profits from another vendor buying up my stock anyday lol. Thinking we might offer only 25 packs at around 200. Move like 20-50 of those a month tops. If another vendor gets pissed at us and tries some bullshit we will just undercut them more. As a vendor, we are some of the nicest people you will ever meet in real life, but if you try to fuck with BV's money and you will get undercut at cost just to mess up your customer base for being an asshole when we are trying to help people out with a TINY market share of the hydros sold here.
