Title: Product with the highest profit margin (resale)
Post by: Madara on March 28, 2012, 09:57 pm
Obviously it can depend on your location and the demand for that certain product, but overall - what is the most profitable product to resell. (Purchased from SR - Sold locally)

So far I have found-
Weed -  good quality / shitty profit
Shrooms - good quality / almost double in my area
Nbome - / excellent profit, but not too much demand
MDMA - great quality / meh profit
---------------------------------------
Please do add to the list or fix mine :)

EDIT: Also, I'd like to consider risk factors in receiving the product.

I can't see how you can make money buying off the SR. Only way i can see is buying the top notch coke and h and cutting it up heavily. Still wouldn't make same profits as If you had your own supply.

I think the coke and heroin markets can be very profitable if you supply to a certain market niche; rich people that want a very high quality product and are willing to pay a premium for it. Fishscale cocaine and extremely high quality heroin are in very low supply at a consumer level, and if you can locate the demand there is definitely a lot of profit to be had.

I wouldn't say MDMA's profitability isn't impressive either, it's one of the few items that is reasonably priced. Vendors also offer it in bulk unlike most other products.

Buy Galindoi's shrooms. He sells at about $50 an oz. Sell at $30 an 1/8th and you make almost $200 profit (like a 500% turn over). Not to mention people love you for the quality and inexpensive product.

The MDMA market here is saturated with shitty product; it wouldn't be hard to buy some here, cut it, and then sell $100 grams.  So far I've been doing pretty well flipping some of the pills from NL, the only issue is that I've had way too many packages seized.
It would be damn near impossible to make a profit buying weed here; it kills me to see venders charge 1.5x-2x on ounces versus what I could get them for locally.
I (luckily) don't know anything about the local h or coke market.

Weed you can easily grow yourself with a bit of investment. Can buy self contained growing cabinets that use very little power, no smell, or just make your own setup cheaper. I think these boxes are $3k-6k each http://www.bcnorthernlights.com/

Sell the bud, then make hash out of the leftovers from harvesting
Sell $220/oz here domestic mail order and probably make back your money in a day.

Surprised more American's aren't buying up defaulted homes for next to nothing and turning them into massive grow operations like we do here :) http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/3268.html

Hell, you could even run a GLBSE bitcoin listing to get investors to help you buy the house ;)

i would think alot of the vendors here are geeks and not exactly gangbangers from the hood so they only have the contacts to sell online and not IRL.
or simply choose not to get stabbed on the street selling.

Well there are some knobjockey trying to re-sell blow to Aussies at up 2 to 3 times the price that it sells for direct on here.  That sounds fairly profitable.

lol you guys have it rough for reselling. I could literally make hella profit reselling almost anything off sr, and I'm just in a shitty drug market part of the states.

My favorite profit margin products:
MDMA - 300-500+% (low safety risk, easily received in an envelope)
fungi - ~300%

I'll second that, morso the H.

I'm a grower, so Weed all the way.

But as John Keats said, Galindoi's shroom products are oh so yummy. Just reppin him, cause I was very pleased yesterday on the sample I purchased.

Rc's kill around here. Bare minimum 300% profit margin for 2c-1. For people I don't know so well up to 500%. So easy, just wish there was a consistent supplier of 1-5 grams that was reliable.

Post by: PooDollar65 on March 29, 2012, 08:01 am
I second RCs. Particularly Methylone. As long as you're not selling it as MDMA. Drives me nuts around here when someone's like "Yo dawwg I got that real molly shard" and it's fucking 4-MEC. Makin' asses out of ravers on a weekly basis it seems anymore.

Growing shrooms has pretty large margins.
Ketamine probably has the most potential for profit but you will need to shift a lot of it.

First, you have to find out street prices for everything in your area.

(I wish there was a street price sticky for all indulgences here on SR. I hope DPR is reading this.)
Next, it all depends on what the demand and supply is in you area.

Used to patronize a f2f vendor for the nose candy for 2 years, about 6 months ago. SR's prices don't come NEAR to what the connect had. It wasn't fish scale, but one level under. I put a handful of cats out of business.

However, many customers were asking for pills. So immersed in the game, did not do any homework on them until the connect decided he had enough of the game.

Ironically, that is when SR came into the picture. Green, which I would NEVER sell, probably has the best ability to move in volume, in my area from SR to IRL.

Ketamine probably is the best mover, when it comes to customer retention from SR to IRL. Just can't do it to people, though.

Pills is the best margin translator from SR to IRL, in my opinion.

Molly is probably next. Just don't want to frequent raves.

Im thinking about opening a seller account and offering shrooms(cubenis very nice) and weed (northernlights X skunk)at a competitive price.....

I also have access to adderall (Instant Release) and some pain meds (10mg percs)

The 150 dollar fee is a joke and in no way affecting my decision... it really comes down to if I want to commit to this kind of business....

And BTW i love and respect all of the (respectable and legit) sellers on the road.

I feel i could be an asset to the road, but I am conflicted to say the least......

For weed the prices in the U.K (that I've come across) are roughly:
£20 for 1.4g-2g depending on vendor
£60 1/4 oz
£110-£130 oz
£200 - £240 an oz

All for what we is generally very ordinary weed.

MDMA
£40 g
£105 3.5 g

Coke from what I've heard is £40-£55 a gram at like 10% purity.

Make of that what you will, I haven't got very IRL connections.

Just buy spores online and grow your own shrooms. It's a much larger turnover than reselling SR drugs on the street.

Shrooms are the golden ticket, as far as I'm concerned... For $2 in grain, you can turn it into $1500 in cash..
My chums call me rumplestiltskin.. cuz I spin straw into gold...  with a little time and learning.. you too can transform a pile of horse shit into greenbacks..

That seems in line with the UK prices I see, our weed scene is terrible in comparison to the US/Canada :( . Don't even get me started on coke...it's shocking to see people paying up to £50/gram for 10-30% pure coke, and you aren't even getting a gram, it's usually a 0.8 wrap.

Yh I know I bought 5g of Baroso's weed when I first joined for roughly £30, gave half to a friend for £20 and smoked the rest myself. Probably equal to anything I've smoked in the U.K for half the price. Makes you wonder...

Post by: clixor on March 29, 2012, 10:11 pm
The dutch molly here is the best there is. I think in most places (except NL ofcourse :) you can sell it for a healthy markup most def even though if there are pills around, i think you'll soon have a small but LOYAL customer base and i think that's better than quantity alone.
Title: Re: Product with the highest profit margin (resale)
Post by: Buster39 on March 29, 2012, 11:43 pm
MDMA all the way.

You can get 100 Pinks tars for 500 and have no problem selling them for 15+.

Ir 5g for 150 of crystal and easily clear 100 a gram+.

Mushrooms suck to sell, people don't trip all the time and buy bags and sit on them. Then you have the guy who thinks its necessary to eat 7 grams his first time and end ups going fucking nuts or worse the group that splits an oz and go bat shit.

Nothing like getting a call at 3 in the morning screaming that their what is this stuff.

Supertrips or SKYY MDMA has very strong resale profit potential in my local US market.. Buy it for ~35/g, sell for 100/g or 140/g if sold in caps.

Since I have zero interest in doing this myself, I'll let you in on something: study drugs

Ritalin and Adderall are easily bought quite cheaply online (maybe not on SR based on the prices I've seen, haha) and then sold for a killing IRL.
Title: Re: Product with the highest profit margin (resale)
Post by: pennyloaferz on March 30, 2012, 09:45 am
Not a dealer but I know in my area how it normally goes
#1-> MDMA- molly form buying at something stupid like $30 a g could sell for $120 easy.  or pills buying at $5 or 6 and then getting $25- 
2-> coke buy $40-50 g sell at least $100 most likely more
3-> weed buy $8 a g sell $20 a g

it really all depends on your clientle and their habits I feel.  I have friend who kill at weed but suck with molly and some that are vice versa
 
but mdma seems to be all the rave (haha see what i did there) these days, kids are going nutty for that shit- like everybody very quickly.  Kids that dont even smoke weed ask about it all the time

The only thing I have seen that I think I can turn a profit on is the xanax powder. However, one might need to purchase a pill press, and that can be expensive.

Obviously, one has to buy in bulk on here to be able to turn profit.

I am very suprised there isn't a vendor on here from somewhere in Florida, where you can usually find 30 mg Oxycodone on the street for under $15, and I've had friends make the trip to Florida and return with hundreds of 30's that they paid a whopping $12 each for.

All the pharma opioid on here are priced more or approximately the same as the street price here, and I have never seen any truley bulk offers in the marketplace, maybe a 10 pack.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this....

My goal is to buy enough drugs on SR to supply me and my closes friends, and charge them enough to make my stuff a bit cheaper.

But there are a lot of things on SR that I would have no way to sale, so I haven't even looked at, RC's for instance.

Like has been said, ordering the high end coke or H and selling it to high end recreational users is the only way I see that I could turn any proffit here.

If one was looking at this as a business, the volume and margins would both be low. Having one order intercepted could rob you of your profit from the past several orders.

You come up with your second sentence and the $150 and I will buy it all. Adderall is like looking for a four leaf clover and I JUST found a market for percocets.

Well...what are you waiting......let's hop to it. There is enterprising to be acheived. 8)

The new laws fucked up doctor shopping and over prescribing and the price has +++++++. You used to be able to get bottles for 700 now its the typical madness.

I use to get 240 roxi 30s per month for $1 each...not the case today
to think those scripts are worth $7000 here on SR makes me sick

I'ts cheaper now in South Florida to purchase 10 dime bags for $80
rather than deal with Roxis for $30-$35 or Dillies for $50 each
