I am a long time user (abuser) of SR and have been involved in the drugs trade in one way or another for 20 years now.
We have been cultivating now for the last 7yrs, and my partners for considerably longer than that. We are currently growing Cheese. It is lovingly cured and trimmed and is very very strong.
I have been considering vending on SR. I believe that I can beat the current offerings both in terms of quality and price (TheHerbalist, WeedManUK, MrConk, le Magnifique) . I am looking at approximately 9/10 GPB per gram.
Do people think that there is enough room in the market for another skunk vendor? Any words of advice to a new vendor? How to get started? Discounted listings for highly ranked forum members?
All comments appreciated...

Thanks!
Any tips with regards to packaging?
-
and who do you send the samples to?

Make a new topic 'first 5 or 10 posters will get a free sample'
Always send your weed in a bubble envelop , buy a vacuum machine (you can buy one for 100 euro) , seal you're weed 3 times. give more weed then they buy. (0.2-05g more for the first 10 buyers)
This is how I get starded . Got my first transactions and I have a pretty good reputation (I think lol..)
Dont forget to have killer weed to. I had allot of cheese haze 4 mounths ago , it was the best weed I ever had ;) buyers where addicted to it. (not sold on silkroad but irl)
good luck! (I dont mind if you press my karma button :) )

Happy to. Where do I find the karma button?
Is there anyway to send samples via SR, so their feedback can be left on there?
How are the vendor ratings arrived at?
Sorry for all the questions!
-
Ahl take a free sample and have a detailed review for you mate
-
No they cant review or give you 5 stars. But they gonna reply on your topicks in the forums and that will give you buyers (trust me)
-
Karma button is only available after you have 100 posts on the forums, IIRC.
Also OP, if you want to sell weed, do you have a vendor account here on Silk Road?
If so, you should link to it otherwise get one!
Cheers.
PS: if you want to become a reputable seller don't forget to give a look to the sticky threads on Shipping section. Lots of info about shipping properly and canine-proof: just vacuum sealing is not enough and exposes your customers to risks especially on international shipments.
-
Tips:
1. MBB!! Essential for shipping overseas. Maybe vac sealing the weed flat, then into a MBB would be best. When I buy weed from overseas, I expect it to be flattened.
2. Make some bubble hash from your trim and sell that too!
3. If you want to 'ave your feedback show up for any samples, then you have to make it a public listing. You could create custom listings for your samplers as well.
4. Don't listen to crappy house music.
5. Expect your herb to be picked apart and analyzed by armchair Marijuana judges. If you don't have thick skin, and big shoulders. You won't last long here.
That's all I got. Hope you do well, the brits on here are always looking for a new weed vendor it seems. If you decide to sell to the states at some point, I'd be happy to gram a gram or two of the cheese if it's the peng!
-
Just some advice, perhaps you should make your title UK weed?
I was so confused as to what you meant by cheese at first, it means many different things.

Actually concerning the samples, making a thread titled like "Free weed for reviews" and asking in the first post for a minimum of information to be given by the people wanting to have a sample is far more effective than just a "First 10 answers will get a sample" thread.
For instance a general good reviewer profile would be someone with a good forum presence (as someone with 51 posts won't have the same force of persuasion than someone with 200+ posts), with an account registered for a while, with good buying stats and if possible with a few links to his pre-existing reviews.
That way there is fewer chances that the guy receiving the sample will simply run away with his free stuff and never report back with a review, or will report back with a 10 words one.
There is also an existing "reliable reviewers" thread here :
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=117957.0
Also of course you can have feedback showing up on SR for the samples you sent, you should simply make custom (stealth) listings for the reviewers you picked up from your thread, making it cost nothing (or making them pay only for the shipping costs as long as it's not too much) and sending them the links to them via PM.
This way you will probably attract more customer rapidly, as you have to remember not everybody takes time to read the forums, so forum-only reviews won't be seen by everyone.
Plus it will help you get some good stats quicker, so for the time it cost making a few custom stealth listings, it is really something you should consider if you're sending samples.
-
Yes i agree a stealth listing for say 5-10 samples gets you feedback & forum reviews
I have also done business with venders that are good enough to send samples if good quality, prices etc.
Hope this helps

P.s what is your Sr vender name as not in your thread
-
If I understood well, he is still only considering becoming a vendor, so probably no vendor account yet ;)

That's right. Just thinking through the options at the moment before I put down the 4.59B for a seller account.
I need to consider packaging and the laundering of the coins next...

I am a regular buyer of weed from UK vendors and like to shop around a bit too see what the best quality for price is.
If this was top grade cheese for 9/10 a gram then I am going to buy some from you, one thing that puts me off though is high delivery charges and I would prefer that incorporated into the price rather than separate from it. Some vendors prices look great then you see they are charging extra for delivery, not good.
Look forward to seeing you if you do decide to go for it, if you can update us on here what your vendor name will be or send me a message that would be good as well :)

what he said ^^^^^^
im new, have been selling some cheap blueberry not the strongest but still a very good smoke, 7quid a gram have got nearly 50 sales in a matter of days.
also stealth, make shore your stealth is on the ball.
-
If your suggestion that you can beat those vendors on both price and quality is accurate you'll make a mint.
As for samples, do it via SR listings for sure, you don't want people sending you their address via any other method if you can avoid it. You should hit up the UK Cannabis Buyers thread in Rumor Mill to find your reviewers too. There are a bunch of regular posters/reviewers in there.

Many thanks for your comments. What is a reasonable delivery charge?

Can't tell for others, but I really like the "free shipping" listings, as long as they doesn't bump too much the initial price per gram. This way I find it easier to acquire the right amount of coins without having the bad surprise of a too high shipping fee resulting in the inability to order something.
If I am paying for shipping, I generally don't like to pay more than 4-6€ for regular shipping on quantities below 14g.
I also find the 1g listings where you pay sometimes more for the shipping than the product itself quite ridiculous, but that may be just me.
Psychologically I will far more easily pull the trigger for one gram costing 10-12€ with free shipping than for another gram costing 6-8€ with a 5€ shipping fee.
Nonetheless as a vendor, take notice that you do have some interest in cheap price per gram with bigger shipping fee, as you will be found more rapidly by users sorting listings by prices.

That's helpful. Thanks.
Do I pay commission on postage charges?

Can't help with that without doing research as I am not a vendor here, and don't really have time for that now, sorry.
It is indeed possible that there is no commission on postage charges, but I can't state that as a fact.
Maybe check the seller's guide :
