Title: Need some opinions
Post by: rmsher on November 24, 2012, 07:15 am
So in about 40 days me & my best friend will be moving into a dorm at a major university & we're looking to make some quick cash.

we've decided that we'd buy 'shake' by the oz, roll 1 Gram joints and sell them for $15 each. Overall, we'd make a pretty killer profit if everything goes as planned.

my question to SR users: Would you be willing to buy $15 dollar grams of some flame on a regular basis as a college student? Keep in mind these are already rolled joints, on point weight wise of some dank bud.

P.S - We both have experience selling bud & around our area its about $15 - $20 a gram

I'd prefer to roll my own joints and would be weary of someone selling 1g joints. The cynical side of me would think they are shying on the weight by pre-rolling them.

big sticky juicy buds.  it's the only way your making money......best product (shake no matter how good will never be the best product people want bud porn to show off to their friends)  at the lowest price.  if you can't provide that don't bother because you're taking way to much risk for little to no profit.

it's the only way you're making money with green.  sorry needed to clarify my last post.

If the shake is still very top shelf you could use .5g joints as some kind of incentive or as a freebie to increase loyalty (assuming you're looking long term) but as said above you will make the most money from selling big potent buds. You're not gonna be the only people selling green there and if all you got is shake joints no-one will buy them unless as a last resort.

No way would I ever pay $15 for a joint, unless it was pure hash or something lol.

The most I would pay is $10 and that's only if I knew the product was fire. You could do 1gram J's for $10 and something like 2.2gram blunts for $20.

With the prices of shake on SR you would have absolutely no problem making some serious cash off this.

10 dollars ....aka the "breaking point " for grams of shake......lol......I'd gladly pay $10 for a gram of "good"shake...They'd go fast ,continuous and all day long.......Heck i'd pay $15 or $20 ,if i knew it was romulan,,,,

You guys SMOKE shake in the USA?  WHAT THE FUCK?

If you tried to sell me shake for anything other then to make BHO (or other trichome extraction methods)  at prices of more then $20 a pound I would slit your fucking throat. 

Trying to sell off leaves/stems/stalks as pre-rolled joints (that's what 'shake' is, the unusable parts of the plant, aka NOT BUDS) is fucked !

Now let's assume you use the term 'shake' differently to describe actual weed (buds ... full ... trichome rich ... MARIJUANNA) in the USA, selling a pre-rolled joint of it for $10-$15 is still FUCKED. 
A typical joint is about 0.6-0.8g ... that should sell for $6 - $8, not $10 - $15 !!!!

My oh my, maybe it's cuz i'm not American and didn't know you'd pay such ridiculous amounts even for good weed but even the most expensive weed should sell for $10 a gram !  A lot less per gram when you start buying in quantity ($30 for an eighth, $50 for a quarter, $90 for a half o, $150 for an o ... of average weed .... medical weed a bit more yes, but still no more then $10 a gram).

Am I completely off base in what American's spend for weed?  Cuz that's fucking ridiculously expensive !!!!

I'm personally hoping he meant smaller buds and weed that just isnt in nug form as shake. As an American, this is what I refer to as shake. What you''re referring to we usually call "trimmings" and that is more or less given away for free or just thrown out.

He said the J's would weigh one gram, which is why I said I'd pay no more than $10 for it, even then it better be shake from some really dank weed.

Post by: rmsher on November 24, 2012, 06:09 pm
thank you for all of your opinions. When I say shake I'm referring to what James Harden said.

Anyways, after taking in your opinions we're debating on offering .08 pre-rolled shake joints (will weigh if buyer requests) for $10 & also selling buds for $15 a gram

For all the people complaining about the prices.......in my area a GRAM of DANK bud is mostly in the $15 range.

I would like to sell some low grade hash since there is literally none in the area I will be living in. How would i go about selling that? How much does is usually go for by the gram?

PS - Please try and put yourself in the shoes of a naive college student living on campus looking for a quick easy fix, it seems that some of you are taking this on from a personal point of view. Personally I don't even like joints and there's no way in hell I would buy a pre-rolled joint but where I will be living that's all people smoke.

Hey man I dont make the prices around here lol

I've been all around the US and the prices for bud are generally the same from california to florida to up north its generally $15 - $20 a gram of some dank bud.

I wouldn't buy a joint for $15.00.  But, I can see some college kids paying that for a joint.  If you are a particularly social person and can network well, I'm not going to say you won't be able to make money.  A lot of college kids are living on mom and dad's dime, so money may not be as much of a factor for some.  So, if you are that social type and can build a nice network, you might make some money.

Most importantly though, if I am not mistaken, most of what is advertised as 'shake' on SR is actually 'trim' which is more suited to making edibles rather than being smoked.  But, I could be wrong.  It's happened before and it will happen again!

Sell joints and mdma capsules at parties where it is a question of convenience and regular bags on your off times. I have paid 60 bucks a half g of M and 10 bucks for a 0.6 joint at the club, best time to part a fool with their money is when they're "partying"

thanks for your insight! I've decided to offer .8s for $10 to avoid the problem of people feeling like they're not getting their 'bang for their buck' at the $15 price.

I would def get into selling MDMA but i've never tried it & never even seen it. I'm not sure what proper dosages would be, ya know?
Title: Re: Need some opinions

It would be a goldmine, specially with rich college students all around.
Buy capsules from a health food store, put 100mg into each capsule using a mg scale. A gram makes 10 pills. Sell each pill for 10 bucks. If you buy 10g from Dutchaanbod then re-sell at these prices 10g = 1000 pills
minus your investment on product and capsules (250)
you're looking at 9,750 in the long run.
I did the "shake joints" thing when I was in school, never made any cash just smoked for free. Coke I got too into it and all my profits went in my nose.
But mdma capsules was so easy, take two and people see how much fun you're having and want some
As for dose, tell people to buy two, take the first one and in an hour and a half take the second one if they're not "high enough"
plus people will really dig that it's capsules i.e pure mdma not pressed pills of whatever

damn thanks! that honestly sounds like a hell of a flip. I see he's based in germany. I'm just so sketched out buying from overseas for some reason.

I've been all around the US and the prices for bud are generally the same from california to florida to up north its generally $15 - $20 a gram of some dank bud.

I'm sorry man, I didn't mean offense to you (or to the USA), I really didn't know that's what American's pay for weed and admittedly it seems oddly high to me.

I'm not American though, so if that's what you say it goes for, I believe you.

Wasn't my intent to be rude in my post, more of shock then anything else.

I hope you get the advice on pricing you need from fellow American's because i'm obviously not the person to give you that advice lol.

Sorry again for my admittedly rude post :(

No problem! Good luck with it and be safe.  You also might want to consider investing in a good scale and buying some speed (amphetamine sulphate) on the road (one of the cheapest items on the road).  You can then capsule them up and sell them individually.  Of course don't lie to anyone and tell them it's something it isn't, just say 'it's speed' or whatever. 

I haven't read any of the other posts in this thread, but I did see 'MDMA' when I was skimming, and you could also make a killing off of MDMA.  It would be a good idea to buy both MDMA and Speed from a domestic vendor if possible.

Basically, college campuses are gold mines, like I said though, just be safe!

Also you should find a good hash vendor on SR and maybe do 0.8grams of bud and 0.3grams of hash in a joint for $15. You can find it for a fairly cheap price on here, especially if you buy in bulk.
