Title: Is there a Nordic market on SR?
Post by: NordicS on March 20, 2012, 07:25 pm
Hello everyone.

So, I've been following SR with interest for the last few months, and I was thinking of moving my "business" over to this site, as I would like to minimize my risks of being caught. I've been dealing for a number of years in the "real world", in pretty much everything you can get high on (some in greater amounts than other). However, I've dealt mostly in the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway and Finland, to be precise) and I would like to continue to sell in these countries, as I can get the wares easier to their intended destination this way, while remaining anonymous.

But is there a substantial amount of Nordics on SR? I imagine it'll be mostly Americans and people from the EU, mainly the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands. And I'd rather not send my packages across too many countries, and try to keep it "local".

Excuse my English, and thanks for reading. Any answer would be welcomed.

(I assume this is the correct section to post this in?)

There's definitely an active user base, I'm surprised at how many of my customers come from there :)

Have you seen the prices here?

MDMA is 300-500 SEK per gram on here, in Sweden the standard price is 1000, 1200 is not unheard of.

Amphetamine costs 50-100 SEK a gram, in Sweden the standard prices are 200-300.

LSD costs 50-60 SEK, in Sweden the standard price is 100-150:-

I pressume the prices are about 20-30% higher in Norway and probably higher in Finland as well.

The scandinavian people who find themself on silkroad probably wouldn't pay much of a premium just for having it shipped from Sweden. Don't forget the fee silkroad takes, the fees for exchangers etc.

Why go through all the hassle selling of selling a gram of amphetamine for 100 SEK on here when you could sell it for 200-300 'in real life'? The only thing worth doing would be to sell something that there's a demand for on SR, maybe pharmaceutical opioids? I haven't seen a lot of them here and they seem to be common and relatively cheap in Sweden compared to the prices I have seen here.

Send me a PM if you want to ask/talk about anything, I don't sell on here but I've been around a while. (I'm Swedish btw)

The only way to find out is to make some trial listings.

Tell us what you'll be selling in the Product Offers section. It's the best way to probe your market. Good luck out there.

Looking at vendor pages there are a lot of people who explicitly mention the Nordic countries, so you have to assume they get inquiries.

Personally, weed from a Nordic source would be a big win.  Germany/Spain are close, but not as close... Long mail times and smelly cannabis across borders seem to be a bad combination for personal security.

The big challenge there IMO, which another poster mentioned, would be price and profits on your side.  Even with the SR fees, shipping, etc you can find primo bud on SR shipped from the EU that's about half the price decently connected people are paying on the street here.  While I personally would pay a little premium for the short shipping distance some people are more price conscious, and you'd be competing with the other EU vendors.

There are a lot of Scandinavians on here, and not too many Nordic sellers, so there's opportunity.   Anecdotally I saw a Norwegian vendor pop up some a cannabis listing that was sold out in a few days...

I'll agree with the other posters: test listings and the product forum are probably a good place to start.

Yes, there is a relativly big scandi userbase here. I  would happily pay a premium for having it shipped domesticly (Norway).
