Title: ROLLING TOBACCO - WORLDWIDE - Golden Virginia & Amber Leaf 50g
Post by: TobaccoKingUK on June 25, 2013, 07:16 pm
Hi I am considering becoming a vendor on SR.

 I sell rolling tobacco, Golden Virginia and Amber Leaf in 50g pouches.

The tobacco is from Gibraltar and brought into the UK. This is advantageous for three reasons. It is cheap so I am able to offer customers great prices. As Gibraltar is an English colony the writing on the packs is all in English. Lastly, I get it brought into the UK ready to ship from here. This is good as the main cigarette seller on SR from Moldova who doesn't even do rolling tobacco cannot guarantee delivery to the UK because Customs are so bad here.

Would many people be interested in this? Prices would start around £10 a pouch with discounts for bulk buys... (Tesco price for Golden Virginia is around £17)

To clarify there will be big discounts for bulk buyers looking to sell on. 100+ from about £7.50 pouch. People could easily buy at this price and sell on in their local area for £10-11 a pouch.

Cheers

Hi TobaccoKingUK!

I paid 18 pounds for the real tobbacco as the only one I know who sells it is on holiday.

I would love for there to be tobbacco sold here as long as its the real one and not the Chinese stuff (which is not made by Golden Virginia but comes in the pouches)

As for 100, I hink you will sell bulk amounts as UK to UK would be safe and easy.

There is a vendor from Portugal who did sell Golden Virginia.

I don't fancy getting things sent from Moldova as customs are not silly and know a lot of tobbacco comes that route.

Good luck and hope you become a vendor soon!

LOL Where do you live? Sorry for my reaction but Amber Leaf is at least £16 in the UK. Even I don't get it for less than 4 euro! In fact I doubt there are many places in the world you can get a 50g pouch for 4 euro mate.

To clarify (thegoodgirl82) all my tobacco is 100% fully legit Golden Virginia and Amber Leaf from Gibraltar with English writing. There is no way you could build a successful base of repeat customers on SR selling fake stuff. This is the real deal at a great price for the end user as it is sourced from one of the cheapest places to buy it near Europe. (Gibraltar is not actually in the EU, hence cheaper price)

Godness420, at your price for 40g a 50g pouch would work out just over 6euro. Around £5. This very fortunate for yourself. Here we pay excessive tax and duty. So for yourself, for sure it would not be a good deal, I cannot compete with the price in your country.

The tobacco is a similar price in Gibraltar but then I have to pay people to get it out of the country. Then I have to bring it in to England from mainland Europe.

£10 for one pouch down to £7.50 for 100+ and all prices and amounts in between (open for discussion with buyer) is, I feel, in most cases, a fair pricing system for me and the end user.

Count yourself lucky! hehe ;-)

two 50g packs are sold for £15 on the street, in the part of the UK that i am from, but then again, there are a lot of people in my area doing tobacco runs to Tenerife and selling it on street, its not always golden virginia or amber leaf, but most of the stuff i have bought has been good .

Hi mate, yes in your situation if there are a lot of people who are doing runs the local price may have been driven down in light of the competition. However, as far as a constant supply available for anything from 1 pouch to pretty much any amount within reason (with rates open for discussion) it would still be a valuable service on SR. Even at the most expensive price of £10 for one pouch is still a £7 saving on Tesco prices.

Even for yourself pal, if you can get cheaper for small amounts buy local for sure. However, if you are stuck, grab some from me once I'm set up :-)
