Hello party people,
Just wondering why silk road cocaine is, in general, so expensive? Is it really that superior to street product or what's the deal with that? Some of the best selling stuff is like 1.25-1.5+ btc per gram. Street level price this is absolutely ridiculous, I've bought pure fish for cheaper than that and I got had the stuff in my hand 10 seconds later.
not really big into coke anyway but just seemed crazy that people are paying for it.

Some things here are extremely expensive, like cocaine and oxy. The cocaine here isn't superior to the street stuff and some vendors sell you a gram of lactose for $130. SR isn't really good for oxy or cocaine, but other drugs are pretty cheap here compared to on the streets.

Yeah for MD and LSD for sure it's amazing, not to mention all the drugs you can get on here that you could never get on the street. Just couldn't imagine who would pay $120+ for a gram.
Thanks for the quick reply !

Keep in mind that the buyers on SR are from all walks of life and vary greatly in age and financial situation. I, for one, don't see the coke prices as that high because I literally cannot get the stuff without traveling a couple of hours to a big city. Then I still wouldn't know any dealers so I would have to search out and take my chances with some street dealer who is probably selling some cut up shit. With the prices on SR, I'm obtaining some killer coke with relative anonymity and no personal interaction with unscrupulous dealers. It seems many buyers have the same motivations because these dealers move a lot of product at these "high" prices.

I once called a small town home so I can definitely relate. Never really thought about it like that, and to be fair some of the prices I see on here aren't that far out there in that context, premo stuff to your door in a place where there's no market for it. I was just taken aback by some vendors who are asking like 1.6btc for a .5 and that kind of thing.
