Title: US Reseller of Top Vender Products?
Post by: novakane on March 12, 2012, 11:24 am
So lately I've been wanting to join the ranks of vendors on SR, but my local area is horrendous and I have no access to worthwhile merchandise to offer here. I'm a businessman at heart, however haha.

While brainstorming ideas for services I could offer, I considered a reselling service offering international vendors' products domestically. I know some vendors do similar things already, but I don't know of any that make this their public business model. Buyers could vote on or request certain vendors' products to be resold domestically. I'd like to hear your comments on the idea, community. And also, what kinds of products and which vendors' products you'd like to see if you think this idea is worthwhile.


The main pros of ordering domestically from me as a reseller in the US would be:

1) Less risk for being seized (though many experienced international vendors know what they're doing)
2) Delivery speed. Countless times have I wanted to order something from an international vendor in time for an event without enough time for shipping. I'm located centrally in the US, so shipping speed would be a big focus for me as I should be able to reach most states quickly.
3) Quality. I would be upfront about who each product was from. You'd be getting product shipped domestically but with the quality reviews of proven international vendors. Also, I wouldn't follow through with this plan unless I could at least compete with other domestic vendors on price.


All constructive comments and opinions and such would be appreciated!

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'd like to see someone do this, anyway. You could also internationally ship products that some people only offer domestically. It'd be nice to have another domestic vendor, of course, so just stocking the same things as other people is always nice, take the load off some other people maybe? Good luck.

I like the shipping domestic-only products internationally too. That's definitely something I'll consider as well.

I was thinking of this too.  Only one problem.

If customs finds your order of 1g MDMA /10 strip LSD/ whatever from the netherlands, you're out $50/$100 bucks, oh well.

If customs finds your order of an LSD bible and a kilo of MDMA, not only are you out several grand but prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law.

**PLEASE RESELL USA-->USA IVORY MDMA**

Ivory has great shipping methods and seems to have great success getting large amounts of MDMA into the US and tough-customs countries.

Her 50g MDMA listing is $40/g (I'm sure s/he offers more discount for a bigger order). If someone in the US were able to make a reputation for themselves reselling Ivory's MDMA domestically with good packaging (not cutting the product obviously), I think they could easily sell it for $80/g. (I know I would definitely buy grams at that price or 10g for $700). If you establish yourself as an honest, straightforward vendor I think you would dominate the domestic MDMA competition. (I had high hopes for Tony, but his MDMA is either just not my cup of tea or he is selectively scamming people.. Seems the product I got was heavily cut).

I would order from Ivory myself but I am somewhat hesitant to make any more overseas orders after losing one order from the NL.

Oh and I would also love to buy Ivory's 2CB domestically even with a 20-30% markup.

Valid point element. I guess that's another reason to buy from a domestic reseller though. I take the risk and take the necessary means of security for larger purchases so you fellow customers don't have to.

I've had my experience with the long dick of the law before, and would take all precautions to keep that long dick of the law as flaccid as possible.


@gigles - Thanks for the input. Ivory was a vendor that crossed my mind. People love the mdma, but us US folk are always timid about ordering across the pond.

Also, having honest and straightforward business practices would be a focus for me. I have a deep hatred for shady people, shady business, and shady products.

I have thought extensively about doing this before but simply don't currently have the capital / transportation / living situation to make it feasible. Ivory's MDMA seems to present perhaps the best cost/benefit calculus for a US importer and domestic reseller. (UK not being a particularly suspect country from which to receive mail).

But if you're willing to import large amounts from the NL and take the necessary precautions to do so.. I would go with SKYY. His shipping seems to be the unanimously chosen best from NL.  It would be very easy to resell his MDMA or pills for at least double their price in the domestic market.

I often wonder why no one has yet to operate under such a business model before. I think Paperchasing was doing it for a while but not on any scale / he seemed a little sketch. You seem like a good guy so if you feel you are prepared to do it, and able to take sufficient precautions, you should go for it. Count me as a customer..

I've thought about it but the part stopping me is capital. Not only do you have to have enough capital to get your first shipment, but also enough to hold you over until everyone finalizes or god forbid you get a bunch of idiots letting your transactions auto-finalize.

Say you started with 10k in product (just a nice round #) and you sold it all you'd have to order AT LEAST 10k in more product before you even got paid for the first set. In reality you'd probably have to bump up to 15k on the 2nd order just because the name would be getting out and people will be beating your inbox door down. That is if you want continuity in your product offering. Good luck if you try to do it. I'm sure you'd be successful as long as you got your stuff straight before diving head first.

Good idea! Although I think it would of been best to keep to yourself, so you can get a head start  and establish yourself before many people get the idea and do so as well.

I think I'm going to think on this idea for a little while.  There's a lot of preparing to do for this kind of business, and I don't want to jump in head first without being completely ready.  As someone else in these forums once wisely said, "sell drugs yes, or sell drugs no."

If I do get things going, I'll be sure to let everyone know.  And I'll hook up the orders of anyone who helped me out here haha.
