Title: Dealing in bulk, what mark-up?
Post by: Aang on March 24, 2013, 04:53 pm
I'm thinking about leveraging the cheap prices on here and selling a few ounces to my local dealer, essentially making my purchases free. what percentage mark-up would be reasonable to add?

Say I get an oz of thai stick for £130, would it be reasonable to sell it for £200?

Also any other tips/tricks to share would be welcome.

Whatever he will buy it for is reasonsable

^ True, but £200 an oz for thai stick is pretty unreasonable. Usually if someone buys an oz, they sell it in smaller amount (8ths or so). If someones buying a 9 bar / pound, they'll sell in ounces because the marking up price usually only works if you're willing to buy in bulk

Jesus Christ, who pays £200 for an O of Thai stick?
An O of high grade is cheaper than that here.

You can't sell bulk unless you can buy bulk.

You can't expect a profit buying an ounce and selling an ounce in one go, unless you're OK with making like 20 quid, or you have found a mug willing to pay  a fortune for it.
