I've recently been really frustrated recently with the lack of fair-priced LSD on SR.
I will be moving back to my home city after a summer away, and should be able to source some sheets for pretty good prices. These hits would probably be 100ug+ and would probably cost me $400/sheet. I'm basically looking to help out the LSD-seeking community and at the same time trying to find a good way to get bitcoins without using Dwolla and the like (which ultimately links to a bank acc, seems insecure to me).
Preferably, I would sell the hits for ~$7/hit (after escrow fees). This would include shipping fees and cover any losses from lost mail (not sure how much of a risk this is) and at the same time, guarantee myself a decent exchange rate for BTC (and cut risk of BTC losing value while in escrow for that matter). Because I also don't want to try and convert BTC into $, I wont be doing this for a profit, and will likely only be doing this whenever I need BTC.
Now the question: Would there be people interested? I'm fairly sure the answer is yes, but the only constraints being that I have no current feedback and will not offer free samples (Again, I'm not in it to make a profit, so I'm not all that interested in trutg to secure repeat business) Who would have to wait until I have feedback and how many would be willing to forego the risk and order? (obviously, I will go through escrow and use PGP, so there won't be much risk to begin with) I know plenty of people would be willing to order once I have feedback, but I don't want to be sitting around with a sheet of acid that I purchased to convert to BTC when there's something I need to buy with BTC (I can plan ahead a few days before I need/want to make a purchase, but I can only wait so long)
Second question: Once I have good feedback (which at these prices, I'm sure I will) would there be a good number of people willing to send the BTC through escrow immediately after I ship? I wouldn't expect people to do this early on, but would hope people would be willing to for these prices once they've ordered before with good results or have at least heard it from others. Otherwise, the process of finding a sheet, buying it, listing it, dealing with orders, shipping it, and then waiting 4+ days for it to get there might be more work for me than it is worth. I figure since I won't be selling consistently (only when I need BTC), it wont be too hard to find people who are camping out to buy for better prices. Also, for people wondering how often I'd sell, I'd assume roughly 1 sheet per month, though it would definitely be a lot more sporadic than that.
Now to my shipping question:
I choose to use LSD for this transaction for four main reasons:
1) SR prices are outrageous on LSD (at least compared to sources in my area)
2) I morally have no problem supplying LSD to whoever wants it because I believe it to be harmless and non-addicting
3) I enjoy psychedelics myself, and like to share the experience
4) I hear that LSD is odorless/colorless and nearly impossible to trace through mail, this is my main reason, and also why I will only ship to the US, because I want to minimize any risk involved (though if I felt my shipping method was top-notch and had been successful for 99% of orders, I would consider shipping internationally at some point in some cases if I wanted to move product faster or wanted to offer some to special, international customers, like those who supply me with what I want :P)
Though I know LSD is nearly impossible to trace, I don't know the best way to ship it. I have my ideas and have read around a little bit, but I'm not sure I'm convinced that I know the best method just yet. I have no problems going out of my way to get the best envelopes, labels, and shipping materials required to ship LSD (obviously my price factors into your price ultimately, so the cheaper the better, but I'm willing to pay for better materials if I have to/should), I just don't quite know what all those things are. In order for me to fore go this experiment, I request that someone who knows these things not only sends me a detailed message or reply including what the best method is (from explaining return addresses to materials used), but also explaining to me why this is the best method (both for preservation and safety of seller/buyer)
Thanks for your input, but I obviously can't guarantee anything will actually happen at this point, I'm just gauging interest at this point and probably wont start any operation until late August at the earliest.

Hurry up and make it happen!

Please do hurry!my first LSD experience will be from SR :D

I would consistently buy sheets. And maybe vacuum sealed with a couple of sheets of paper might suffice. This would protect the sheet if the letter ends up getting caught out in the rain or something.
