seems you have to have a pharmacy tackle box to cater to the drug culture today....sutprised people are still doing those same old tired ass druggs....your idea of good weed may differ from the next person and you'll pay a certain amount for a certain type and so on...
and yea...you'll never know how they make money till you figure it out yoursaelf...you won't find the 'How to sell drugs for Dummies' at the book shop...
so keep buyin from him or join him...or find another dealer...you may be overpaying...:D

There's no way any respectable dealer is paying that much.

Not around me anyways. If I'm getting QP's for $285, I'd think my guy is getting 'bows for $800-$900.

i can get shittier for cheaper
ive been known for dealing "fire" or wtf else people like to call it...its always been the best weed in town. id rather have everyone want to come to me first...
hell if i really wanted the profit i could go to canada like a few people i have known
thats some stupid shit though there is enough pot in the US to risk smuggling.
also driving is a factor for me...an hour or so away is way cheaper, but i never liked driving that
i prefer legit jobs anyway and risk of selling sucks

What you gotta do is sell crack, and then rap about selling crack. You'll make lots of money. Just stay strapped; fiends are like zombies. You can shoot them twice and they wont be incapacitated. You have to hit the brain. If you don't they chew your arm off and smoke your blood.

if this isnt an appropriate topic, sorry, just tell me ill edit it.
My dealer gets a pound, (16 oz.) for $1440.
thats $90/oz.
he sells for $100/oz.
he also has a 08 corvette, 08 malibu, 07 chevy, and only smokes purp ($20/g) about 6 blunts a day-$140 a day.
he sells all his stuff himself, all day long, no job. am i missing something or how does he profit enough to live upper middle class dealing like that?
i call bullshit, or he's selling to you at a discount because you are close friends. or he's not really a dealer, just hooks up friends.
it's common knowledge that in the illegal drug trade, you charge 200% what you paid for it. it is the unwritten rule. otherwise, unless you are moving big weight, it would not be worth it.
if you sell and you can't charge that much, you need a better hookup. the profit margin is so high because it is a risky business.
and no i do not sell drugs.

your guy is making at least 50 each ounce on you, believe that. what he tells you he pays for a pound is what he would make you pay for a pound

Actually thats a rule of thumb in legitimate business too.
If you buy an XYZ in the store, the shopkeep paid 50% and the wholesaler paid 25%.
At least, thats how it used to be.

If he was't making money on it (a worthwhile amount), he wouldn't be doing it. sounds like he is into something other than ganja though.

an ounce > gas

I've had that brown brick shit before. It was going for $200/lb. I would rather pay double that and get some decent shit.

Why wouldn't you just buy two QPs for $160?
I actually see this sort of thing all the time with coke dealers. A dub is .5 but a gram is $50? I think that I'll get two dubs instead.

Yes, charging less per ounce the more that you buy makes prefect sense and is usually how drug dealing is done. But in the situation that you described, one would pay more per ounce buying a HP than if they bought two QPs (the same exact amount). If anybody fell for this they are an idiot. Same as people buying grams for $50 when they could get two dubs that weight the same.
