Am I getting ripped off or is this a good deal?
    #22319570 - 10/01/15 03:00 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I'm getting a quarter (like 7g?) for $90 from a "buddy" who says he's hooking me up, is this a fair price or am I getting ripped off? They're good quality shrooms, it's just I've never paid that much before.

Edit: No, shrooms are really hard to come by where I live. It took me forever to find this dude because trust me if I knew someone else I wouldn't be going to this person. And they seem pretty strong, I took about 3g last time and I was at like a level 3/4 trip.

Edit2: Well, the guy took my $90 and never came back with my shrooms so I guess it was a rip-off. *sigh* Such is life.

bad deal.
a quarter should be 60 at absolute max. and even that is ridiculous considering you could grow pounds for less than 200$ and the info on this site.

unless you're talking a quarter pound you're getting ripped off.

I can.

as I said. you could grow more mushrooms than you could physically consume for 200$ and essentially have as many attempts as you wanted to "change your life".

so he is getting 7g for 90$
and could be getting 1,000 grams for slightly more than double that price.

it's also wrong to be greedy with them.

everyone has bills to pay, but a 90 dollar quad is robbery.

Supply VS Demand.

Do you have access to other shrooms? Are they abundant/common in your area?

Main factors...Generally speaking -no, that's not a particularly good deal at all.

Well did he grow them? It depends how much the person selling them got them for. Supply and demand is a great point as well. And how strong are they? What's the average trip?

Everyone here claims its a rip off but if you live in a area where they a re hard to find them it might not be the worst deal. You also need to know how many g's a basic trip is with these shrooms then you can decide for yourself if that many trips is worth 90 dollars,

it is a bad deal for what it takes to produce 7g of mushrooms. If $90 has little value to you, then fuck it. Money is easy to come by. Exotic fungus is easy to grow, but not so easy to come by in some areas.

You need to make the call for yourself, but the answer to your question almost all across America would be $90 is a ripoff for 7 dried grams of P. Cubensis mushrooms.

if your circumstance is that you cannot find any then maybe he is doing you a favor

maybe update later and tell us if the trip was worth $45? :shrug: :rofl:

If it's worth it to you then I would say no you didn't get ripped off.

I wouldn't personally pay that much for them but I grow my own. I don't like shrooms very much either anyways.
I don't think that shrooms will change your life much more than what you ate for breakfast to be honest.

By "buddy" I assume you mean just some random drug "friend". Yeah you are getting ripped off OP... but you said they're hard to come by in your neck of the woods. And money isn't that hard to come by. 7 grams of mushrooms should get you two trips, three max. So that'd be roughly $40 a trip. A mushroom trip should last about 5 hours, give or take... so that's roughly $10 an hour. Ouch... Obviously it's up to you though. Just a thought-how do you know these mushrooms are any good? That'd blow really hard if they turned out being bunk.
