anyone successful at mushroom dealing?
Man, what a question!
First off, it is not easy money and it is a lot of work. Everyone seems to think you will make lots of easy money and for some reason it does not seem to work out.
You find people through networking. You know some one who knows some one who wants it. So let me explain how it tends to go. This way you know what you are walking into.
Here is what I have found.
#1) Everyone claims to want lbs, then buys Oz. It normally goes something like "Dude, Ill take all the shrooms you can get!" You show up with 10lbs and they look at it and ask "can I just get an 1/8th of an Oz for now?" I stopped this by asking to see the money first and if they showed me the money and did it when I got the product to them, I would charge a $100 "Risk Fee." AKA I risk my ass you pay up!
#2) When you do not have it, everyone is looking for lbs. When you do have it, no one wants to buy any. This has become the standard over the last year or so.
#3) "Everyone fronts" or my favorite "The guys in New Mexico front me 5lbs at a time." No one fronts in the business, and if anyone claims that they are normally fronted, they are lying and do not know what the FUCK they are doing! If you front, be prepared to break bones collecting. I have found that pulling there fingernails out with pliers tends to get them to pay up. One finger nail each week until paid! I fell for the "Everyone Fronts" a couple of times. If you do not have the size, guns, and balls to collect, DO NOT FRONT!
Oh, and to the guys in New Mexico, Man word is getting around you may want to back off. I am over 500 miles away from you!
#4) Up from the bottom or down from the top? Every one seems to think they know what it is worth. The guys who buy in Oz, will take the Oz price, multiply by 16 and think the shit is cheep. (For example $180oz X 16 = $2,880 so the lb price of $1,400 seems cheep!) The people who buy 3 to 5 lbs at a time will take the price they pay and divide it. (For example 5 lbs cost them $4800 so they will not pay more than $960 a lb or $240 for a QP. Then they want a QP at that price to try it.) No one understands the sliding scale, It costs less per g the more you buy.
#5) Every one can find it cheaper some where else. I have heard so many stories it is not funny. Recently "Dude, the guys in New Mexico not only front me, they only charge me $400 a lb for the good stuff." My response, "So don't call me, call them."
#6) Lots of people seem to think they can buy a lb drive it over to some one else, sell them the lb and double their money. Sorry, it don't work that way. If you make $100 on that move, you are doing good.
#7) When you find a good mover, they get out of the business in a few months and you are looking again. It makes it hard to keep a good mover and keep quantity moving. I have gone over to vacuum sealing and freezing any excess due to #2 and #7. That way I have lbs ready when needed.
and #8) Some one, some where will think they have more friends, guns, or balls than you and will try to rip you off. I have been ripped off a few times. Just walk away and let them have the shit. Then catch them later and take care of the issue.
I have trouble finding people to move a few lbs at a time. I see all kinds of new people on the board asking what it takes to grow bulk. The truth is, it is easier to grow bulk than it is to move it after words. If you are thinking about dealing, make sure you know what you are getting into. It is not easy money and there is a lot of risk involved. The bull shit is deep and every one thinks the drug dealer has lots of money. (Which makes you a target for a ripoff)
Be safe and don;t do anything stupid!
Hope this helps.
