How much would you/do you pay...?

How much do you pay in your area on average for an 8th of Cubes and the same 8th of Blue meanies (Copelandia Cyanescens, not the "cubensis" strain).
In other words, I'd lke to know what the spread is when buying two different species' with such dramatic differences in potency.
It's like comparing a volkswagen to a mercedez, do I imagine the Copes are at least twice as pricey no?

around here an eighth of cubes is $20,
but pretty much no one I know sells shrooms with good knowledge of the strain. no one would even know what a cyanescens is if I brought it up, so essentially a shroom is a shroom

thats why i dont sell very much of the mushrooms i get during season. Nobody would pay me what they are actually worth cause they all think a shroom is a shroom, and the ones they can get for 20 an eighth are the same.
Oh well their loss, more for me.

shrooms usually go for $25 an 8th during summer and $30-35 and 8th during winter. Never heard of 'blue meanies' before.

Eighth of cubes here ranges from $10-20 ($60-$100 for an ounce), cyanescens go for $30-40.

in my area people pay anywhere from $25 to $35 an 8th. i'd say most common is $30. quarter pounds are like $500. ounces are $160?? prices fluctuate. in general, it's pretty dry. i think this is cause i live in a college town (things are more expensive because of more demand).

I don't think you are fortunate enough to have blue meanies inhabiting your neck of the woods. The blue meanies I get cropping up naturally in my area extend all around the gulf coast states and like it very hot and wet. The ones I see are most certainly Panaeolus (Copelandia) Cyanescens and are most certainly at least 2-3 times more potent than the commercial Cubensis' I've had before.
I normally don't get visuals from dried cubensis until after breaking the 8th mark, but 1 gram of the fresh blue meanies can set off intense visuals.

damn 60-100$ for an ounce. Over here $120 is considered an amazing price that nobody can find. The standard price is 150 for an O, but ppl easily buy em for 170 at this time of year.

Yeah I know, $120 was the best price I ever saw 100 miles north of where I live now. There just seems to be an abundant supply here, I think there's some folks who just mass-produce mushrooms. About a year ago they busted a house that was so full with terrarium-filled mushrooms that there whoever was tending them didn't have room to live in the house. I figured prices would spike, but they've stayed pretty much normal.

just curious while your all at it, from what i hear cyans are 2 to three times more potent.
My experiences seem too agree, but in your opinions, what does a gram of cyans equate to? two grams cyans? three? In terms of the weight of standard cubes.

In my town, and surrounding area, mushrooms are extremely rare to come by. Unfortunately I'm actually the only soul that can get them in my whole town. I could charge up the ass for them as no one else could get them anyway, but I'm not about that.
I get cubes (only) for $25 an 1/8. I charge the same exact price I get them for, though. So they would go for $25 around here.
Whenever anyone else picks up and brings them into town they charge $40 an 1/8! It's bullshit.

I've never gotten cyans, but I pay anywhere from $15 to $30 for an 8th of cubies. Price is not a good indicator of potency, as I've had many $15 8ths that knocked me on my ass.

I always pay $20 for an eighth...never more. It doesn't vary for different strains around here. The people that grow them know not to overcharge because everyone knows that growing mushrooms is relatively inexpensive for how much you get. And picked shrooms are never worth more...how much labor did you endure to pick your shrooms that grow in all your patches you already know about? I'm sure it isn't worth hundreds of dollars for your minimal effort...people that charge ridiculous amounts for mushrooms are kind of dumb, and assholes, because I can just turn my back from a $40 eighth of copes and go buy five hits of LSD and be fucked for 3x as long, and waayy higher, for only $20.
I'm ashamed of anyone who spends that much on an eighth of mushies. And I'm disappointed in anyone who charges that much.

Around Detroit it's hard to come by good acid, and shroomies aren't readily available considering the demand that at least I've experienced. $35 is a "good" price around here but typically you'll pay $40 an eighth.

Damn guys, thanks for all the responses. It's astonishing to see how many differing schools of thought and variations there are on the subject.
Ever since I discovered an amazing hunting spot for cyans I've had friends and acquaintences hounding me to sell them some. The supply is limited, and it wouldn't be fair to only sell or give them away selectively, so it would only make sense for me to charge an exhorbitant price for them or not sell/give them out at all. Supply and demand I guess.
These buggers are STRONG. I ate less than a dry gram last night at a mardi gras event downtown and thought I wouldn't feel much at all, or just a low level buzz, but two hours into it, I was in my shroomiverse again, colors, sounds, thoughts just tapering off. The whole world looked like a flowing oil painting. Had extended philosophical discussions with some friends who had taken some DOM mistaken for acid to their dismay (They're still tripping now, 15hrs later).
Mushrooms are impossible to find here on the street. You're lucky if you get dusty old cube stems for less than $30 an 1/8th.

$10 dollars a gram is a fair price. Cyans are about twice as potent as cubes so should be more expensive. so with the standard price being 20-25 for an eighth of cubes a 15 dollar markup would be fair i think.

cubes should not be more than 20-25 anymore and its a rip off.

I would much rather try cyans next time i guess, but I've always gotten cubes every time....It's okay though, they still give me tons of visuals and a real good time!

I think the sheer strength of the cyans, and the serotonin factored into it make the cyans a much much MUCH better mushroom.
I'm talking of course about Panaeolus Cyanescens, not the inferior Psilocybe Cyanescens.

Yes, and while the psilocybe cyans are markedly stronger than cubes, they still have essentially the same "feel" as the cubes, which I find to be less pleasant, entheogenic, and colorful than Pan Cyans. The Pan (Copes) Cyans are not only stronger, but smoother, and more euphoric. Everything seems to flow alot more and be coated by oil paint in my cope trips as opposed to just morphing and confusing visuals with cubes or psilly cyans. I still love even cubes though, don't get me wrong.

Are spores illegal in Wisconsin or surrounding states? If not, I would say find a place that sells grow kits, do some research on cultivation and give it a go.

Mushrooms shouldn't be fucking sold, they should all be free in my opinion. But you could say that about all drugs, but shrooms don't take anywhere near as much effort to harvest and consume.

Need no forgiveness , an eighth refers to 3.5 grams, or an eighth of an ounce.
In my area, most attempt to charge as high as 80 an eighth, and sadly many are willing to pay this much, out of pure ignorance to the process. Ive gotten someone to go from 80 to 15 without much hassle, you just have to make it clear you know what your talking about.
Anyway, i would probably pay 20-30$ for an eighth of cubes depending on the seller, and if i was lucky enough to come across meanies (unlikely) i would pay as much as 40-50, also depending on the seller. It means a lot to me to have someone who respects mushrooms for what they are (relatively. I realize anyone who sells for profit lacks the same respect as others, oh well). I am not stingy at all when it comes to money, however i do feel a little bit dirty after dropping 25 for an eighth knowing full well it is produced at a fraction or that.
Moral of the story - Personals for the win.

Postulio said: Mushrooms shouldn't be fucking sold, they should all be free in my opinion. But you could say that about all drugs, but shrooms don't take anywhere near as much effort to harvest and consume.
If it didn't take any effort, it would be much easier to find them where I'm at. It's not, it's fucking IMPOSSIBLE with a capital I.
The only reason I would consider selling them is because It wouldn't be fair to just give them away to some of my friends and leave the others excluded since they are so damn difficult to come by. Thusly, the only way to make it fair is to sell them for dirt cheap, but it's the only way.
I am in an area with a heavy drug using population. In fact, very heavy, and although I don't indulge in most of them, it would be very easy for me to find weed, coke, ecstasy, bars, oxys, meth, valium, pure dxm, and even heroin.
What's hard to find around here are true psychedelics. Acid, Mescaline, 2C's, etc. But even those are easier to find than mushrooms.
