When I look around YouTube and message boards, some people brag about low prices ($20 for an 1/8th, etc.) and some people post seemingly regular prices ($40-50 per 1/8th). I've seen about a 50/50 split.
Is it just about knowing the better dealers? That seems more like luck than skill.
Also age/duration in stoner community.
A large chunk of retail pricing ( and wholesale, really) is " risk premium". If a customer brings with them a greater chance of legal intanglements,/rip-offs/ hassle, the customer pays more. In any situation. The seller needs a higher profit to accept the increased risk.
This happens right down the line from producer to final consumer- If a mid-level wholesaler gets a rep for playing fast and loose, his/her upstream will either cut them off, or charge them a risk premium.
When you've been in a community for a long time, and you have good bona-fides, pricing drops accordingly. Often, amongst people who have been dealing with each other for decades, retail mark-up barely even covers the gas to drop it off- the perception of risk is very low, so nobody needs to get an extra x$ on top to put aside for their lawyer when things go wrong.
Also quality, availability of alternate product, depth in distro network, regional pricing diffs.
This probably is just my community. I've been loyal for 6 years and am over 21 years old, but this place is stuck up, so that risk premium makes sense.
How me and my friends get cheap weed is we all chip in for a QP, the price is cheaper per gram and just figure out how much you get depending on how much you chip in. One guy goes and sees the dealer and the dealer likes the bigger purchases results in even cheaper weed down the road.
I am just lucky. I use to buy weed from someone who bought weed from my dealer i paid the normal price which was 50 a quarter now i get halfs of the same shit from my dealer for 70. Its just how it goes. One day things will change for you.

I'm not sure of the prices in your area, but about 500 for a decent mid, up to 650 for some better name strain stuff.Quote:
