best way to approach dispensaries to sell product?

[vegetabongrips]

shit, ive seen alot say they wont pay over 800 no matter how good.....but thats when you just walk away:jointsmile:

:wtf:

Information like this would be excellent to know in reviews of places. I wouldn't want to support a dispensary which was shafting its growers.

Not saying that you are, but if you are one of those dispensaries that are only offering $900.00-$950.00 per QP, that would be why.

That's how much we ask for our Jack Flash. Maybe we should be greedier. imp:

I guess that would depend on your Jack Flash.

Touché. Check the Jack thread.

Will do. I apologize for my attitude. I just reread my posts here and I seem to have donned an asshole suit over the course of this thread. I'm just getting tired of anticipating which hoops I will need to jump through next.

Peace,

It's not shafting the grower if the grower agrees to it. Quality will be a big factor in determining what dispensaries will pay. If it's something special and the product brings them customers they wouldn't normally get, they will consider the price worth paying and so will their customers. It's also not shafting the grower if a dispensary grows their own and sells it for whatever they want.

I didn't get that at all, we're cool. You seem to bring a lot of knowledge to the board. You should see some of the posts I have to read and respond to on other sites. :wtf:

Right, except in the example described they're not considering the quality. And they're probably still charging the customers as if they are.

I don't mean "it'd be nice to know" as if it should be a normal thing to know about a business btw But if a place is saying to the growers that they'll only pay 'x', end of story...that just isn't the kind of place I would want to support regardless if the grower is free to go somewhere else. Hopefully they will, and the quality will suffer and hopefully we'd know about that...it's just nice to know the inside scoop so that you don't have to get to that point.

This does happen, but in my experience, there are times when the patient is as much or more a part of the problem as is the dispensary owner. When a dispensary can't move good product because a goodly number of clueless patients want something purple because purple pot looks cool, the dispensary owner is going to buy purple pot and price it as high as he can get away with, no matter how mediocre it may be, because he's got to cover his ass on his overhead, which includes all that really good green/gold bud he paid for that he's having a problem moving because the eye candy crowd thinks purple pot is cool because it's purple.:wtf:

That's the rub isn't it? I predict that this will start happening PDQ now that the writing is on the wall.

Hopefully they will, and the quality will suffer and hopefully we'd know about that...it's just nice to know the inside scoop so that you don't have to get to that point.

These laws are just another attempt to pervert the free market in favor of a political agenda. Supply and demand economics is formulaic and predictable.

You fuck with the free market like this and all sorts of other really stupid and negative shit starts to happen.

That is probably why I get more for the purple than anything else (even the WW, which is probably overall better medicine; but not 20% better )

You guys above are right though, there are quite a few that told me straight up they won't pay more than $800 a QP for ANYTHING... those go to the bottom of the list under 'desperation' sales... since Releaf says there are less vendors right now, I am looking forward to the next harvest - I may just have to pop in to give them a visit when the time comes
