That's left to high school kids who need a little extra cash, but a lot of dealers make their living off selling, and selling $20 a couple times a day is not enough to live off of.

They ignore you because they don't want to be bothered leaving the house, and becoming a heat score for a small $20. If they're going to take the risk, they want to make sure it pays off.

They appreciate big sales. I don't mean pounds, but try buying a half ounce from them for a little while, then maybe they won't be hesitant by getting busted over $20 worth of pot.

I'm not trying to offend you, but I used to deal with people just like this. They don't want people calling them twice a day, like, 3 or 4 times a week, for small amounts. They risk their ass big time, and it's just not worth it over small amounts.

That's all I'm saying.
You're wrong there though.. You can certainly make a TON of money selling $20 bags... if you buy an ounce at $300 (average bud around here, usually the mid-ish quality nyc diesel) you can sell a gram a bag at $20 each and make $560. Sell 0.9 grams a bag and make $620.. Thats doubling your money. And like you are even saying, its much less likely to get busted over a 20 bag than it is when ounces are moving hands.

Thats done for a living around here. True, its more of the younger crowd but I know people making livings off this type of thing since they were in high school. Thats a $300 profit per ounce, basically doubling your amount of money you initially spent simply by bagging up some bud. In a highly populated area in where everyone smokes pot, its not hard to flip an ounce per day or two like that if its good bud and you know the right people.

Those who smoke more then just occasionaly obviously either don't do that method, and they are usually the ones supplying it and smoking from their profits or buying small (1/8 - 1/4) to moderate (1/2 - 1 oz) amounts of bud. There are plenty of people who only smoke to an occasional point where buying large amounts isn't even that practical and you of course have to know the right people, since not everyone sells more than just individual bags. Connections are everything too though.
