not sure if this is the right board, but whatever haha
so i had just a general question that i thought might make for good discussion:
without getting into too much intimate detail (unless you are comfortable with that), what kind of profits are SR vendors pulling down? i know everyone deals in different merch and different quantities. do you sell as a main source of income? supplementary cash? is it just a hobby that you enjoy but dont profit much from it?
for me, i dont think i'd take the risk unless i knew my profit margin would be pretty substantial. what about you chaps?

Pretty sure some of the top vendors make a killing. You can do some quick math by looking at their product offerings and the amount of feedback they have on their SR profile if you're really curious.

To a degree - they set the cap on transactions showing now which is good from a snooping-DEA-agent perspective.
I'm sure some of them do. I make it respectable on here myself, but that's only because I'm not selling as many small amounts as a lot of the top vendors in my category (the top ones mostly sell 1gram - 1/8). I do a lot of 1/2 oz - 1oz packages, and have also had a good number of QP's go out, but they only show up as out of escrow orders. My volume is not as high but I would be willing to bet my per-transaction is far higher that most of the others in my category.
