Title: Another vendor wrote me, don't know how I should feel about it
Post by: TastEtrEats on December 16, 2012, 07:17 am
Another vendor wrote me saying I was pretty much fucking the pot market up with my low prices and to do my self a favor and others a favor and raise my prices. I don't think he is threatening me at least I hope not cause I'm a low key vendor I feel. I haven't been putting normal listings up just custom listings for my current clients and told them I was looking to get new clients. I don't want to fuck it up for other pot vendors but I also want to bring affordable products to SR. So I'm thinking about just not accepting new people at all. WHat are others thoughts about what I should do?

It depends if you're out to make money and sell pot, or make friends with an anonymous person who you'll never have any interaction beyond a PM with.

If you're able to provide a product that is as good or better than others, and do it cheaper, then you're going to be very successful.

Ignore the other guy. He's only interested in protecting his customer base and bottom line, and doesn't give a rat's ass about you or the 'pot market'.

FIREHAWK said it all...We only know our fake screen names non of us are RL friends just Virtual , dude is trying to protect his clients from leaving him and him loosing money, so it sounds like he wants u to higher yours and lose yours.. Not cool!!! Tell him to be a cool guy and bring his prices down some if its that big a deal, no one makes someone buy from a vendor, its useually 1st price 2nd communication and being a decent person in PM that goes both ways though, buys dont treat vendors like tools either. this is their living they are men and women working hard, this takes alot of work!!! to be a vendor, show them love and respect..2 way street..

From a consumer standpoint - who cares? Let us buy their stuff!

And that's how a free market works. The best value gets the most customers. Whoever makes a profit off the best value does the best business. It is all a matter of ratios.... get the best product at the lowest price. Make the best product for the least investment.

TT.. i love you, personally!
and even if your product was a little more expensive i'd pay it.
it's that good and you're that cool to interact with..
but most importantly you're not going to raise prices.
just tell that Vendor to fuck off and drop his prices...
or just sell offline like he did before he came here.
if they cannot afford to match prices/sell product on here then they do not belong here.
obviously they are so small time that they cannot handle match competitor prices..

this is a BLACK MARKET, Tastetreats.. fuck them other nigga's!
i love you! keep up the good work..
this Market is here and ran by people like you, TT. you're the reason this place still exists! :)

Post by: coolkid321 on December 16, 2012, 01:17 pm
man fuck him,sounds like he's hating. IMO like Thumbs said  I'd pay a little more for it. maybe do zips for 230 w free shipping and qp's for like 750-775 and the rest accordingly. and limit your customers. take a few more on and cap it at a reasonable number because once everyone catches wind of your good product they'll overload you with order possibly causing you to shut down or something.

either way I'm glad I made it in as a customer! cant wait to get my first order from you.

I believe you when you say you are low key - here you are posting with a normal forum account & no ads for your biz - that is low key. 

Do your own thing, man. Work your own business plan and satisfy your own conscience. Personally, I hope you continue to sell to new people. This place is growing by leaps & bounds - there should be room for everyone to make money.

run your business how you want to.  every vendor on SR should know what they are getting themselves into, and if they can't roll with it, they'll be left behind.

Personally I think price fixing is bullshit and If i catch wind of this vendor trying to organize a price fixing to increase prices i'll do what i have to to have them banned and those that work with the scheme. It's underhanded bad business, karma and in the end it will always be undermined so dont do it if you would like to have any business on Silk Road. There are enough customers for all vendors fixing prices will do nothing positive. If you think you can pull it off with me on the case you'll get tired of trying to get enough feedback on a vendor account top actual make money at the rate you want because your be buying vendor accounts so often you'll wish you'd had listen to this voice of reason. Don't bring hood practices to the road.

Very well said Bloodbath!!! As i was pretty much trying to say the same in my first post on here.. As well as showing respect for buyers/vendors everyone deserves it. But you have some Kids that get on here and decide this is 4chan or something and wanna troll on the forums, this is a community and we are under watch so lets show people who watch drug buyers and sellers can conduct business with out outrages ,blackmail, etc etc.. We are writing history lets show the world we are just the same if not better than some of the so called "NORMAL" class working citizens out there. As Bloodbath said plenty enough buyers for all..

This is how it should be. Price fixing is shit.

One of the most beautiful things about the Silk Road... You can keep your prices where they are, and because you're anonymous, you don't have to worry about the competition slashing your tires or kidnapping you because they don't want to stop marking their shit up excessively.

Fuck this dude.

sounds like they cannot handle the influx of the Marijuana market. :)
tsk tsk tsk.. a big Vendor.. trying to price fix/gouge. what a fucking joke..
but go figure.

and as for TT bringing "hood rat shit" to Silk Road.. idk how he is..
he is a stand up Vendor with amazing product with reflecting prices.
you could do anything you want on here TT and still be the brightest star in the skies. :)
i will continue buying from you until you make me feel like you don't deserve my bitcoins anymore! :)

much love to you and yours TT... wish you the best.

Silk Road is not about a world-wide price..
it is about a FREE world-wide market..
ran by a community... which is run by individuals.
each individual has a different taste in something.
.. and the point is that this Road is not build on greed..
it is built on freedom.. and TT has the freedom to list HIS stuff
at whatever price he deems worthy.

and i thank you.. from the bottom of my heart and soul for doing what you're doing.
i seriously can't thank you enough.

the Vendor who is messaging you.. has probably
never had a customer/client tell them "thank you" and really mean it...
in a way beyond a simple gesture of "thanks for the drugs boss."
but instead a genuine "thanks man.. you really just saved my family for Christmas."-type thank you's.

i appreciate you TT.. you really are one in a million sir.
i hope this Christmas is the best Christmas you've ever had..
and i am honored to be able to buy from you.. and let other people in my area
smoke a strain from such a high-class individual/businessman.

thanks again for everything TT..
and as long as YOU can continue doing YOU..
ignore the other Vendors.. because they're not Vendors..
they're Middle Men.

people will understand when they can AFFORD to.
until then sit your broke asses down and stop hating on my man..
TT is doing what ALL marijuana Vendors should be doing..
selling us all PREMIUM, TOP SHELF product at affordable prices.
i know what prices are on the West Coast... and people still wanna ignore those prices..
like they've never heard them before.
i could name 10 Vendors right now without even thinking twice..
that are here for greed and refuse to work with Buyer's requests..
and they're not even crazy requests.. they're completely reasonable.
at least my offers are. :) that is why TT fulfilled it!
if he can.. i know others can, period.. so why not just do it?
the quicker you move your product the faster you're raking in profits..
instead of just slowly selling your shit for big profit.
if you really have access to it, fucking move it.. if you don't.. kick rocks and move.

point of my rant is..
we, the Respected Buyers, would love more Vendors like TT..
he needs help.. he needs competition.. healthy competition.
but there is none because no one wants to run a real business..
they just want to shaft us for our hard earned money..
and make it impossible for us to re-sell..., if we are.

sorry for the essay-story book but i really do appreciate you TASTETREATS.
you're doing me a huge favor.. and i am sure i speak on behalf of at least half of the community.
thanks TT.. you are a God-send!

These have been very hard times for us, especially in the past few months. You come very highly reccomended from a few people on SR, 2 of which i know personally. I just sent you a PM and i hope you are open for a new steady customer.
Thank you TT, you are a lifesaver.

after reading this post is pretty clear that none of you have a clue how commerce works .

and if you think that a free market works in this fashion then you are truly uneducated in commerce.

Do you think it would be fair if Walmart was to start selling weed on silk Road at prices no other vendor could possibly match this would not bother you it would bother me and like many other people in these United states who own mom-and-pop type convenience stores hardware stores supply stores from who Walmart has completely wiped off the face of most small town's.

So yes if you are selling your product at a completely unreasonably low price than no you are not part of a free market you are what is called a conglomerate corporation that has no soul and cares only about themselves. you know just like the evil Empire Walmart.

all major suppliers of any product set products cost( you ever hear of Wall Street)for said products even major cocaine methamphetamines and marijuana dealers throughout the states do have a price setting scheme if you were to come into any major city with 500 pounds of cocaine and undercuts the local cocaine dealers with unreasonably low prices you would be dead within a week.

All this talk about free market... let's not forget this is also the black market.

Anyways, obviously you don't know this, but I've been a customer of yours for quite some time. Your quality to price ratio is better than any vendor I have seen this past year and I tried all of them in and around your price range. You sell $200/oz which is equal to most of the $300/oz I've bought off here.

Is this going to piss off other vendors? Obviously. If you sell a higher quality OZ for $100 cheaper than someone, I could see how they wouldn't like it, but FUCK them. If we all go to you then that makes you the man, that puts you in control... what the fuck is the guy with the lesser quality $300 OZ going to do about it? He doesn't even have a customer base anymore.

Just my 2 cents, fun thread!

You act like people who provide inferior services (lower or equal quality product at a higher price) deserve to get paid. The market creates efficiency.  People who provide shitty services SHOULD go out of business and find something else that they are good at.

Your comparing apples with oranges champ. A SR vendor selling their product at "unreasonably low prices" is hardly, as you put it, a "conglomerate corporation", not by a long shot. To make a comparison between the two is just ridiculous. This is an anonymous market place, a website on the hidden web, selling mostly illegal items. Vendors will lower prices across the board to attract customers if required or if they have sensational, quality gear, even set a price a little higher than usual. Products sold in real life are given a Recommended Retail Price by the manufacturer to sell to the general public, however, if you can buy in bulk for example, you'll be able to buy the product at a cheaper wholesale price and either increase your profit margin or offer it at a lower price than your competitors. Competition is what will regulate prices on SR, along with the ability of vendor's to procure quality product at a reasonable price to then sell to us. I'm not sure what business you've been advising for the past 22 years, but judging by your post, they probably haven't done too well, hence the rant. You sound like you have a communist view to life. If a vendor is able to do things other vendors can't do, then for me he did his homework, worked hard and made the right decisions at key times. You get out of life what you put into it.

Post by: Gridlokk on December 19, 2012, 05:16 am
Let me put it this way,

Many bulk weed vendors here are from California. They are selling pounds of their product for 3000, most of the time 3k+. Now i know that even if you do not grow the product yourself, i could get a high quality pound in Calif easily for around 1000. The fact that they are selling them for over 3k is the fucked up situation, especially since many are willing to buy it. Vendor like TT here are truely the ones providing a service... the other vendors with sky high prices are servicing themselves.

HA, you must be a pot vendor who doesn't like this guy, because you completely overlooked all of my praise for the quality of his product and customer service. You just decided that I would purchase something simply because it was cheaper even if it wasn't of quality.

You say this is one of those "too good to be true" deals? Have you purchased this vendor's products to be qualified to make such a claim? I have done multiple orders with him from an anonymous account I use when buying.

If two vendors offer completely equal products in terms of quality, but one is less expensive... Do you think any American would pay for the more expensive version with no reason to at all? And I'm uneducated and stupid? I've been called a lot of things in the past year on Silk Road, but "stupid", well, that's never been one of them.

The only thing uneducated here is that opinion of yours. Were you not on here trying to promote yourself? Or some other vendor who supposedly is 'better than silk road' ... ? I don't quite know what you're trying to say, other than you wish people would stop selling better product for cheaper than you can afford to? If it's a matter of not being able to afford the prices another vendor is listing at... then you need to find a better/cheaper supplier. If it's a matter of not wanting to take lower profits for the sake of better business... you need to rethink your strategy...

As I stated, lbs on the east coast used to go for 4600 all the way up to 6000, or more. Now, locally, it's about 3400-3800. If you're a vendor charging 3600 for a lb... you're at our coasts market average, and nearly 2,000 above yours. How is that 'fair' ?

I hate hearing people bitch because their 'piece of the pie' was less than 50% of the total value. Greed, that is all.

greed where they come from and know my guy sells it for  225 an ox of the dank ass weed and they have over 13 strain to choose from all I was stating was that your idea of a free market is not what the definition of free market it's free market is not one conglomerate creating a monopoly in the market that is not a free market economy that is a conglomerate corporation monopoly that any government in the world would not permit.

Example:
US steel early 19th century was disbanded and broken up by the Canadian government United States government and the British government for having a monopoly on the steel business.

Microsoft Corporation mid 1990s again disassembled and readjusted by US government for having a monopoly on the software industry.

this was the point I was trying to make if a Walmart style vendor comes into silk road and undercuts everybody's prices this would eventually be the end of silk road could you imagine silk road with only one vendor.

All this talk about free market... let's not forget this is also the black market.

Anyways, obviously you don't know this, but I've been a customer of yours for quite some time. Your quality to price ratio is better than any vendor I have seen this past year and I tried all of them in and around your price range. You sell $200/oz which is equal to most of the $300/oz I've bought off here.

Is this going to piss off other vendors? Obviously. If you sell a higher quality OZ for $100 cheaper than someone, I could see how they wouldn't like it, but FUCK them. If we all go to you then that makes you the man, that puts you in control... what the fuck is the guy with the lesser quality $300 OZ going to do about it? He doesn't even have a customer base anymore.

Just my 2 cents, fun thread!

our country is fucked up because of  uneducated stupid thinking like this yet it's all fine and dandy to get a good deal but you ever hear the saying that seems too good to be true it usually is that  is the case with this stupid uneducated free-market idea of y'all's what happens to Mr. $200 an ounce decides he's made enough money and quits. Now of course this is after he is done bankrupt all the other hard-working vendors who gave you their time and their hard work to supply you with the best product that they can supply you with if they could get better product do you not think that they would this whole idea of taking the lowest bidder is what is killing America today.

The only thing uneducated here is that opinion of yours. Were you not on here trying to promote yourself? Or some other vendor who supposedly is 'better than silk road' ... ? I don't quite know what you're trying to say, other than you wish people would stop selling better product for cheaper than you can afford to? If it's a matter of not being able to afford the prices another vendor is listing at... then you need to find a better/cheaper supplier. If it's a matter of not wanting to take lower profits for the sake of better business... you need to rethink your strategy...

As I stated, lbs on the east coast used to go for 4600 all the way up to 6000, or more. Now, locally, it's about 3400-3800. If you're a vendor charging 3600 for a lb... you're at our coasts market average, and nearly 2,000 above yours. How is that 'fair' ?

I hate hearing people bitch because their 'piece of the pie' was less than 50% of the total value. Greed, that is all.

greed where they come from and know my guy sells it for  225 an ox of the dank ass weed and they have over 13 strain to choose from all I was stating was that your idea of a free market is not what the definition of free market it's free market is not one conglomerate creating a monopoly in the market that is not a free market economy that is a conglomerate corporation monopoly that any government in the world would not permit.

Example:
US steel early 19th century was disbanded and broken up by the Canadian government United States government and the British government for having a monopoly on the steel business.

Microsoft Corporation mid 1990s again disassembled and readjusted by US government for having a monopoly on the software industry.

Your hypotheticals have absolutely NO RELEVANCE to SR. Take a break from what ever your on as you seem to be the only person able to  comprehend your own posts.  ???

You act like people who provide inferior services (lower or equal quality product at a higher price) deserve to get paid. The market creates efficiency.  People who provide shitty services SHOULD go out of business and find something else that they are good at.

yourself fucking stupid has nothing to do about inferior product or services DIPSHIT and your way to uneducated that I don't even think you would understand it and explain to you by a financial advice.

Another vendor wrote me saying I was pretty much fucking the pot market up with my low prices and to do my self a favor and others a favor and raise my prices. I don't think he is threatening me at least I hope not cause I'm a low key vendor I feel. I haven't been putting normal listings up just custom listings for my current clients and told them I was looking to get new clients. I don't want to fuck it up for other pot vendors but I also want to bring affordable products to SR. So I'm thinking about just not accepting new people at all. WHat are others thoughts about what I should do?

The other vendor sounds like a dick. Your low prices dont fuck up the market for all the other vendors, your low prices fuck it up for him. If he was on his game he would be doing it right but hes not. You are offering a product people want for less and making money, this is great for everyone except this 1 vendor. So since it benefits both you and your customer fuck him.

~Despite your low prices I already got my pot connection on SR. I dont even search for weed because there is only 1 vendor I want to buy from. :)
