Purity (or lack of)

In my area street coke is £25 a gram ($38). Theres no better supplier, thats it. and everyone sells that product. I live in a city too not some little town so you'd think thered be more here.

I can't speak for the majority of the coke vendors, seeing as i've only bought coke from SR once. Vendor was dispater and his gram cost £70, so almost three times the street price.

I can safely say it was worth every penny. The lines where smaller but I felt it so was so much stronger, I also had a bit of euphoria which i've heard you should but never experienced it before.

After this I would never buy the street coke again, and I don't think his product has been tested for purity. Yeah there are alot of dealers selling at higher prices claiming higher purity, some have tests to back up there claims, but whos to say if you make an order you're getting that quality?

Its always risky when paying top dollar for a drug like this as the supplier could easily get a weaker batch and continuing selling it at his normal price if before he was selling 'uncut 80%+ fishscale'

it all depends on if you want to risk it or not :)

If you follow PineappleLove's thread, it seems even the best vendors are selling misrepresented product on here.

I was surprised when I got back into coke, too. The price has gone up 50-100% for gram amounts, and double or more for larger amounts like eight balls and quarter ounces. And it's the same on the street as on SR.

I don't know why it happened. Decreased supply? Collusion by major suppliers? I haven't heard a good explanation.

You used to buy coke that never gave you euphoria?
What is the point of coke that doesn't have euphoria? :-/
That's what coke is.

People want assurances of good product, and assurances of safety in purchasing, and anonimity, SR is where its at for all that, just have to deal with the right people is all.  If I just wanna spend the evening with a gal, have drinks and some lines, yeah I'm gonna pay the premium for the smaller amounts, but if I want a little bulk, then no way, I want the wholesale price.

Purity (or lack of)

If you follow PineappleLove's thread, it seems even the best vendors are selling SHIT on here.  I am still recovering from a couple lines of a top vendor's "fishscale" coke that I did on Friday.  I feel like crap.  I read Pineapple's thread after I did it and found this vendor cuts (or it has been previously cut) with 20% of Levamisole which is fucking poison.  I will not release this vendor's name as I am going to contact him and see what he says.  Good luck finding anything on here that's worth the premium price.

Squirrel, is that a piece of pizza for the head of your squirrel? WTF? LMFAO or do I need to have my eyes checked?

" Levamisole which is fucking poison"  or is it 'flesh eating bacteria'?

Coke prices on SR are definitely way over priced for 90% of the product listed.  Only a handful of them being high quality and being worth the price listed. 
High quality as in high purity and not ruined with active cuts.  You can still have pretty good coke(60%+) that's just ruined with some active cut like levamisole, caffeine, speed, ephedrine.  Feels good initially after the lines till the very long lasting side effects kick in.

Subtracting mailing/packing supplies, I would say most of these sellers are making easily 2-3x more per order what they would on the streets.   

I'm lucky to have IRL dealers who get quality shit, easily 60-70% or more and they sell by .7 for 60 bucks.  So ordering on SR for 100$ full grams kind of evens out for me.  Plus don't have to deal with sketchy situations and gut wrenching drives back and forth.  Trick is obviously finding legit sellers who sell good shit for good prices.

I've got to agree that it's overpriced. Not long ago I used to get grams of pearl for $40 and this stuff would turn to liquid if it sat more than 10 minutes. So that means that these guys are making $100+ a gram!!! That's insane. I'd be rich if I got back into the game with the shit I have had. Fuck all the "straight of the brick" junk for $200 a gram that's been cut already. I just cannot wrap my mind around this. It's not right. Just thinking of the karma I've slid to others. I'm going to have to become a vendor I guess.

Coke prices in the real world have been going up for the past 5 years, at least in the Eastern US.

A key of coke is almost worth a key of heroin.

The reason I keep hearing is that the powers to be have slowed down the supply. Is the governments efforts responsible? I doubt it.

I know that the Mexican Cartels have started to shift tactics. Instead of going through middlemen, they're trying to go to local city gangs themselves. This is done through a variety of methods, including one I'm sure of: Mexicans that've been deported that've lived in a particular city in the US. Since they know some of the players in the city already, they can easily establish that pipe line.

i've been told back in the 80's... that coke was 100$ a g. wasn't my decade, but i thought i might chime in with that.

and we all love 80's coke... :D

I know coke prices might be inflated compared to street prices, but I'd happily pay $120 / gram for 60%+ coke because the street price of 30-50% coke in Australia is $300 / gram.
Even buying ounces of coke here is about $2,500 - $3,000. I have no idea what a kilo would cost though.

I don't view the prices on SR as that high. I used to pay $100/gr and $275/ball back the '80s. Yes I was young(er) and I couldn't do it all the time, but that was the going price. This was a major US coastal city though and everything seems high there to this day. So it appears inflation hasn't increased that much in the last 30yrs regarding prices. The difference for me is that I can get better quality with relative anonymity and can definitely afford more of the stuff now.  ;)

GoogleyedXL had listings up for kilos of coke that was already in Aus, the listings for bulk have been taken down though IIRC they were around 120,000 per kilo (correct me if im wrong). They still list the offer through the $370 1G samples.

That's crazy expensive. I'd expect 1kg of cocaine of high purity to still be cheaper than that...
I bet the sample would be awesome quality too, and then when ordering 1kg, the quality would be a lot lower.

I've tried C from about 15 SR sellers (and way more IRL) and to be honest:
none was really worth the money, not in the last 10 years!

I've got a sample of a new player in the C market coming soon,
will check it and lett you know about it on the forum (maybe in PineappleLove's thread).
I do hope this 1 is the 1 (his MDMA is "to the moon"!), but can't say anything yet...

But, honestly,
since the price for C has gone up like crazy (both on SR as IRL) and hte quality has gone down like crazy,
why bother taking C anymore?
I'd rather have a great night on some good acid, or some nice MDMA and spend 1/10 of the money to really have a good time, than spend the amount on C and be mad about the g*d*a*n quality within 30 minutes...

Maybe overpriced Coke its due bitcoin crash few monts ago,vendors are trying to recovery losses.

I found this in the clearnet,a recent article about Coke prices: Once it passes through Mexico, a kilogram of cocaine is worth $16,000 in the border towns of northern Mexico, and it will fetch between $24,000 and $27,000 wholesale on the street in the United States depending on the location. The prices are even higher in Europe, where they can run from $53,000 to $55,000 per kilogram, and prices exceed $200,000 in Australia. The retail prices per gram of cocaine are also relatively high, with a gram costing approximately $100-$150 in the United States, $130-$185 in Europe and $250-$500 in Australia.

Read more: Mexico's Cartels and the Economics of Cocaine | Stratfor.

So a vendor in Europe with 1kg can easily double the earnings and if they cut it maybe they can triple it.

Whats a reasonable price for 1g of Coke with a decent quality in SR? I think 80E/100$ with shipping cost its a reasonable price.

Cheers.

I'd find it hard to believe wholesale coke would be $200,000 / kg in Australia. That just seems a bit high. Especially when I know you can buy ounces of ~50-60% coke for $3,000 / ounce.
I know the AFP & Australia customs has told people it's worth $200,000, but I think that's just them trying to make them sound like they've done such a good job of stopping drug importation that the price has reached that.

I still can't believe the worlds largest ecstasy bust was in Australia too, because of the relatively small population too. 15 million pills were found, which is nearly 1 pill per adult Australian. That's a lot of pills, especially considering that less than 10% of people use ecstasy.

It actually seems as though it has gone up again from 100(on the road) in the last few days or so...kinda discouraging for sure.

$3000 for an ounce is dirt cheap... you should be buying that and reselling it on here.

I know ounces of high quality "uncut" stuff goes at 420-450 a gram, and its at that price simply because the money is made in the cut.

I haven't talked to the guy that was selling it in 2-3 years. But I could try and get in contact again and see if he still does it, and at those prices. Coke prices seem pretty stable here, so I doubt wholesale prices would have jumped much either. If I could get an ounce for $3,000 and sell that at $300 / gm without cutting it, that is $5,000 profit / ounce :O

I'm surprised no large-scale cocaine dealers haven't set up on Silk Road yet in Australia. They'd make a fortune. Selling their 1kg bricks all in tiny quantities at street prices.
