I live in Cali... and there is no way ANYONE from cali would pay 65+ for 3.5 grams for weed!! i am a prop 215 patients and when i got to the Medical marijuana clubs there BEST OF THE BEST doesnt cost that much!! and its not like im on here looking for weed anyways!!! (just using the weed for example) It just seems like EVERYTHING i want to order is WAY TOO HIGH!! Does anyone else feel this way????
Thanks superhippie

depends on where you live, people in alaska pay like $500 an ounce for average weed so for them its a deal.
-
I guess your right!! but like i said im not really on here to find weed!!! but yea same concept for any drug
-
Why would you come on here to buy weed if you live in cali...lol the prices are so much better there.
Anyway, it's because of the time, effort, and difficulty put in to shipping your product of choice. The ones that go through customs must be packaged PERFECTLY or it will most likely get seized, putting both the buyer and seller at risk. Even domestic ones have to make it through the mail centers without being found out.
Safety is a very expensive commodity ::)

if u READ IN MY 2 POST im not on HERE to find weed!!!! i just used that for a EXAMPLE!!!!!!!

and if YOU read MY post you'd have seen this:

Also, most drugs have different prices in every country/city/state. What you think is high some may think is low and the opposite is true as well.

It costs $150 to be allowed to list on SR
Silkroad takes 6% commision on every single listing
Ecrow system and resolution centre being scammed is another reason for high prices
International shipping often gets seized and sellers are forced to refund or re-ship to keep good ratings
People with brand new accounts claiming they didnt recieve orders and claiming up to 50% back
People asking for unregistered shipping and then claiming the postman stole it
Customs need to be bribed to turn a blind eye in some countries to let outgoing parcels through security checks
Buying packaging materials and paying someone to drive around posting stuff at various locations to avoid recognition
Paying extra to have BTC laundered and exchanged for spendable cash anonymously (without using conventional exchanges or banks where money laundering charges or frozen accounts may occur )
there are many reasons why its more expensive than buying some drugs from your neighbourhood dealer ,these are just the ones i could think of off the top of my head

1. This isn't your local market in Cali. It's global.
2. If people are paying the very prices you consider "over priced", then apparently everyone doesn't share your sentiment on the issue.
3. This isn't your d-boy on the corner gig where a few sandwich bags from the store and a good pusher is all you need to work. People have to pay for shipping supplies, and cover a multitude of other costs (to include one's own time).
If the prices here are so high, then go to that other site with the good reputation that you can buy illegal drugs from.... Oh wait, one doesn't exist.
Silk Road is a monopoly when you think about it. But a much needed one. At least people are growing the balls to defy what society tries to brainwash us with.

You say you are using weed as an example when you say EVERYTHING is overpriced. Using a product that can be acquired legally and locally in your area as an example is a terrible comparison. It's like comparing the price of an imported Durian compared to an apple you can get in your backyard.
Internationally, the prices on SR are very decent, except for LSD (which loses additional value due to shipping overseas). I would buy weed on SR if it weren't for the inherent dangers of shipping something smelly. If all the prices on SR are 'way too high' for you, then please stick with your locally procured ganja. You'll be supporting local businesses as well as the American economy.

Quit being a whiney little bitch - oops did i say that?
if u want weed - as an example - go to the club!!!

Okay sure you can get quality weed because you live in Cali but does everyone live in Cali?
I bet you can't find quality coke, DMT, 2c, LSD, MDMA, ketamine, etc. On top of that you don't have to drive to some shady place, talk to shady people, and most importantly risk getting caught by LE.

No actually I make them come to me. ;D
But seriously it's all about quality vs price and quantity. Although where I live you won't find any LSD really. and I guarantee you it wont be as good as it is from the Netherlands. But in my opinion the prices should be lowered allot. Especially cause it's the easiest fuckin drug to smuggle! ;D
-
What do you mean" smelly" !?
All weed products are vacuum sealed and don't smell at all.
I have received weed and hash from Netherlands, Canada, Poland and Australia.
No problem

Easiest to smuggle, but hardest to produce which is why we're going through a dry spell right now. Luckily I have a legit LSD connect (I wish I could buy bulk to share with SR but they won't let me :'( ) but I can never find quality MDMA like I get from the Netherlands. MDMA out here in the states is a joke and the pressed pills are an insult to humanity itself.
You guys have to remember that the prices are higher than usual because
A) We risk our necks every time we slap a stamp on your package
B) We have to buy shipping supplies and put extra effort to make it stealthy
C) It's most likely quality, at least better than what you can get off the streets
D) It's getting delivered to your door!

I do agree to a point. Like I had talked about before with cannabis. If I'm selling mids in my country where some places weed is hard to get, I wouldn't have a problem selling 8 gram sacks for $20 just like on the streets. I believe the possibility of the clientele i could have would potentially even out the cons that come along with shipping. I mean how many people in the Eastern US can pay 120 for a quarter pound? From what I hear not allot.
But yeah MDMA and LSD are the shit in the NLD! You guy's don't fuck around. A buddy of mine took a quarter of one of the pink stars I bought and said he was rollin for a few hours. ;D

No we don't. I live in Fairbanks Alaska, I've seen 200$ ounces of not the best quality, but decent. The going rate for an ounce of bomb ass fire here is 320$-350$
Only natives in the villages pay the prices you speak of

Your mom's overpriced :P

I think that as Silk Road becomes more and more well known, more vendors will see fit to list product.
When more vendors list product competition is going to drive prices down, and everything will even out (I hope).

I think so too, that's how the free market works, the invisible hand regulates the price ;)

About the LSD dry spell though, there defiantly should be more lad production in the US. And I lack the chemistry degrees to back my knowledge up but if I had the funds or could find my way in as an assistant in a lab I would utilize all my time and knowledge to producing a legit product. I love organic and bio chem even though I've been studying didactically. I'm probably the only one who has no science career (yet), but still keeps up a lab notebook . ;D

^ Right here. ^
In my neck of the woods the prices are pretty much spot on with the exception of pills (especially Adderall. HOLY SHIT). If you look around enough and watch the listings then you'll almost always get your moneys worth. I'd rather pay a little more for some good molly or h than waste money on shit that's been cut with Lord knows what.
-
If you can't afford it, don't buy it. I think prices here are reasonable & in my case, where the hell else would I find dmt?
-
i personally think that the option of having drugs delivered to your doorstep is priceless. So name your price, if it seems feasible to me, i will buy....if not, ill go elsewhere. But i cant even get drug dealers in my own town to deliver to me so i think its a great commodity and is worth the extra cash.

Okay sure you can get quality weed because you live in Cali but does everyone live in Cali?
Does that mean that not everybody lives in California?
Or that nobody lives in California?
I'm lost...

Not yet, but in the year 2033 when the rest of the United States goes in chaos they'll come for us Californians. For our fresh fruit, weed, women, etc. Stay strong my friend, stay strong.
-
I have a friend in the UK, and she buys weed at 20£ (yep, that's sterling) per gram. Different areas have different prices, For me the prices here are great
-
You also have to remember that you're paying for convenience. No meeting a dealer you don't know to get a product that's new to you. No back alley deals. No strangers seeing who you are. With SR you just set up your account, and if you wanted you could try a new drug every week (not recommended... just saying) all without having to meet anyone or put yourself in any precarious positions.
-
We have two scenarios:
1) Everything is overpriced and all the vendors are acting in cohorts in a cartel to keep them high
2) Prices reflect the reality
If option 1) was the case all it would take would be one rogue vendor to not be part of the cartel and list everything 20% cheaper than everyone else. Why hasn't that happened yet?
Without getting too political SR is one of the few free markets left in the world. No government regulation of the goods, no taxes at any stage, two parties willingly entering into a contract on terms they feel are fair to each other without arbitrary minimum or maximum values set. If you really want to go the whole hog (and I occasionally do) invest in some product here then indulge yourself in another unregulated and untaxed industry (the world's oldest profession) and combine the two . Knowing you're screwing the taxman at the same time is just the icing on the cake ;D
-
prices reflect reality.
someone where it is prominent is going to have some good-decent prices.
someone where that shit is not prominent and they are likely buying and reselling.. they have to make profits as well.
-
Urgh looks like we gots another cheapskate!
Prices aren't even dear for what you are getting, in fact quite the reverse, everything is extremely cheap. I just made a buy for 30g of Blow that's above 80% FOR LESS THAN £50 A GRAM. My IRL chum sells single grams under 50% £100 a gram. Who's winning?

Simple supply and demand.
If EVERYONE felt EVERYTHING is overpriced then people would stop buying, thus lowering demand; upping supply and lowering the price.
I as a vendor sell on here for MUCH CHEAPER then I would locally.
PS - hippies smell.

"online gangsters" i mean.. isn't that what we're all aspiring to become??

Realizing I'm new to posting but lurked since April, I agree with this. Supply and demand control the entire market. If someone is overpriced, I just ignore them. no matter how badly I want whatever it is, I will not go for the ripoff. I'll wait. Even if waiting sucks.
Also, SR strikes me as a privilege. When people complain about pricing and say "it's cheaper on the street", I'm confused because that means you have the prime opportunity to make bank. Why complain? Get on here and take advantage of the privilege. Seems the logical thing to do. I live in an area that is one of the top twenty suppliers in my personal favorite entertainment method, but I like the security SR affords me much better than running around the streets begging to get jacked. That security may come with a price, but I accept that.
Just my opinion and meaning absolutely no offense, but if you know of a cheaper place to obtain the entertainment, please share your bounty in the market and I'd imagine you could be rewarded well for your efforts.

So you're saying buy drugs off SR and hen indulge yourself in prostitution? wtf? lol
What I'm saying is I'm in my 30'a now and with one divorce under my belt I've no desire to go down that road anymore and no real desire to go out trying to pull so if I feel horny then I can think of worse ways of spending a night than buying a few g's of coke, getting a quality escort (not needle track riddled street trash) and spending a few hours indulging myself.
Don't do this often, once every few months, but I ain't ashamed of the fact that I do do it from time to time. How else am I going to pull 25 year old model material girls and get then getting up to all sorts of mischief. Tend to find all are willing to indulge in a few lines as well.
Don't get up to anything nasty or weird, I'm pretty much libertarian and believe consentin adults should be able to get up to whatever they want. Judge me if you want but I'm perfectly happy with my life and do nothing I'm ashamed of.

As of right now I won't let myself buy prostitutes, but if I'm in my late 30s and still as lonely as I am now I may end up having to go this route. I'm glad to learn there's someone out there in that position who is enjoying it. I would be sorely disappointed if I never got to have sex with a beautiful woman again.

whoever says the MDMA is overpriced has blatantly never been pissed out of their face trying to buy a gram in the uk, shits like 40£ a gram, on here its like what? 300£ for 25g?
-
Not everything is that over priced.The only thing that I can get cheaper on the streets is weed (but they DO have cheap mids and schwag on SR) and heroin and crack that I'm not really that interested in anyway and the quality isn't the quality of the SR products and I cant get DMT local.Not to mention the fact that half the pills I can get locally are just some bullshit pipes or amphetamines with the occasional legit MDMA tab but on SR you can find vendors who have there shit tested and everything.The weed is crazy over priced but I'm not complaining haha all you have to do is pay securely and the product of your choice is delivered straight to your door.The convenience and large selection are worth the price on some things.And I think that the pharms are so expensive like adderall and shit because most people only have a limited supply unless they can write there own prescriptions which I sincerely doubt more than like 1 or 2 on SR do.The LSD is expensive because they have to buy all the equipment all the chemicals,they have to make it,they have to deliver it to the vendor,the vendor has to buy all the shipping things,and then spend there time to check your messages and rages about how slow he is,then he has to ship it out and wait for the money to get out of escrow.So $10-20 for a hit isn't that ridiculous considering all the shit that had to happen while you're sitting on your ass just waiting for it to come.And one more reason I wouldn't complain about paying a little higher price is the anonymity and security as opposed to buying from the streets where there pigs around every corner just waiting to bust your ass and then there's the tweaking crack heads that are sometimes so strung out that they cant form sentences and get random crazy ass mood swings and there's the disgusting lowlife snitches and the psychopaths that shoot up random people and the muggers and hookers and you aren't always sure whats in your H you don't know what your blow is cut with your X is probably piperazines or amphetamines or bk-mdma which I'm not saying aren't good/decent/ok drugs for some people it just makes me want to bust peoples skulls open when I pay for MDMA and get bullshit pills without them warning me first that they're adulterated.I'm thankful that I found SR and I'm not worried about the prices at all.

People who are mad about SR prices should realize two important deductions from their madness:
A: Drug X is more expensive on SR than in their country Y.
B: That people are visibly paying Z for drug X because they have to.
implies
C: You should become an international drug smuggler.

I cannot understand then, why you are mad. You should be pleased to find a lucrative opportunity in an economic down cycle.
Yeah, thank me later or whatever.

I'm not mad at all... was just wondering why everything was overpriced! like u said with #A it really depends where your located and what your looking for!! i was new to SR when this post made, so i didnt quite understand..BUT now that i've been here almost a month there are some things overpriced NOT EVERYTHING!!
