i've brokered a deal between a breeder and a bank in the past and was privy to the details of what both of these get.. it was very well known, except to me at the time, that they split the profits 50/50...
i've even quoted these numbers in the passed and when mrs rare dankness was still around these parts, she confirmed my numbers, and said in reality, that the breeders take is actually much less than the 50% of the take after packaging costs, shipping, etc.. so yeah, i'm not pulling these numbers out of my ass, the split is 50/50. that's the way it works in the bean / bank game..
you might think 50% of the total is a shit ton, but look at the number of beans a bank is going to sell vs a small breeder who sets up their own page and peddles their own gear.. plus, having a bank selling what is still pretty much an illegal product across international borders takes a huge part of the risk out for the breeders.. now, the biggest thing breeders have to worry about is sending their gear to the bank, and hoping it makes it to them.. this is a big reason why most us banks don't carry european based breeders gear, and instead we're seeing a lof smaller, us based breeders gear in their place..
but yeah, i'm just making all of this shit up..
