dealers, how do they make money

I have never understood the math of making money dealing cannabis unless you grow and sell your home grown, how do they do it?

an ounce (28g) average price here is £180
an 1/8th cost £20, thats 3.5g of MJ,

so that is 8 1/8th's, meaning it's only £20 profit per ounce they flog.

This does not seem a very big money maker to me unless you grow your own, then it's like £150 if not more profit.

can anyone help me to understand?

cheers.

Buy in bulk, sell in smaller quanties.

For example here are average prices here: 2000 a Lb, 200 a OZ, 10 a g
So you buy yourself a pound for 2000 if you sell them in ounces at 200 an oz and sell all 16 oz you make 1600$.

If you buy in OZ and sell in g you make 85$ an oz.

Make sense? Growers make the most money, then growers sell to the middlemen, and middlemen sell to the dealers.

buy low and sell high is the name of the game. dealers have a connect where they can get "wholesale" prices on weed. they buy larger amounts and get a price break. usually they will buy a quarter pound or more and divide it up into smaller sacks for sale. if they dont get high on their own supply, they can turn a profit selling small sacks.

The lucky ones are the ones that can grow and deal.... It is not recommended as you meet too many new people, but that is where the money is.

Buying in bulk IS the answer !
The more you buy the bigger the bulk discount !

But Shavden, you could never have worked for me 20yrs ago with THAT math ! lmao
$200/ounce x 16 ounces = $3200 for a $1200 profit, not $1600 !
At $10/gram that's $280 for a $80 profit, not $85 !
You would have come up missing here in Los Angeles, Ca. with that.
And it's been $20/gram since 1987 AT LEAST, that's as far back that I can remember them going for at that price.

The main trick is to get it right from the source, thus cutting out the middleman and having at least one LESS pair of loose lips to sink your shit (ship) !!
Case in point, I bought pounds of hydro for $900 and sold it for $1500/QP or $3500 whole.
Ounces were still $400 - $500 then, like now.

hugh thanks, understand it more now, as serapis said: The lucky ones are the ones that can grow and deal.... It is not recommended as you meet too many new people.
The smell of growing and the amount of customers would make it too obvious.

cheers for all the help!

Grow your own. When harvest time comes, my cell phone usually blows up with orders.. Am not a dealer but people close to me know I grow some bomb organic shit, and they also perfer fresh buds... so they try to get there orders in before anyone else. but just to clarify things... I don't sell my weed... I take Donations :) But yeah I ussually rank about 2000 dollars in harvest every 2 months but with expensives and utilities bills am left with about 1700.. so it ain't much, but it pays for my school books and classes.

Wow, here in Australia, it aint cheap, $3200.00 a single pound, if you buy more than one than price drops to $2900.00 per pound, if you buy a pound for $3200.00 and sell each oz for $250.00 ( which is fairly standard ) $250 x 16 = $4000.00 - Profit of $800.00. the grower is the profiteer from it, once he has accounted for electricity & nutes, he takes his profit, past operations have seen a untaxed income of $40,000.00 PA, basically moving 2.5 - 3 pounds every 3 months.

Damn, round here its $300-$400 an oz. I used to pick up an oz for $340 and then sell grams for $20 usually profited around $160-$190 an oz. Once I started picking up qp's for $1100 I was makin about $200 an oz/$500-$650 for the qp. It's pretty profitable, but not nearly as profitable as growing your own and slangin that ;D I'm not doin that though, only growing for me :D

its all about supply and demand buying for the lowest and selling for the lowest but enough to make a good profit and still re-uping once its all gone for some "people" they can get say a pound for 500 to 800 and flip it and make 1600 straight its easy money and if you get the HARDER shit you wont know where to put all the money shit youll have to bury it or even burn da shit lol jk id never burn money but its not worth it in the end unless you can find a way to launder it into a bussisness get your clean money put into a bank account under a fake name get it wired to a sepert account out of the counrty and move to a non experditing country so the fbi cant come arrest you lol
