EDIT: since apparently a bunch of people woke up with the wrong foot this morning or forgot to check the group they’re in:

This is a joke. Do not steal or vandalize speed enforcement cameras (or anything else for that matter). That’s against the law and you will likely get arrested.

If you’re addicted to crack or any other drugs, please seek professional help.

What's the copper to crack exchange rate currently?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (4 children)

5.5lbs of copper is apparently about 20$ worth

I should make a website that shows crack prices across the usa on a map. I could open it up to submissions and build a dataset of what people charge for crack. Then get a perfect business plan. Corner the crack market. Oh wow I know what im gonna do with the rest of my life!

Crack is cheap unless you are in the nice suburbs. Not much variation in price otherwise.

Your competition would not take kindly to your business. See inner city violence.

then I won't sell in the neighborhood. I'll start a website, getgoodcrack4me.biz

Even ignoring the likelihood of being murdered, illegal drug arbitrage is going to be low margin for the amount of risk involved. Most of the profit is with the manufacturers and distributors.

You can only get cocaine from the South American cartels. No local production with vertical integration is impossible. You can only cut into street level as a producer and direct customer interface is the only viable business model. That competition would be a direct with likewise retailers. Yes, buying from the producers of raw material and locally producing the finished good has a considerable profit margin, but your direct competition is established brands that have no problem capping a fool stepping on their block. Distancing yourself from the customer-facing business only decreases profit margin and risk, but unavoidable turnover would mandate a more direct customer interface in order to maximize profit margins by absorbing considerable risk.

this guy supply chains

"1 crack please, Mr. Dealer, sir."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

But that doesn't mean that you'd get the full $20 if you take it to a scrapyard. Still pretty good though. A relative of mine searches dumpsters for metal stuff and gets good money selling it to scrapyards. They have a job and good money. I think they just do it as a sidehustle and for fun

Wait I can buy 5 lbs of copper for 20 dollars? Making ingots sounds like a blast. Or coinage!

Edit: this is high quality copper, right?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

No, it's a melted down speed camera.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Dude is about to write a complaint letter to crackhead-nasir

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

That can't be true, that seems incredibly cheap.
