At some point or another in everyones "drug career" they usually find themselves having to go through a middleman, particularly if they aren't in a location that has open air drug markets. The point of this thread is to help with ways to make this process a short as possible (meaning getting directly to the connect) or making it easier on the wallet if you are truly in a position (like not having a car to get to the dealer on your own) where there is no way around using a middleman.
If you have your own ride and can get to the dealer, the general idea is to make it not worth the middleman's time to deal with you, which will hopefully lead them to introducing you to their dealer. For this to work out you first have to earn the middlemans trust so that when the time comes, they will be willing to vouch for you to the dealer. This means always being straight with the money, being on time, and showing that you will be a good customer should they decide to introduce you to their dealer.
The next step is to lower the amount that you are buying from them. This will make your worth to them a little less, and make it more of a hassle for them to deal with you. The next part is crucial. They will likely begin to complain about your small orders, to which you should reply that you are only making smaller orders since you have another source that charges less, and you are only going through them [the middleman] when your other dealer is not around. This should make them understand that you still have more money to spend on the drugs, but just aren't spending it through them, and if they introduce you to their source you will increase your purchases so that the dealer doesn't mind dealing with you.
Ideally you really will have another source that you use, and even if this other source is just another middleman it will still work, and you can be playing the other middleman the same way you are playing this one. A lot of dealers will give kick-backs to any customer that brings them more business, so it truly is worth it for some middlemen to introduce you to their dealers and get some kick-backs which could amount to more than the amount they are getting by taxing you on your small orders. You can bring this up to them and hope that they "see the light," and that should help speed up the process.
Now some people are in the position where they have to go through a middleman. It can be because they don't have a car to get them to the dealer who themselves don't have a car or just generally don't leave their neighborhood, or it can be because of legal reasons (on probation, parole, have 2 strikes and can't afford to get arrested again, etc,) so the main goal here is to pay as little tax as possible on each purchase. "Middleman" implies that they themselves are users, and they are going to to cop their drugs regardless of if you are throwing in that time. If your middleman is broke and truly relies on having a number of people go through them so that they can get their drugs for free this is more difficult, so it's best to avoid this type altogether. There are enough people copping that you can find a middleman with a job and who is only looking for a better deal by having you throw in with them.
Now, how to pay the least amount of tax... What I have found to be effective is to set a limit on the amount of bags that you will pay tax on, which can also be like paying a flat rate fee no matter the purchase. What I mean is I will pay tax on the first few bags, but after that the rest of them are at wholesale price. There is no reason why you should be paying tax on every single bag you are getting, especially from a true middleman that needs you to pay first before they go get it.
The way to go about paying just a flat rate like $X amount extra per bag for the first 3 bags but nothing after that, is to only buy a few bags at a time at first. They will likely ask why you are only getting a few bags, and like I mentioned with how to get directly to the connect, you just tell them that you have someone else with better deals so you only go through them when the other dealer isn't around. When this conversation happens you can bring up that you would buy more if they didn't tax you passed the 2nd or 3rd bag, and they will more than likely be willing to drop the tax on any purchases above 2-3 bags.
This is because a) they may feel bad that they are limiting your high due to them taxing you on each bag, but more than likely it's because b) the more they buy the better the deal they get, so even if they aren't charging you taxes on each bag they are still making out on the deal since bundles/jabs/grams/whatever the bulk term is are cheaper than individual bags or less weight, so they want you to buy more even if you are just paying the price of the bag once you get above a certain amount.
In practice, buying 7 bags for example would go like; price of bag + X, price of bag + X, price of bag, price of bag, price of bag, price of bag, price of bag. Now they are only 3 bags away from getting the reduced bag price in areas that sell 10 bag bundles, so they would only need to throw in a small amount of their own cash to get this deal. If you were still only buying a few bags they would be further away from getting the reduced bag price for the bulk amount, which is why it is worth it for middlemen to allow for you to only pay tax on a few bags if it means that you will be buying more bags overall. Since they are already going to be buying the drugs regardless of you throwing in or not, there is no reason why they should have you paying tax on every single bag, and if you follow my advice it should limit the amount of tax you pay. If you are always buying more than 2-3 bags then it essentially becomes a flat rate extra that you pay, which is the tax on those first few bags.
Good luck.
P.S. I know that verso loves this topic and since he drives to the hood to cop he now has a zero tolerance policy for dealing with middlemen, so I'm sure that he can contribute to how that has worked out for him. If anyone else has any suggestions on what has worked for them whether it be with cutting out the middleman or reducing the tax, please explain it here. Of course there are other ways of cutting out the middleman such as saving the dealers number if the middleman ever uses your phone to call them, or going through the middlemans phone yourself to get the dealers number, and then all that's left is manning up and calling the dealer on your own. The other option is to go to the copping spot if you have driven the middleman there, and hoping to bump into the dealer there and hoping he recognizes you so you can get to business. All of these tips are welcome in this thread.
