Calling a dealer

[quale]

So when I purchased the meth in the "open air drug market" I was told it was in a business card with a number on it (presumably for me to call to by more). The buisness card sucpiscously has no address, the buisness is listed in no phone books and is open 24 hours so I am pretty sure this is the intention.
Since I am going to be cold calling this at some point what should I expect. Should I just come right out and say what I am loooking for? Secondly what should I expect about the location buisness will be conducted...street corner house etc?
Secondly what is the usual lifetime of one of these operations? If I choose to wait a couple months are they likely to be busted (and excuse my paranoid self at the moment but the cops don't keep track of who calls the former phone numbers of bottom level dealers the bust do they?)

I dunno about your first question since i've never cold called a dealer, but as for the second, just call from a pay phone.

I thought dealers ALWAYS called you back and never picked up themselves...so they don't have to talk to ppl they don't want to.

Someone handing out business cards with numbers to call is obviously asking for trouble.
I wouldn't buy from someone willing to take risk like that with complete strangers.

Sounds like a real stupid drug dealer to me.

These services do exist. I was staying in New York City for a while in Manhattan, and was given a pager number for a weed hookup. The service delivers right to your apartment/hotel room or whatever. The prices are fairly high, but the quality of the bud was outstanding. They offer "other drugs" such as Ecstasy and Cocaine, but I couldn't afford to partake in such things at the time. Oh well. YMMV

i met a dealer through a friend giving me a card. i called him up and told him how i got his number and then told him what i needed. i mostly meet him a fast food places but i have been to his house a few time. don't out right say "i want coke, or .." use what ever slang you know then, when you meet him he'll most likly tell you what word if any to use.
as for how long this will last from what he's told me he's been set up for 10 yrs. nice person too

i do not know too much about the business card thing, i will say that i have thought, why they don't do things like that, but i would not feel it to be to safe cause you were a stranger...a few things you need to wonder yourself..
#1 if you are a frequent customer they are not gonna hand out a card cause , more then likely the customer has your number memorized.
#2 it is a weird situation between the both of you, how does he know you are not a cop, and how do youknow he is not?
as far as if you do call, as far as what to say....if it is legit, he will stop you before you say anything, and he will ask the questions cause he knows what he means....so basicly you need to listen to what he says, and catch on to what he is reffering too. more then likely if someone is conducting business this way i would think he has only one or two main things not to confuss one with the other...

in manhattan, every professionally run dealer service has a business card. Its handy because they change their numbers pretty often, so you dont have to memorize a new one every month or two. Usually you'll call up an operator, you tell them where you are and how much you want and they get someone they have in that area to meet you (you'll usually get into their car) You exchange the usual greetings, ask him what kinds of what ever he has, you pay, get out, and he drives off.
As for your situation, jst be calm, don't try to impress the dealer or act nervous. Say Hi, wats up, etc. and ask him about what you want. Thats all there is to it.

I have heard of it before.. they use cell phones and constantly change the numbers.. these are ran like any professional business.. it's a little sketchy your first time but these people are in it just to make a living.. when you call just say "yeah, I got your business card the other day when I ran into you on the street, I had a question..." they should prompt you so as was sadi, just follow their lead.. even though "code" is the most insanely stupid thing in the world ("do you have any skates? you know, ROLLer skates, I want 7 of them"), the dealer might not be cool with you straight-out asking for an illegal drug, so be subtle as to not scare him off.. and if he asks if you're a cop, say "hell no, if I was I would have to tell you or it would be entrapment, I ain't no fuckin' cop"...
