^The term "fire" can't be more than 10 years old....Originally I only ever heard it in the ghetto for weed...Of course some random jerk off on the street is gonna tell you it's good!
I've noticed that there's two types of dealers...There's dealers out to make every cent they can in the short term, stepping on their shit and squeezing every dollar they can out of customers. They don't really care about repeat customers, they just serve as an easy source for whoever happens to be desperate that day...The funny thing is, those types seem to always be around, answering their phone on the first ring!
Then, you have the pros who are trying to actually build a customer base. They don't fuck with the product much and they give fair deals...Those guys make less money per bag, but in the long term end up making a lot more money because everyone keeps coming back. Also, people are less shy about buying quantity from these guys, so they move more volume...The downside with those types of dealer's is: A lot of them get greedy and take on a lot of regulars, so you end up getting docked around and having to wait...Also, if you get dependent on that one "great dealer" and his shit falls off, you might find yourself with nowhere else to go if you haven't been out there networking... In which case, you end up having to buy off the first kind of dealer again..
I got really good at always finding new sources and buying a little from all of them here and there, so I always had someone else lined up no matter what happened. That's something a lot of people fail to do, and it's a pain the ass...but that's what I made half my habit from...Someone's dealer won't answer, you could call me and I'd get it for you right away...The dealers knew I was doing this, and I had it worked out where they'd always give me extra...
