5 things people/dealers will do to try to rip you off

    Just thought of 5 things that people/dealers do to try to short your shit/make more money off you. It's good for new people to the 'game'. If any of this ever happens to you always bring it up to your dealer as soon as it happens. 99.99% of the time it's not a mistake on their part and they are trying to rip you off. Never buy from them again after they ripped you off unless they made it right by hooking you up for free (like if they shorted you 2g and added 2g to the next bag you buy) 
     
     
     
     
    1) "Go get it for you" Some people will take your money and go get it for you. This can go 1 of three ways: Either they are going to actually take your money and buy the weed and bring it back to you, or they are going to go buy it, pinch the bag and then give it to you, or they are going to somehow 'lose' the money because they got 'robbed'.NEVER FRONT MONEY UNLESS YOU KNOW THEY CAN PAY YOU BACK
     
    2) "Forgot their scale" If you asked a dealer to scale it for you before the deal and he 'forgot it' when you get there prepare to walk away or be able to eyeball it. I can 99% assure you they did not forget their scale, and are probably trying to short you, also see the 3rd point.
     
    3) "Hand you the wrong bag" Some dealers will try to short you by 'handing you the wrong bag'(if you call them out on it), and if you don't notice they will continue to short your bags because they know they can get away with it. Or they will give you mid when you wanted dank. Be prepared to call him back telling him he shorted you. If he cares about your business he will make it right next time, if not just take the loss and go home.
     
    4) "That will be 5 more dollars" If your guy is a real douche sometimes they will call you as you are heading to them and say something like 'by the way that will be 5 more dollars'. Yep, it has happened to me, on the way to pick up a oz and get a call 'yo that's gonna be 5 more dollars'. Stand your ground or else he is going to keep bullshitting you like that.
     
    5) "7.4 that looks about right" If you see your dealer put the weed & bag on the scale, always take into account how much the bag weighs. non-ziplock sand which bags weigh .80 grams and zip lock bags way 2.6 grams. Just because the scale is over the correct weight does not mean the bag isn't short, this is a common way for them to try to appear honest but really short you. 

     
  2. Keep a nickle handy...
     
    Old US nickles weigh 5 grams exactly.

    Yea, if they have the scale on ct then a nickel will weigh '24.85' instead of 5. Never happened to me though because it would be too obvious trying to disguise like 5 grams for an ounce
     
     
    Oh yea and it's worth noting that sometimes dealers keep their mid bags beside their loud bags in a jar like my guy. This makes the mid absolutely STANK like dank, don't let them pass of mid as dank just because it smells (my guy didn't try to do that but.. I'm sure somebody has) 
     
  4. That's when u don't buy off street dealers that do that u buy off of a professional wih a job and he scales it out in front of u lol

    Not all dealers weigh it in front of you every time. Doesn't mean their dishonest. 
     
  6. I'm so lucky my dude weights it out in front of me, bags some fire ass weed every time, and hands it over for 15 bucks cheaper than most people here.  And best of all he doesn't expect to be smoked out on MY SACK like some dealers do and get all asshurt that I didn't smoke with them.
     
  7. yea they just trying to rip you off, my guy always delivers, i think that's how it sells to everybody lol its so convenient.

  10. My old guy used to DEMAND to drive, would NOT let me meet them, and then demand gas money (like 10$ extra) so after 2 deals I left them. Now twice a week theyll text me begging to buy from them
     
  11. Doesnt have change 
     
    Lies about the strain
     
    Gotta drive to there house far away
     
    Doesnt have a scale
     
    These are the people I try and avoid the most.
    You have to find a reliable person that uses a scale and have one your self. I found a couple digi scales for $5 a piece at a yard sale.
    If you suspect they are ripping you off find another dealer don't stand for it.
     
  12. this. my current guy tried to short me; i called him out on it and it hooked me up with the rest of the bag and doesn't short me anymore. See hes honest, but also dishonest. He will rip people off if they won't notice 
     
  13. That's cool you just have to call him on it. Well Make sure the next time it's the right weight. Sounds like he can be shifty you might have to call him out again
     
  14. yea I won't be surprised if he tries to short me again
