BOG Bogglegum - BCBD/Seedbay

[CaptJamesTKirk]

Do ya wana be Fiat or Ferrarri?

The both make money.


Enzo hangs with a better breed of customer -

quality ain't cheap either.
As I see it, part of why somebody may choose a breeder is they identify with the breeders choices in - taste, aroma, stone and size. You may like a breeder that tends to select for size, I may like a breeder that selects for conisure grade bud, Neither of us would be impressed with the others choices - and the choices are not wrong - well mine at least.

Shine on!

ya-all come on back later, ya-hear

10% profit rate per sale and you would be out of business before ya got off the ground. You have to have margins alot greater than that to sustain a real business. You do realize that the seed auction sites take 40%-60% of the final sale price right off the top don't you? Who's the profiteer? the breeder that did all the work and took all the risk or the auction site that pockets half or more of the procedes just to provide a venue to buy and stuffin an envelope? Keep in mind also that when seeds are bought in bulk for retail sale, it is usually at $2-$2.50 a seed at most or even better, by weight, unless the breeder is in a position to demand more he just has to take it or leave it.

Real businesses tell customers to shop somewhere else everyday, there are definately bad customers that command more of your time and resources than they are worth. I have been at a few REAL very successful companies that "fire" customers for a number of reasons all the time and they are as successfull today if not more so than they ever where. I was at one company that declined a half million dollar order because the customer was to demanding and unreasonable with their request. They are still in business and actually have more market share now than they ever did.

Thank god for the capitalist world we live in and you do have choices as a consumers and as a businessman.

The seed biz is no different than any other except that the finished product is illegal in most of it's markets. It's all basic business economics, no need to do alot of market research for years to find the answers, it's all pretty much in print in tons textbooks far and wide for the reading.

Computer chips are a good example, in the volume that some of these guys produce chips, the cost is only a few cents, once the initial tooling cost is paid for, yet that still sell for $100's of dollars in some cases. That's like a 1000 to 10000% margins not to mention profit rate. The economy of scale can be incredible at full tilt. Gasoline is an even better biz to be in, people bitch about the prices constantly and whether they are up or down the oil companies make record profits.

What about the guy that buys the $800 dollar seeds, grows them out, finds a few keepers, takes 100's upon 100's of clones and sells the finish product for $500/oz and makes seeds for resale? is $800 to much now?

It's always interesting when there is a feeling that the seed business is so unique that basic business practices and methods don't apply. Seeds are "widgets" nothing more or less, a consumer product that has cost of goods, supply and demand, margins and profits just like everything else that is produced in this world.

All good stuff though, great discussion.

if u want it you want it...especially if you got the loot to throw around....$1000 to some people is like $10 to others....if you have mad cash a G isn't nothing.

i wouldn't pay more then $15 for a pack of bogs seeds.

Have any of you guessed that these seeds didn't get paid for once at an Outrageous Price and that they won't get paid for again and again and again? I'm betting the re re relist will be happening Forever and those embryos will shrivel and go to waste.

"Get ya some White Label Bubblegum and a NL#5, both for $25 bucks or so and make ya some Bogglegum of your own or buy ya some from BCBD"


That's smart's people, not voodoo.

 

[Guest]

im not here to talk any shit. i just want to say thats a lot of cash for some bog seeds. i mean, his strains are definately nice but wow! you can get a good bubblegum strain for $30, just goes to show what good reviews and a little bit of "hype" can do for a strain. good thing there isnt a site to auction of clones! that would just get rediculous!

i hope the high bidder finds a good keeper!

If I just had the money I would outbid everyone and just smash those seeds just for the giggles. J/k, I only bought Bogglegum, the rest the man gave me free, and I gave them away for newbgrowers over here...I should have saved them...or even make f2's or whaddayacallemf13's or what ever. So that I'd be rich now.

Geez 755 for bogglegums...I would rather go to bcbuddepot to a least gamble my 100 bucks....I dont give a fuck if I was a millionarie I still woud not pay 755 for bog gear

 

[Guest]

just a note to tex, the 10% profit was hypethetical... I thought I was clear on that, but just in case I wasn't that whole post was hypethetically... it would be a shameful business if someone tried to take that and create a corporation lmao.

Also I agreed some customers aren't worth it.

But do your own testing.... go into a well known customer service place.... like Home depot, or a resturaunt....(find your own examples) and bitch the hell out of them... see how long and how much trouble you'll have to go through for them to tell you to go shop somewhere else. (without doing or saying anything pychotic). I garantee you'll be there for at least an hour before they tell you to go shop at Target or K-mart or what have you... not to mention you'll have to turn down their countless offers to make you happy in the first place...

Eventually they will offer you more than what you lost to begin with.... my point?

The customers your talking about, the ones that refuse getting more and want EVEN more are very rare. If you loose 20$ at walmart and they offer a replacement plus your money back.... there are few poeple who will bring it to the next level.

These people however, are the ones I am talking about going too far that aren't worth dealing with.

I'm making lsd f2 as we speak wonder why those seed whores arent doing the same I'll never be able to grow out all the strains I got and its really no cause for mofos to pay that much

 

[Guest]

My Father always told me "A Fool and His Money, Soon Part"

Guess that saying holds very true.

No way in Hell, NO WAY I would pay that kind of cash for a strain... and yes I have grown Bogbubble, Bogglegum, BMR and a few other BOG strains, and Bogglegum just didnt do it for me. It is no longer in my rotation.

The buyer has a better chance of seeing Jesus alive than find a spectacular keeper in that 10 pack.
