I’ve gotten the same requests too. I have some speculation that its also people that are generating proposals/decks for investors and are just probing for prices to plug into their models. If you really want to vet them, ask for whatever license they hold and set up an escrow account for them to put their money in to prove they are serious buyers. That will send most fake/non serious requests running.

I’m virtually positive its a hedge fund gauging industry capacity. I got the point of “talking to the buyer” only to find the call in a FAR TOO NICE board room. Once we started asking questions of what they were using it for, they got all wobbly and couldn’t answer basic questions.

It could also be a cover for investigation into who can produce that amount, and if its properly being tracked via local law… My requests were from a delivery service in California, I’d be interested to see where the other requests have come from. Anyone care to share?

I would be surprised if it wasnt Canopy, Meridian, Ianthus, or ArcView doing a study. Same with that 500 kilo Isolate order two months ago.

Honestly its a pretty large request if the entity requesting that amount doesn’t have an established brand/outlets. 100L a week is around 840,000+ half gram cartridges a month with 5% terps or a literal TON of edibles.
Thats around 42,000 cartridges that need to be filled a DAY in a 5 day work week. Anyone with any operations experience knows it would take a huge workforce (or advanced automation equipment with a flow wrapper or other high speed packaging device) to fill and package that many cartridges. If that person was brokering to 10 other people, thats 4,200 carts a day that would need to be produced by each outlet to go through that oil. Seems more doable with a brokering outlook but still very, very fishy.

Very fishy indeed !!
LOL clowns asking for 1000l a week are you kidding me 
I just walk away or ask politely for them to remove my contact info and refrain from reaching out in any way lol !!! Maybe in 2021 those numbers might be relevant to production capabilities for the present day lol but sorry not this week.
haha i have heard the most ridiculous requests over the last three months, comical to say the least. Although it has made it easy to weed out the money hungry dummies!!! 
To all hunting that elusive unicorn, good luck folks bahaha

Ask them to cash out a single liter and then you’ll discuss volume contracts. Most brokers couldn’t figure it out to save their mothers
And yes, they will run off with the LOI, trying to secure the deals behind your back.

The “rep” from Damian marleys company reached out six months ago or so and wanted 1200 liters a month tested, all you got do is start talking number in reverse with them like do you know how much oil it will take and then assume a7% return on your biomass and watch or better yet listen to them stumble and mumble because they’ll probably never seen a liter in real life and have no idea what it takes. The testing alone for that order would have taken months to get ahead of the curve. “Brokers” are the pussies who would have come within a 100 yards of what we do til now since they think they can’t get in trouble

I actually have a distribution company that needs cat2 clean distillate weekly. Is $8300 a liter a doable price with where the markets at?

The short answer is no.

Went to a Extraction event, after coming home and checking all my emails from networking. I get an email from the person that promoted the event, he’s asking for 1000L/month.
I get request like this all the time and when you actually try to fulfill the order, everyone ghosts…

I’m getting the same requests for for huge amounts/week and wet dream $/g. I’ve given some samples to the brokers and they’ve come back saying no go (pesticides). Sounds too good to be true so I’m not biting.

I get the same offers and as stated above, the minute you ask for a deposit or to cash out 1l they disappear.

Tell them you only work with customers who can sign a 12 month contract for 10k kg of distillate per week lol

If you need help fulfilling inquiry Please give me a call.
We can piece that order together from a few different sources.
310 490 2794
yes @Trichomie, crude should float on water. but only just. I see densities around 0.96 to 0.98g/ml.
you’re correct, 40 short of 1000 starts to add up after a while, but using 1g/ml sure is convenient

That’s what we do. Got so many $4000 - $4500 a liter offers I just started laughing to myself about it. Why would I sell some broker our fairly small batches (liter or so a batch) for $4.5 per gram when I can fill syringes with quality distillate and sell retail to the public for $70 or make vape pens for $50… (Going retail rates in Maine) Lol Sure once we start cranking out 30 liters month (coming in April) we might consider selling our older aging distillate that is starting to stack up, for the going black market vape pen rate of $13 - $15 a gram but until that happens we are selling ours retail. As others have said, brokers are clueless about what it takes just to produce just 5 liters let alone 100. It is laughable. So my advice for brokers, if you want to make the big bucks, learn some chemistry and get your hands dirty. Because I am not funding your kids college fund from my hard work while you sit back and do nothing. And I am guessing that most of the rest of us won’t either. Heh

yes and the best part is they just think that the more they want the more insane the discount, they never account for the extra work added because they dont do any work so its not even in their thoughts just bottom dollar bottom dollar
