DIDO.1 20,951 Posted August 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 All these people getting busted are big growers and dealers I'm guessing? So that will put price up and encourage more small growers no? I was thinking of supplying tents and set ups....totally legal? No issues but a growing market. The only problem I see is the chinks sell everything so cheap now there is loads of this stuff available on line. But the shops nearby have people queuing out of the doors (obviously corvid restrictions are causing the spaced queues making em look bigger). The stuff in the shops is so over priced it's scary but people are buying it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One cost a few quid more but peace of mind is sometimes priceless mate..... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I once had about 70 lights, shades and ballasts that a land lord took out of a property. I sold the lot as fast as I could list them in 1's, 2's and 3's. Non were delivered more than 8 mile away Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I once had a contact for lights and ballasts that had been in illegal grow rooms that had been raided by police.... I made house buying money when I got into it, when 99% of the customers are paying cash, and your in a hydro store and people walk in with up to £25k to completely fit out a unit (I have a friend who spent 60k over 3 months) you realise how Levi strauss and the guys selling riffle-boards, pans, and shovels during the gold rush (green is the new gold) we're the ones who really made the money. Places like Chesham hydro buy huge amounts of police seized gear and re-sell at a profit.Phil a hydro store owner I know has hunted in Africa, Romania, and a few other places and has a great lifestyle from the profits, I know another owner with a million quid house, all from gardening equipment. The last time I was in a UK store was one in west London, over Hayes way, Albanian owned, they were turning over a lot of cash, but as soon as you went in the guy is telling you to help yourself to soft drinks from the fridge and was super professional, their main clientele is Eastern Europeans from what I saw. Over here the store owners complain, since legality few come in with wedges of paper, instead it's small tents and one light 4 plant hobby kits, but in the UK if you chose your location carefully, know the equipment, and the game, you could build a decent business,would just take time, most prefer face-to-face transactions rather than card payments and deliveries, the game is filled with characters 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
