dealer phone etiqette

[Wood]

so my roommate is trying to score a bag the other day, from a dealer who happens to be a friend of mine. he pages him, then he gets the call back. after they arrange a meeting place, roomie says, for whatever reason 'im just looking for a 40 bag'. *click* dealer hangs up.

so he pages him again the next morning. gets the call back, arranges the meeting, and again, for no reason that i can imagine, reminds the dealer 'i just want like an eighth or maybe a quarter'.

*click*

no roomie's pissed and says he won't buy from that dealer anymore. i think that's stupid, where i'm from it's common knowledge that you don't discuss money or quantities on the phone. it's a safety measure. we don't know the extent of this guy's operation, it's not inconcievable that he'd be under survailence. roomie says that dealer's being too paranoid, but fuck it poays to be paranoid in that line of work, no?

and for fucks sakes, why do you even need to mention the quantity over the phone? is he afraid he'll meet up with the guy and he'll say 'sorry, i only have pounds today'?

oh well, just bitching.. the only reason it affects me is that i only smoke my roomie's weed thse days, and i know now he'll go get some nasty bush weed from one of his low-end amateur connections. :sick:

[cinist]

well i wouldn't say it is completly stupid. infact in all my years of picking up weed, and even back in that day large quantities i've never had anyone who got upset about talking about it on the phone, except once when i left a message about it. i'd say the guy is paranoid too, but hey it's him who is taking the risk so i guess he has that right.
why don't you just tell your roomie he fucked up, so you'll pick up for him?

[sh4un]

that is good thinking
but we always say how much we need on the fone
just so its all ready wen we get there
never had a problem yet...

but if sum1 is heated like that u gotta respect that

[sNyx]

step 1: hey whats up <dealers name>, its <your name>
step 2: you local man?
step 3: yeah im looking for a <amount of cronic>
step 4: cool, see you in <estimated time>

sometimes may need a step between 3 and 4 to make a meeting place.

simple. save the shit-chat for when you meet him.

[Guice_39]

Yeah I've seen that before. All you gotta do is say who it is and ask if you can meet him somewhere, he'll tell you where and when is a good place to meet. Its obvious to the dealer you need chron, like Myles said, all the details will be discussed when you meet him.

[Sh4n3]

bah it's not heaty unless he's slanging huge amounts and rolling in huuuuuuugeeeeee bills

there's a dealer over here... apparently has 30 g's under his mattress... and in his drawers (which i've seen ) he has HELLA bills... he slangs bud and yao... the cops know about him

but theyaren't even tappin his line

it's gotta be damn huge for them to

["jawayo"1]

yeah....cops wont tap a line unless the have reason to belive that yur selling lots of cocaine and weed or something....

[zarlon]

"Sup ____?"

"Who's this?"

"It's Claire, how's it going man?"

"Not bad, not bad, you?"

"All good over here, think I can stop by sometime soon?"

"No worries man, how long?"

"20-30 mins I'm thinking"

"Cool shit, see you then"


It's aaaaaalllllll you need.. If they're all out or can't meet up they'll let you know when you call!

[crookedking]

i don't even like saying stuff over the comp.

[crookedking]

it's not wheter or not you're paranoid. it's wheter or not you're paranoid enough!

[brandi]

ya its not to big of a deal when your talkin about grams or ounces of bud but when ur talking bout grams and ounces of blow then u best not be talk on the phone

[JuNgLe~BuNnY]

I figure that if five-0 is tappin yer phone line then yer pretty much fucked no matter what......
