Right, 1%-5%. But I don't think I'd care to deal with illegal product and any possible (even if unlikely) headaches around it just to save $1-$5 for every $100 spent. Seems kinda foolish.

But yeah, I suppose if you're also picking up some illegal stuff, makes sense to make it a one-stop shopping trip.

People buying from dealers aren't considering the illegality in the choice at all, though. They're a choice between continuing to buy from someone they know vs entering a storefront that is going to make them provide a bunch of PII on the first visit, which also costs more.

For me the price was worth it to make "the person I know" become a "person I no longer knew".
