I sell between 2 to 4 oz a week..
Am I over paying on the wholesale price..
Being in new York it's difficult to judge because I've never seen or visited a dispensary..
To answer your question... YES!
You said you pickup once per month and move around 2-4 ounces per week. This means you purchase between one half and one full pound per month.
You said you pay $35/eighth, which would be $4,480 per pound. You said you sell for $50/eighth, which would be $6,400 take per pound, grossing you $1,920 per month.
While I doubt you are selling that much all in eighths at that rate, you are still wildly overpaying for bulk, unless you are looking at High Times centerfold buds - in which case you should be selling for a lot more than $50 per eighter in NYC.
Get on the dark net and pay less and never buy your bulk pre-weighed for you. It makes you more vulnerable for "intent to distribute" charges and makes you and your clients more susceptible to being ripped off, as I doubt you weighed each individual bag, etc.
But yeah, pay less.
