Drug mules

Can anyone tell me how much pure cocaine could fit inside a condom or "bullet", how much it would be worth on the street, and how much it would be worth in the nineteen-eighties?

Rico is an unknown quantity at this point
umm...specifics i don't know, as i've never been a drug mule

i do know that good coke is f***ing expensive, and that it was probably worth more in the 80's than it would be now.

sorry, i don't think that was of any help. PM me if you want more detailed specifics, i'd rather not go over my drug habits in public

It can go for around 80 dollars an ounce. (But that's the good stuff.)
Don't ask me how I know this.

In 1985-86, a gram of coke in San Jose was $30 in a little paper package called a "bindle". An "eight ball" was 1/8 of an ounce, or 3.5 grams, and was "discounted"; I never bought that much. 1000 grams sold for $1200-$2000 and was much more pure, but the connections at that level were very scary/risky. You had to be a dealer if you were buying that much, and everyone was worried about narcs or getting ripped off or killed. With that much, it would be "cut" or "stepped on" with other stuff to make the value go up: half baby formula, half cocaine, and now you have 2000 grams of coke that will sell for $5000-$6000.

A condom would probably hold 300 grams of almost pure coke, as a guess.
