vs cheapest listed foreign price
Four steps, one loop — the spread funds the next float.
Mules fly and buy abroad. A member flies out, buys Xanax at the foreign shop price, and flies home.
Cheapest listed source is usually Japan or South Africa
The faction buys it in. The fund pays the mule 10% under the top trader bid — still well above what the mule paid abroad.
Currently $742,500 per Xanax
Members buy it back cheaper. Any of SoT's 46 members can buy from the fund at 5% under the bazaar average.
Currently $784,000 — beat the benchmark in 326 of 347 snapshots
The spread stays in the fund. The gap between buy and sell is the faction's margin, recycled into the next round of float.
Currently $41,500 per Xanax turned over
Adopted Nov 9, 2026 · both prices floored to $500.

Projector uses the historical average margin of $44,890 per unit and assumes every buy is matched by a sale. It does not compound float growth or model unsold inventory.
Each test ran over the snapshots complete at the time.
| Buy / sell discount | What the data said | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 10% / 1% (original) | Healthy margin, but members barely beat the bazaar — weak reason to buy from the fund. | Replaced |
| 20% / 10% | Margin averaged $87,063, but flyers only profited in 32 of 328 snapshots — and 0 of the latest 100. Nobody flies at a loss. | Rejected |
| 5% / 10% | Spread inverted: both anchors sit near $825k, so the margin was negative in all 330 snapshots (avg −$39,653). | Rejected |
| 10% / 5% | Margin averages $44,890, mules profit in every snapshot, members beat the bazaar. With the old flat $50,000 floor it cleared only 14.8% of hours — so the floor became 5% of buy price instead. | Adopted |
