"The 6-inch by 4-inch white brick of pure Southeast Asian heroin
(described as a unit in the opening paragraphs and priced at $3,000 at
the refinery) generally is sold in New York City at a wholesale price
of $70,000. [...] After being cut and resold on the street for $10 in
50-milligram dime bags, a 700-gram unit of Southeast Asian heroin will
generate $280,000 in sales." - The Price Dynamics of Southeast Asian
Heroin, http://www.dea.gov/pubs/intel/01004-intellbrief.pdf
