Is selling on Agora a must for new vendors?

I have recently started selling on the dark net, but have not seen as many orders as expected.

I started on BlackBank (unfortunately) and made 2 sales, neither of which finalized before they went dark.

Since then I have opened up shop on AlphaBay, but have not yet seen a single order.

Now I have already paid 2 vendor fees, should I bite the bullet and start vending on Agora also, or do you think it is possible to continue vending on AlphaBay for the mean time?

Well you should've chosen Nucleus or Agora, they are far and away the most popular.

I mean simple economics would tell you when you have the least amount of visibility, you have the best odds at getting orders on the market with the most customers. Which would be Agora. No it's not necessary, but it's probably smart.

out of all the markets come n gone over the past year an a half only used agora.

fer me it,s Ag or nothin.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I realize selling on Agora is probably the best move, but I was trying to see if it was necessary. It seems people really would rather stay where they feel most comfortable.

I will be setting up shop on Agora very soon.

For now you can find me on AlphaBay and Amazon Dark. Mention /r/darknetmarkets and I will offer you a discount.

Assuming you sell weed based on your username. Pretty crowded market. Personally if I were trying to launch as a vendor I'd start with 50 or 100 free 1G samples or something and be very meticulous about shipping time and responsiveness. Make a splash. If the product is legit it seems like that would be enough to land at least a few steady customers and just build from there. And no I'm not trying to get you to give me weed, don't even smoke anymore ;-)

I would advertise every wednesday and sunday, in their respective posts. Take a look at /u/chroncentrates, you can find him on agora and alphabay. He started maybe right before you(less than three months). He offered $10 grams for reviews, you can find multiple reviews on reddit. Agora may not be necessary, but having exposure is, especially if you are not on Agora.

I feel your prices are a little high, I have bought oil from a large portion of the vendors in the past 6-8 months. As a buyer it is hard to put down $50+ for a gram. I have no problem spending that, if I know it is top quality. As a new vendor, no one knows whether or not it is quality, or whether you know how to stealth a package. Check out HQBHO, he is a lesser known vendor on nucleus, very small amount of sales. His prices were once 50+5shipping, now they are 45+5 and 80+5 for 2.

I have seen someone on here recommending you, maybe it was one of the two that ordered or was it you shilling? Reddit can be your best friend or your worst enemy. I think reddit is more important, than which markets you are on.

TLDR Advertise every week, get users to post reviews w/ pictures.

Depends what your selling and your price...i dont care which market i buy from and i dont mind looking on other sites. But you need to make noise. You need to be seen as trustworthy with a good product and good service...response to emails, orders sent out same day and delivered on time...You should advertise yourself on here..i think you can do it somewhere...little promotions make people look

I'm AlphaBay only and doing great. Alphabay is almost at 80k users and has 9000 drug listings. That's risen from 55k and 6500 listings just a month ago. Go where the traffic is most rising. Agora is a shithole.
