Vendor "Starter Guide"

Vendor "starter guide".

I wrote this because I was bored tbh, if you didn't know most of this stuff already, you really aren't cutout to be a vendor and should really stay away from the business.

  1. Stock - You should ALWAYS keep a substantial stock on hand. These products can be kept at your house (although I strongly advise against it) or at a drop. Either way, it's always good to have extra stock - if someone orders 150 hits of LSD and you only started out with 100, how are you gonna explain to him that you don't have enough? I know that this part could be down voted, but it's gonna make you look like a fucking fool, and what if he goes out and says this happened? People will deem you an unreliable vendor.

  2. Money(the unencrypted part)- always have extra money on hand after you start. Many markets already have you pay a somewhat large vendor bond, IE Alphabay $200. After you get your stock up yes it will be a A LOT of money you are "wasting" but it won't be wasted in the long run! If a buyer disputes, that's lost money and you are going to have to pay to get more stock. You need a way to pay for shipping don't you? You need to pay for boxes and decoys. Long story short, always keep extra cash and bitcoin to assure yourself that you will never fall behind

  3. Money(the encrypted part) - You should always use tumblers to obfuscate the trail of your coins. When withdrawing from a market, when sending money in for more stock - it may cost a little bit of money and may be slow and annoying - but it will save your ass in the long run

  4. Shipping - There are many denominations to shipping. First, the outside - I've seen many vendors ship with plain boxes and such, which can raise flags. This doesn't typically raise flags, but if the package is already suspected of containing drugs, having a blank box won't do anything good. You should try to make your box look like a business. For example, if you're shipping bars - spoof a label to a store that sells pencils or paperclips or some shit that could sound like the bars, that way if there is any suspicion, it's just pencils rattling in the packages! Another example is LSD sheets. Spoof a god damn box to staples and pretend its paper lol. All in all, use your imagination and pretend your drugs are something else - and pretend the outside of your box is that company!

Second, the inside stealth - this isn't huge for domestic orders, or even international orders if the packages aren't coming from high profile countries, however, you should always take extra precautions so your packs don't get profiled. So, just like the first part - use your imagination - This part had to be edited out because I broke rule 12! Long story short, use your imagination and disguise your drugs as something similar (that is legal of course). Better safe than sorry!

  1. Logistics - Do your best to always keep up on your orders - shipping out your orders on time will make repetitive, happy customers. If you have 30 packs to package in a night and a legitimate job the next morning, take the fucking bite and do it! Don't make excuses for yourself! Just do it! lol i'm starting to feel like a meme. In all seriousness though, if you get all your packages out on time, your customers will be happy and come back for more. I know must of us aren't influenced by money, but it makes the world go round - the better you organize your business and get your packages out on time, the better your business will look. Which brings me to my next point:

  2. Organization - Treat your business like a legitimate business. Keep records of everything (except for buyers information of course). You should log everything - keep a record of current orders to keep tracking numbers stashed. Once that order is delivered, delete the information. This ensures that you have evidence the package arrived in case of a dispute. Work out prices for buying stock and price out how many orders you will need to ship out before you actually start making profit - this way, you know how much money you can actually cashout of your account while still being able to order more stock.

Once again, all in all, just organize and log fucking everything - so you don't go fucking crazy when you go looking for an orders tracking number or forget how much it costs to order 1000 more hits of LSD.

  1. Protection yourself IRL - There really is a shit ton you can do IRL to keep yourself safe. If you tell everyone that you are a vendor and you're making all this money, you are going to get snitched on. That's the most common way that you can get caught IRL but there are many other factors - ill list a few:

-Your license plate is caught on camera from a seized pack - this goes back to the shipping part - if a package gets seized and the cops think it will lead to something valuable, they are going to find out when the package was dropped off and pull the video cameras - there is a small chance of them actually catching your plate, and really most vendors don't use blue boxes near post offices anyways, but if they actually catch your license plate, you're fucked. Either hire someone TRUSTED to do it, use a fake plate, or don't use blue boxes near cameras

-Your face is caught on camera. Once again, if you are dropping packages off in a post office, they have a better chance of getting a picture of you. This won't lead to too much, because they don't actually know who you are, where you live etc, but if they are already investigating you, that is all the evidence they need.

-You used your personal information on the package. You have to be completely clueless as to what's going on if you think that you should put anything identifying on or in a package. Use a real return address that isn't linked to you. Use a fake name, or even better go on whitepages.com and use reverse address lookup to get the name of your return address. Never leave fingerprints in or on the package.

When purchasing postage, use an anonymous service that accepts bitcoin(I will not actually list some, as they would't be anonymous if you knew!) however, a simple search on /r/DNM shouldn't lead you far off from a good source. Pay in bitcoin - if you are shipping large packs that require a label, make sure that you aren't printing while on an instant messaging service. I know that's kind of out of the blue, but if you are chatting on jabber with a skilled hacker, attaching to a bluetooth device while another computer is linked to yours is a direct point to your location - instead, going back to "organization", put the address and the order into a spreadsheet, close everything DN related, and then load up a new Tor session and start purchasing your tables.

I'm sorry this was such a generic and general guide - I will be writing more advanced ones in the next coming days if I get good reviews on this one!

Thank you!!

Edit: Looks like my numbers got all messed up. Sorry.

Edit 2: I'm writing another guide on the more technical side of things - please leave your advice on what should be included in that little article/post. I'll make sure to include you in the credits.

Edit 3: Since I used specific stealth in the guide, I broke rule 12...Sorry about that!

You forgot to mention prepackaging. List specific quantities -1g, 3.5g, 5g, 10g and scale out 15 of each in one go. Then vacuum seal all of them up at once, move them into a different room and use a bowl of rubbing alcohol to wipe them all down. Vacuum seal them all up again and then store them in a nice organizer. This will save you a ton of time later and make you much less likely to make mistakes or take shortcuts when you are rushing to get a single pack ready before the mail is picked up.

HOW TO VEND ON THE DARKNETS PART 1:

Treat your DNM shop like an eBay store. Your job is not to be the Darknet's Dopest Gangsta. It's to get your product from Point A to Point B in the fastest, most efficient manner possible. Start from there and you will find many of your prospective problems sort themselves out.

Rule #1...never get high on your own supply. Unless its cocaine.... in which case go for it.


[2 Points] xansllcureya:

Ha I don't even want to become a DNM vendor and I knew everything in this guide. That's what happens when you read this sub day in and day out.


[1 Points] MDMangel:

This was very informative. Now we all have something to link folks to when they ask for a starter guide. Thank you for this. I hope it gets alot of exposure and other vendors and tech savvy people give some genuine input. This is a great post!


[1 Points] teddybearortittybar:

Personally I don't think there should be any sort of "vendor guide" at all. These people should be searching out the answers themselves. Especially on salting with USPS and shipping. The number of people that come here asking how to do it all step by step always seem so clueless that I would be afraid to trust my freedom with a shipment coming from them.


[1 Points] sapiophile:

Shit OP, this is a great post, but I had to remove it because of the couple spots where you describe specific stealth methods (see Rule 12). If you can edit the post again to take those parts out, I'd be glad to re-approve this useful guide! Thanks a million for understanding, and I'm sorry about that.
