If you would like to participate I would like to do a reverse AMA for both buyers and vendors.

I'm finding myself more and more fascinated by this culture and what it's like to be a seller and customer. I only have marginal experience with the dark net back in the SR1 days just browsing the different markets and such. I also use to be a former junkie buying shit off the streets. Never was arrested surprisingly. But enough about me. I want to know about y'all.

VENDORS How did you get started selling? If you could, would you have chosen a different path in life? What hardships other than the obvious do you face in your life on a day to day basis? Are you happy with your life right now? What's what thing you wish to tell your buyers?

BUYERS what is your DOC and how did it become such? Do you think the risks are greater buying on the streets or on markets? What's the biggest downside of ordering from dnms aside from getting caught? What are your aspirations and long term goals? What's one thing you wish to tell vendors?

So feel free to answer or tell me to fuck off. And thank you guys and gals for humoring my curiosity.

EDIT: I just want to say thank you for everybody that answered. Y'all show that this is one of the best communities on Reddit. Please be safe in any future endeavors. And if you think that it's your time to leave the game, then do it. Just dont be a shitty exit scammer

Biggest downside: getting addicted to ordering packages, the prospect of all these drugs at your fingertips you've never tried/you enjoy can be irritatingly enticing.

Aspirations: become a doctor and then specialise as a cardiac surgeon / if med school doesn't work out start my own programming firm.

Online/street: street has way more risks, in my area the police generally know all the local dealers hangouts e.g outside my local skatepark/ near X park etc so it's very hard to approach new guys without being caught.

One thing to tell vendors: please use more decoys and reply quicker, if you put a new customer at ease he's much more likely to order from you again. Nothing worse than being kept in limbo as regards to your package and when it should arrive.

I'm a vendor. Started from the beginning, as most things start. Definitely would choose this life again. Hardest part is not being able to tell the people closest to you what you do. Totally happy with life, a bit stressful, but it's worth it. I want to tell buyers to stop selling me sob stories. You guys really think I'm gonna send you free shit because you made up some crappy soap opera story? If you need a handout, get it from the welfare office, not me. Also, buyers, why the hell do you expect me to remember who you are because you ordered months ago? We get hundreds of customers a month, unless we personally spoke, I don't remember you.

I'm a vendor (not posting under my usual account, obviously), but more as a part time hobby than a job. I just sell my own personal prescription. My dose is higher than I need so I halve pills and don't need them every day, but I still fill every month.

I was a buyer before and started thinking about vending when I realized I had a solid supply just sitting there. So I did the research and took my time to get my OPSEC on point before I even started.

It's been a couple of years now and I actually kinda enjoy it. Nice thing about being small is I take my time with simple stuff like packaging and stealth and make sure I never get sloppy or complacent even once. I actually take a lot of pride in the process and all the little details and my customers appreciate it too. Nearly all my feedback is about the great stealth and packaging.

Why do I do it? Money, of course, but I rarely exchange the BTC. I started around the time it was $250. With BTC going up I've got a nice little investment growing in a cold wallet.

But I'm happy, I have a good day job and family, and vending is just an extra income not worth taking dumb risks for. I'll just stop if ever I get bored or have a security scare - like I took a total break for 6 months when Nucleus shit the bed, and it wasn't a big deal.

I don't know how the full-time guys do it with all the extra stress and security concerns, and the risk of a market going down and taking your whole livelihood with it. Makes me really appreciate the good ones who stick around for years and keep the quality up.

One thing I wish I could tell buyers: once you get your package and have checked it's okay, do us a solid and finalize as soon as you can. Please. Or if there's a problem, message as soon as you can.

But don't just wait.

Most of my repeat buyers are great and finalize the day of or day after delivery, but every now and then there's a new customer douchcanoe who decides to wait for escrow to expire. I see your most recent login date, Mr. Douchcanoe...

It's more than just being good manners to pay for services rendered: no smart person wants to keep their coins in a market, so if you wait days after delivery to finalize, we have to regularly check in days after the order to see if you released the funds yet. If you're using proper OPSEC to buy (and you should be!) think about the effort you take every time you log in to place an order, and the potential risks you weigh up: Public wifi? Rotating different wifi spots? Cellphone at home? Tails stick? Encryption? 2FA? Now multiply that for your vendor handling lots of orders, and maybe you can see why needing to log in any more than necessary can be bad for security, which is bad for buyers, too.

But also: It really IS just good manners!

i want drugs to be legal. ordering from dnms just underlines how fucking impossible it is to keep the shit criminalized. dms also supply a somewhat much higher quality drugs because the seller has his reputation to take care of and a competition to mind. a street drug dealer can just step on his shit and be like buy it or fuck off they dont give a shit


[5 Points] aorshahar:

Well, I'm a buyer. Made one order for some LSD. Originally I just wanted to get like 20 tabs or so for my friends and I to try it. Then I realized I could just buy 125 tabs for a bit more and sell the rest to make some money.

No idea if I'm going to continue with this or not though

I like weed because it gets me high.


[5 Points] free-agent:

My DOC is cold brew coffee, and occasionally a little MJ. I buy to sell, because where I live people want but can't have so I provide a way to fill the want. Vendors: keep up the good work.

[2 Points] throwawayvendorbuyer:

just made this throwaway so might take a bit for the post to show up....

I'm both a buyer and a vendor.

Vendor: Got into it for the money, I resell xanax that a friend of mine presses and sell Team Trust tabs of LSD. I like my path in life, but it sucks that I can't be completely honest with people as to what I do. The things I wish to tell my buyers: put your address in right (that means include a name and zip code, people don't include that all the time for some reason), don't message me a million questions that are already answered on my not so long profile, don't complain and ask for a refund or reship because "I really need that money man" when you use a drop with a fake name and USPS marks it "undeliverable as addressed." Also, please finalize when your order arrives and you are satisfied, I'm just throwing a guess out here but I would surmise 50% of my orders just autofinalize after 14 days since buyers are lazy or whatever. How would you like having several thousand dollars of your money sitting on some market for 2 weeks?

Buyer: DOC is weed, I've been smoking it since high school and love it, recently I've started vaping more since health and shit. I also like to occasionally use other drugs, for example I like to trip on LSD or shrooms every once in a while, and on the weekends I sometimes indulge in xanax or cocaine. I think the risks are greater buying on the streets. The biggest downside is the wait, no drugs the same day you want them. Aspirations and long term goals? Use the money I've been making and saving by vending to expand both my illegal operation and to start investing in/starting legal businesses. One thing I wish to tell vendors? Don't take forever to ship the product. Don't say you have too many orders or whatever. I know what it's like to be a vendor. Work your ass off to provide good customer service and if you can't keep up with the amount of orders raise your prices slightly. Its economics 101: supply and demand. Keep raising prices till your order flow is an amount you can handle. You will make more per order and unit of drug, won't be as stressed out, and your buyers will be very happy.

Edit: last suggestion for buyers about finalizing in a decent amount of time.

Buyer here:

If I had to pick a drug of choice it'd probably be LSD. If we're getting a little more general, I'd say psychedelics as a whole because it's super hard for me to pick a certain one as my favorite. If I were to rank every drug I've taken it'd go something like this: Psychedelics, stimulants, weed, opiates. I've never touched a benzo or a dissosociative.

I'm pretty new to ordering these things online but I'm definitely way less sketched out buying highly illegal substances on here than I would be going and doing it out on the street. It's strange though - I feel I'm much safer ordering harder drugs to my door but in the same step, I feel it's much more risky to order weed to my door and to this day I still buy weed from my dealer in person. Strange now that you have me thinking about it.

I think the biggest downside is definitely the wait and maybe S&H. These are all things I never pictured being involved in a drug trade and would you look at that - they are. Before the darkweb my reach for drugs was much more limited by it's not like I had to wait a week for my dealer to get me the drug. Now I do. The shipping prices aren't too bad because of how much cheaper drugs are on the darkweb as opposed to the streets. I guess it evens out there.

My aspirations? Personally, I'm just persuing my education at the moment and plan to get a decent career. I guess that would be my long term goals as well. Nothing really linked to the darkweb.

The biggest thing I would tell vendors is definitely use some more stealth. I've ordered a couple of packages where it was promoted as "really good stealth" and upon opening the package, it wasn't much. Also, for the vendors that provide excellent service and quality product - thank you. You're the kind of people this world needs. A clean, legit product going to someone who wants it? Someone might have the negative outlook of "Oh, they're a drug dealer." But realistically - that's business; supply and demand. Keep doing your thing, you're providing a service a lot of people wouldn't dare touch.

If you want me to elaborate on any of this I have no problem doing so; just shoot me a reply and we can have a conversation.
