Some shit is going down here. (Agora Vendors)

Alright I haven't completely figured out the case here, but this is what I have noticed.

I was looking for Xanax today and when I got on Agora, I just typed it in the search. Only about 10 results show up. I saw a vendor named RXChemist with a decent deal. I checked out his vendor page. "Just came back from vacation, all stuff in stock, FE only for now!!" That's weird. I scroll down to feedback and well...here's the link..

http://agorahooawayyfoe.onion/vendor/RXChemist#

It's just FE, will update. FE, will update. FE. FE. Fe for trusted vendor. I just started laughing because those people are idiots. This guy suddenly came back from vacation, has all this stuff available now, and is requesting FE? No vendor would ever do this!

To make it even worse, if we go back to the page of results to find another Xanx vendor, we look at another listing with the same picture, and see that it is not the same vendor. This vendor is Gotmilk. We go to his page, and find yet another vendor with all the reviews saying FE, FE, FE, FE. Why the hell do people ever FE?? This is seriously ridiculous!

Here is his page: http://agorahooawayyfoe.onion/vendor/Gotmilk#

I'm not sure which or if they are both scams. I am looking to see if any of the other pictures match. Either to the same vendor, or to other vendors. They both have tons of products though.

Almost all Indian vendors demand FE because three weeks in shipping can be a lifetime given bitcoin fluctuations. The Grand Wizard has successfully completed transactions with many Indian vendors, including the ones you mention, and hasn't been scammed yet.

Quite a few other shops, including the Grand Wizard's Lair, are now demanding FE because of ongoing market instability. Those who don't want to FE can always shop at our Evo office, where we offer multisig -- but we can't afford to risk losing big chunks of change to the FBI or to an exit scam. From our perspective, you can either choose the hassle of learning multisig or the convenience of FE. We'll still do our best to see that your package arrives and make things right if it doesn't. But we're not going to put our money in someone else's hands until we're sure it won't vanish.

Vaguely related, but let me repeat something I've written on the Agora subreddit:

Agora's search bar, quite simply, sucks. It has never worked properly throughout the entire site's existence, only displaying a small fraction of the real results. Don't even bother with it.

By far, the best way to browse Agora and ensure you're seeing everything is to browse by categories on the left, until you get to one with no further sub-categories. You will see pages upon pages of listings, depending on the category. At that point, above the listings on the right, you can sort by delivery country, price, vendor feedback score, number of deals, etc.

You will miss out on many potential top-notch vendors and good deals by using the search box.

Click on "Drugs" then "Benzos". The first 2 pages have over 30 listings.

Okay it was changed to speculation, but honestly if a vendor is using the same picture as another vendor, I feel like that is a huge red flag. Why would anyone do that? And Gotmilk seems to be a long time trusted vendor, he has tons of transactions from almost a years worth on Agora, and he is verified for 159 transactions on BMR.

RXChemist is relatively new. 5 months ago his account was registered. There are some good reviews mixed in with the FE things, but I don't like this.

Also, I just looked on the forum and found out that he actually got hacked a month or so ago. I didn't see anything saying if he got it back.

Just as an aside on your third paragraph, this started happening at the original SR. Every vendor had tenure started requiring FE. When I started researching SR, every single feedback result for a lot of the products I was looking at was "FE will update", "5/5 FE FOR TRUSTED VENDOR."

I think this is just a testament to the market's stability and longevity to be honest. Whether you participate in it is up to you. A lot of times vendors will require accounts with 0 transactions to FE for fear of scam.

You are really funny. Is this based all on your search results by typing in "xanax" (which won't work)?

FE is required because markets go down by FEDs or owners of markets steal money, its one thing to risk $100 usd its another to ask a vendor to risk $50,000 usd.

You should stop being selfish with proven vendors.

also Gotmilk is a great vendor, so you should not be concerned.

Tor bazzar should be cool
