Vendors - Why and how did you start vending?

C'mon, let's hear your story! I don't care if you're AK or a new vendor that just started today.

When did you hear about the Darknet? How much money did you invest in your business? Has it been a good investment so far? Closest call with LE? Advice to new vendors starting out?

I had brief stint as US reseller for Dutch OG SR vendor who stayed vending until the fall of nucleus. I heard about DNMs about 4-5yrs ago and became early early investor in BTC (legally) I wanted to be a vendor instead of a IRL dealer but what would I sell and who would supply me? The way I saw it, the packs I had to receive as a vendor weren't any more dangerous than the packs I was already grabbing in those days to sell IRL

What caught his attention was - I had been ordering from him for months and not small orders. One order never made it and I snapped on his ass because I had FEd and trusted him. He didn't know English too well so initially I worked as his customer service then he made me a vendor account on a market that is no longer running and I sold his products (except a few) for a season or 2 a number of years ago. These were the days of torchat so we could chat sometimes for hours on end and he taught me ALOT about staying safe as vendor and other valuable lessons which I still keep and use to this day

New advice: cut ties with everyone who may possibly tell others about what you plan on doing. Obviously you can hide it from some people but many friends will need to be cut. STOP SELLING IRL!!! Once you're a vendor, online sales only!!! It's a shitload of stress and paranoia - be ready for it! I couldn't handle the workload - I was a one man operation so I told him not only that but a close call with Feds was enough and we kept in touch for long time but after he stopped vending I lost touch with him. I had to do some -- unrelated to our business --time in the pen after our arrangement had ended and he sent me $1000 in coin so i could get fat in that shit hole and stay comfortable

What do you mean why? To make money clearly

I heard about it on CNN and started vending to change the world. I have yet to get an order but my hope remains 100.

I met a guy on some message board who was picking up a script from me and figured out he was selling it on some online market called SilkRoad with a %500 markup over what I was selling them to him for. Found out you could sell one script and make more money than working full time as a Mcdonalds manager..

The Grand Wizard started with a couple grams of 2c-b and a dream. Honestly, at that time, our only dream was to find an easy way of procuring bitcoins so we could buy weed with minimal hassle. (Anybody remember pot2peer?). But things grew rapidly and before we knew it our side hustle for satoshis became our day job.

Since there's so few actual answers (typical) I'll put in my two cents. I had an excess of drugs already and a good connect. I sold those drugs along with some more for a few months to make extra money before deciding it was going to totally take over my life if I didn't stop so I did. Too much time spent alone and I had to keep making up excuses to avoid people.

I learned about the darknet probably 2011-2012? Tried to access silkroad when I first discovered TOR but it was down at the time and I never tried again. When they got taken down it renewed my interest and I made my first order a few months after - 1g MDMA. No close calls with LE thankfully but there were a few fuckups that I'm not going to discuss. Helps that I was an extremely small fish.

Never stopped selling IRL since my clientele is so small and trustworthy, plus it's how I cashed out a lot of my coin.

Heard about the Darknet from here. Invested enough money to acquire materials to lay ample LSD tabs to sell. No calls with LE. Advice to new vendors? Don't fuck up.
