Sometimes I wonder what a vendors life must be life.

I have the upmost respect for most of these vendors that we buy from. It is honestly crazy what they do. Yea, probably most of them are hardened criminals that can handle such a extremely illegal endeavor but vendors like HOS and BlueViking must be very interesting people. Sometimes I wonder what they do or who they are. For all we know HOS could be a twenty something babe that goes out on weekends while secretly selling tens of thousands of dollars of LSD off the internet. Vendors must live some very, very, interesting lives.

Should we(our team) do an AMA?

EDIT: Up vote this if you want us to do an AMA. If we get enough votes we'll do one w/ a cool giveaway.

EDIT: Wow what a great response. We will announce an AMA sometime this weekend and actually do it in the middle of next week sometime.

I know 3 vendors personally. None of them live anything remotely resembling a normal life. The fear of getting caught is real and they live under constant stress.

One of these days I want to post some of the stories that I have gained in my eight months into the world of drugs. Sadly, they are all so farfetched that almost none of them could ever be told. It's sad in a way, because I really want to tell people sometimes.

I imagine most of them are actually normal everyday people rather than hardened criminals, probably well educated. I know quite a few "hardened criminals" and they wouldn't know that these markets even existed, they tend not to be tech savvy in any way sourcing product the old fashioned way. although some of them probably work for hardened criminals that wouldn't know how to do it themselves

they wake up, check PMs, play ps4 all day and go visit their friendly blue boxes every day or two. Shits cake

I have the upmost respect

Vocabulary Nazi: "UTMOST". 😊

Probably similar to any of our lives with alot more packaging and shipping. Its not hard to have real life hookups that would make selling on the DN very lucrative. They just chose to actually do it.

If you're doing it right being a vendor is like being an eBay seller. You make a living as an online merchant; you make sure you have inventory on hand, figuring out what's hot and what's hot; you make sure all your listings are up to date on all your markets; you answer customer questions and mail out customer orders; etc. The major differences are that you don't have to be discreet about your eBay business and you don't have to deal with currency conversion.

That probably doesn't sound very exciting because it isn't. But every smart vendor needs to remember the old Chinese curse about living in interesting times.

My mom sells stuff on ebay. That's pretty much what it's like, depending on your level of paranoia.

MY life is not particularly normal. I mean I have a normal life. but I also have this fucked up meth vending life thats get me laid a lot and gives me a constant supply of cash. (Thinkin about it, its probably the cash that gets me laid, most likely) I work my arse off though, lie so much I often have to pause to think before answering a simple question like "are you at work this afternoon" and I have to also study like hell to know about the thing I tell people I do for a living.

But right now im sitting with two asian hookers in their flat, smoking and watching them prance about in their underwear.

I have a good relationship with a master chemist who answers most of my stupid questions. Have a chinese supplier who can get anything if i ever wanted it.

And while im certainly not complacent, i dont worry very much about getting caught, because the way i operate is geared completely towards me not going to jail if they do kick my door in at 6am.

I've not been in a situation where I felt the slightest bit threatened since I sold coke as a street dealer years ago. I don't need to try to intimidate people, chase people for money or worry about another dealer robbing me. And I cant say I've ever witnessed a situation where a person got hurt that could be attributed to what I do.

That said; my actual real life is a fucking fucking mess, so take from that what you will

I tried submitting a new post, but it wouldn't let me do it. The bot said it was automatically removed because of soliciting PM (wtf?). I'm no so sure we can't be traced either since reddit is a clearnet site and cookies from other sites.

I would think most vendors would live in a cave in Kyrgyzstan owning a local village who they force to make their drugs and bribe the government to ship the drugs.

Here is the life(as spoken by one of our employees):

"Wake up, check Agora, package MDMA, send said MDMA, Check Agora, reply to msgss, Check Agora, reply to msgss, Check Agora, reply to msgss, Check Agora some more, etc. Sleepy time"

We tend to have great response time for some odd reason ;)

A Dutch newspaper (volkskrant) had an interview posted with a Dutch vendor who sold lsd. Will look up the article when I get out of bed.

Our lives are generally stressful, harge amounts of disposable income usually makes our lives a bit better. Downside of selling online though, you can have considerable amount of bitcoins but be flat broke IRL.

Remember a while ago Scurvy Crew did an interview with All Things Vice talking about their lives? If you search Scurvy Crew it should be one of the first that comes up, it was top thread for ages.

Fair enough, a fair bit of it was bullshit IMHO, and they were building to an exit scam, but ya know.
