Hello everyone, thought I would make this post in order to gripe about a couple of things and to give buyers some insight into what goes on behind the scenes for a vendor.
First, a bit of background on me. I joined the DNM community in late February (in fact, this purchase was the first time I did any drug [illegally anyway]). Within a week I was dealing locally. Over the next couple of months I learned quite a bit about the markets and drugs in general. At the end of July I decided to become a vendor. It has now been a little over two months and I have stellar feedback and over two hundred sales. During this time I've been amazed at the niceness and genuine sincerity that this community has demonstrated (both in terms of my customers and some of the vendors I have purchased from).
Things I've learned as a buyer turned vendor:
Sometimes, delays happen. It's not always in the vendor's control. I pride myself on customer service and receiving messages from people when packages are one day past the two day USPS priority guarantee is quite stressful.
Please, please, please finalize your orders when you receive them. Nothing compares to the fear of a market shutting down with more money than you can afford to lose tied up in escrow. I understand that products have to be tested and such; however, please be considerate of vendors as I'd like to believe that most enjoy providing the service that they do (and are in it for the money of course :P)
Address mistakes. Order sober, take an extra ten seconds to check your address. Deciding whether to correct an obvious typo, delay an order to try and contact you, or just risk the package getting lost is not a fun time. It is to everyone's advantages to make sure your address is perfect.
That being said, feel free to ask questions. The following topics are more or less off limits (I will answer them at my discretion, so feel free to ask questions that may fall on this list).
What products do you sell, how much are they, etc. This is not an ad and as such I will not be pushing my products in this post.
How do you source X, what is your price for Y, what is your margin for Z. Although I have been open with some of these numbers and things, I do not feel like it is appropriate in an AMA for OPSEC reasons
Questions related to my local dealing or anything else that would allow LE to DOX me
Very specific questions about my stealth.
Questions such as "How much money do you make?", "How much does your average customer buy?", etc. If it is not visible on Evo, I am probably not willing to share it as it would allow LE to determine how large my shop is.
I'll be answering for the next day or two. Looking forward to hearing from everyone, Stim
EDIT: Please avoid PMing me. Post your question, if it is appropriate I will answer it here.
Four hours in and it's dieing down, still here refreshing this page and my order page compulsively :P, why dosen't anyone love me.
How much more paranoid did you become now you know that 'they' are out to get you? ;)
