Vendor Stats??

Okay, so I don't know if this idea is feasible or not, but just hear me out.

Recently, I've found myself visiting the markets more frequently. However, it hasn't exactly been to purchase as much as it has been to log on and find out that my vendor of choice is out on vacation. That alone is not a big issue to me, but the extensive process to access the markets only to find the same "On Vacation" notice is really starting to bug me. I hate having to go through the process of restarting my PC, making sure nobody's around, waiting for TAILS to boot up, importing all my passwords, waiting to connect to Tor, waiting for the market (usually Agora) to load, etc etc etc... All to just check if the vendor I want to purchase from is back in business.

It's a bit of a headache as you know, so I was wondering.. Is there any sort of solution out there? Something like DNstats where you can see if a vendor is up before you even access the markets? This seems like a simple feat and I have no idea why this hasn't been done yet.

Can we make it happen or is this a bad idea?

If you only buying for personal use, I don't think the level of security is at all necessary. Maybe the vendor is on safeorscam.com... I never thought to check for dnm vendors, but rc vendors are known to post availability statuses on SOS.
