Buying from Bitcoin exchanges rather than vendors for the darknet - pros/cons

Hey, As above; still kind of new to this and I was interested in what the benefits are of purchasing from a vendor rather than from an exchange, a slight increase in anonymity? But is this not accomplished by washing your Coin anyhow..

Cheers, -col

There are pros and cons to both. You are correct that if you tumble your coins that you can remove 99% of the risk associated with exchanges.

I recommend for new BTC buyers on here to use cash deposit. You get your coins pretty quickly (depending on the vendor) and it's 100% anonymous.

Wouldn't it be possible to just set up on an exchange and then sell Coins to yourself through an alternate identity/IP?
