Buyers should start trusting their vendors over DNMS

Vendors get fucked by vending on MKT with shitty security. vendors regularly getting fucked by exit scams. and these downtime hurting vendors the most.

not saying that buyer should trust every vendor. we all can witness what is happening with BB. And as for as concern AG, carrying issues since day 1.

I believe there should be email only vendors like on rcsources and have a forum somewhere for vendors to have a profile and feedback. If the vendor scams than post proof to the forums and leave negative feedback

I agree! Either that or a decentralized market.

It's annoying because it most cases in the markets the trust relies on somebody. It's either the vendor or the market usually.

You can't trust anybody out there..

Exactly! No commission to pay so cheaper product. The vendors are off the radar more as their shops aren't on display for all to see. Initially free samples or whatever to establish trust. Perfect solution.

Definitely. We are setting up on AlphaBay right now, but also doing direct sales over BitMessage.

Lets ignore the fact that vendors exit scam a lot too. I lost 10,000 to a fucking California weed dealer.


[2 Points] throwawayyfggots:

i agree aswell, Whether i get fucked by a market, or the vendor regarldess im getting fucked. Need a forum based on direct deals so people can stay up to date with the vendor and the feedback could continue to roll in.

Unfortunately, this will be great for the really well known, established vendors, and terrible for smaller sellers. Buyers will have less choice, vendors can selectively scam a hell of a lot easier, and with fewer sellers, we'll likely see higher prices too as demand continues to rise while the supply falls. This will actually move the markets farther away from the idealized "Free Market".

Private deals are not as great as everyone here is making them out to be.

Yeah, it looks like many veteran buyers & vendors are moving in that direction. It's a fairly simple cost/benefit analysis. And the explosion of scams and market downtime is tilting the scale in favor of direct deals. I won't be surprised if most current and well-established vendors are receiving most of their income through direct deals or multisig transactions a year from now. If people don't trust the markets to function as an effective arbitrator and middle-man, they will quickly cease to exist in their current form. My guess is that marketplaces will become repositories for vendor reviews, and have a minimal connection with the actual transactions.

been saying this, as I made my 1st purchase ever on DNM through BtMsg with /u/AdventureTimeSupply and that was almost a year ago...

i have always made direct deals when possible, as its seems always the markets that arent trust-able, as I usually do a decent amount of research on vendors and have missed all xi scams and thieves, but can say myself as I was surprised to see /u/_Colorado_ go... I had normal non drug related conversations with the guy, he seemed a decent human.. not sure the true story there.. but I have begun collecting Emails XMPP and BtMsg Addresses for my Favorites...

I already have Bitmessage.. and a few addresses .. I'm looking forward to online transactions without becoming physically ill from anxiety and worry about losing my shit. Really dont want to go back to street deals, haven't made one since 2011 and don't want to go back EVER

I have always agreed, though this amounts to perma-FE which everyone freaks about.

I trusted Usdank and Colorado.

And this is why we are not allowed to have nice things.
