seller was very friendly in communication, just received my package this morn, took about a week and a half to the UK, vac sealed, no smell from the package at all. so what about the weed i hear you ask, well youll be glad to hear its nice, a good outdoor, earthy, hashy taste with less seeds than i expected, compressed but fluffs up really well when put through a grinder and offers a nice stone to boot, again stronger than i expected to be honest. so all in all great value green and top notch service.

I'm out of my depth here on the forum,
and not sure if I'm actually allowed to reply to this
or if it's a private message or a public post, but...
THANKS FOR THOSE KIND WORDS Professor..!
I'm here to do my best,
and if I think my best isn't
good enough,
I won't offer it...
-
Received my order to the UK in about 10 days, packaging was good, smell-proof, looks like regular mail. The weed looks good, it does have seeds, it is darker than your normal european stuff, but it also gets you very nicely stoned (and that's what we buy it for surely). The value is pretty hard to beat, just pick a few seeds out and you have some real bargain smoke.
I must also add that Revenentchild had great communication throughout the process, totally professional and was a pleasure to deal with. A big thumbs up from me :)
-
My package arrived in just over a week to the EU. Packaging was very good. When I first opened the package the weed reminded me of the Mexican Brick Weed we use to get back in the 1960's in the States. But, as I was cleaning it I was amazed at how few stems and seeds there were. The 5 gram order weighed in at 7 grams and still weighed six grams after cleaning.
The taste was strong but, not real harsh. Definitely got me more stoned than the old Mexican weed ever did.
This stuff gives you excellent bang for the buck. I'll be back for a larger order next time.
-
My order arrived after 11 days after date of sending.
Vendor was very helpful and informative.
Package was fine.
Weed is very compressed, sticky and has some seeds in it.
I have not tested yet.
-
Wow...
Thanks you guys.
I'm flattered, and quite frankly, proud as punch of myself that as a new member of Silk Road and as a brand new vendor, I was able to impress you enough to leave these shining testimonials here on the forum.
May I add that in both my (short) buying experience and in my (even shorter) selling experience here on the road over the past two months, absolutely everyone I've come into contact with so far have appeared to be honest, well mannered and sincere.
Having said that, I hereby promise never to be deceptive in any of my listings.
I will endeavour to bring you the best weed available to me at a reasonable price.
If I list something that's not entirely up to scratch, I will state that clearly.
I will try my best to give an accurate description of what's on offer so that buyers can base their decision on facts and not on ambiguous statements.
Once again, thanks for the great feedback.
I appreciate it...
RC

>:(
I am not happy so far... and Revenantchild is not making things better by calling me an asshole... I spose that being a saffer gives you the right to fly of the handle and start name-calling?
I am an SR noob, just got my Bitcoins and keen to try silkroad out... Saw that revenantchild has sativa for a decent price, so i ordered the smallest amount, first purchase. Then I got a mail asking to finalize early, so I did, then the rating thing came along and I put 3/5 because I haven't got anything yet and I got to give a rating - so 3/5 is in the middle, I clicked it.... Sue me, i'm new to SR but to call me an asshole, really tactful!
I expect the grass to arrive next week, I will give a fair critique after smoking the 'childs' wares but as for his tact, common decency, communication and patience, revenantchild gets 0/5
This asshole will learn to use SilkRoad properly and this asshole will spend his BTC elsewhere!! ;)

This sound like a miscommunication to me. When you finalize you do not have to leave a rating and give feedback. Once you click "finalize" you can simply browse away from the page by clicking on the RS logo for example.
Calling people names is a no-go though. However, I can see why revenantchild did so. I have ordered from him and also talkled to him over PM and he seems like an extremely friendly person who strives to make the customer a happy person. In order to support his credibility he wanted to maintain a 100% rating.
I have 100% so far, and want to keep it that way till at least 100 transactions.
Receiving a 3/5 has lowered his rating to 98% although he has not done anything wrong and must be incredibly disappointing if you strive for a 100% to help you setting up your business as a new vendor.
I hope you two can resolve your issue since i can vouch that revenantchild is a polite and friendly person and I am sure you, NorthernApe, are too. :)
-
I just want to mention that revenantchild is a real patient, helpful guy, with GOOD communication. He has a lot of patience with SR noobs. I give him 5/5 for communication and patience.
Its unfortunate what happened between northernape and him. Name calling is uncalled for, but I stalked SR thoroughly before doing anything, and can assure you northernape that sellers value their rating (integrity) very much, maybe thats why he freaked out. He did mention in his profile that SALE items have to be finalized early. Other suppliers require noobs (such as myself) so finalize early period. I hope you two can sort your issues out!?
I'd like to see SA grow on SR, and be known for our hospitality :)
-
Hmmm...
All I said (on my profile page) was that "some asshole" had rated me unfairly.
I didn't mention any names.
However if Northern Ape feels he is an asshole, who am I to disagree...
-
Hello to all...
There are a few who would defend revenantchild and since it was only a noob mistake I made, I was inclined to correct the matter... but the latest letter from revenantchild has my teeth clenched.
To explain to me how SR works and how ratings work would have been enough, but to threaten me! to threaten to expose me to the other vendors.... So revenantchild has my name and address, must I live in fear? Hell no! -Just like the 'old system', fear-based motivation.
revenantchild, you are conducting yourself as a thug, a rude thug and as to the matter of you not mentioning who exactly is an asshole, I knew you were referring to me... you must have known that I would read your profile, so you could care less about your customers.
Here is revenantchilds latest threat/letter (bottom) following my letter of explanation :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
revenantchild(99) subject
May I ask why you have given me a 3/5 rating..?
Are you trying to destroy my business..?
NorthernMonkey "the asshole"
I am sure you noticed that I am new to SR and to how things work, via buyer ratings... I was asked to finalize early and I did, then the option for rating came and I did not know what to do, so I made a choice there and then... what can I say, a noob is a noob is a noob.
As to your making a scene and calling me an asshole, hmmm..."He'll go far in life" 1/5 for communication.
love and light!
The Ape ;)
revenantchild(99) "re: the asshole" (latest)
Perhaps you noticed that I did not mention your name, however I could do so if you like...(threat!)
Not to mention message all other vendors advising them of your rating system(threat!). No vendor needs bad ratings, and giving a bad rating without even having the product in hand is unfair. So, decide now if you'd like your name splurged all over SR, or if you'd like to fix that shit rating and deal in a civil and well mannered way(threat!).
Seeing as you're new, let me advise you that rating are all important to vendors. It keeps them honest and easy to work with. Less than a 5/5 should only be given if your product was unsatisfactory or you feel you've been cheated in any way. Buyers check on a vendor's percentages and feedback. Less than 100% is not acceptable to me,as I deliver my product every time and follow up on consumer satisfaction. So if you want to be osteracised on this site, all you need to do is continue to rate vendors below 5/5(threat!)... Fix it please.

Make up your own minds about revenantchild.
What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you getting so worked up over some insignificant bullshit?
Ordered 5g of revenantchild's product today. Will post a review when the stuff arrives.
-
Revenantchild, your other reviews speak for themselves. Don't let Northernape bug you too much, a noob is a noob is a noob. And the fact that you strive for 100% really impresses me.
That being said you can expect an order from me as soon as my bitcoins come through!
-
All I can say is buy some Durban Poison! Package took 6 days to northern europe, is definitely overweight also!
Vendor is more than a nice guy, true to his word. I've never gotten better value for money! I will return :D!
Weed gets you nicely baked, so cheap and it beats most street level stuff here!
Jabba

I bought some weed from RevenantChild and it was lovely.
NorthernApe: Stop being a twat and fix his rating. You're the one who made the first error (even if it was unknowingly). Be a big man and put this behind you both.
-
Misunderstanding?
This shit is funny.
Of course if I was either one of the two parties it probably wouldn't be ::)
NorthernApe,
Give me a break, couldn't do a little reading before buying?
Of course not, it's overwhelming at first.
The asshole vendors hold their ratings pretty closely.
Don't worry you not the first newbie "asshole" to make this mistake.
As far as I am concerned, no one should EVER trust an SR rating!
They are too easy to keep up high.
Look here, we bullied a newbie, for doing what he thought was right.
You got my money, I didn't get my stuff.
Simple concept? No?
Did you know you could skip the rating when you were new?
Oh wait we didn't have to FE;)
Asshole vendor could have PM'ed 1st, nicely asking, "What's up?"
As a newbie understand even bad vendor get good ratings, and reviews, or have them deleted.
Revenantchild,
As a vendor I hear nothing but good thins about you.
A Pm before a public flogging would have been nice.
It's the newbies, and 1 gram scammers that will drive you nuts. ;)
Calm down, we won't ass rape you cause of one bad review.
Now a pattern of complaints in the forums may be cause for concerned.
Lesson learned for all I hope.
Guys it's just weed.

I just want to thank RC again for everything that he has done for me. Without him I probably wouldn't have been able to buy on SR. He is a really helpful, kind and humble soul. He is also very good company :)
I'm bumping this thread to try and help him a bit, because he's going through a very tough time right now, his car was hijacked, not insured, and I know he can't afford a new one. So please buy his weed in support and mention that I sent you :)
Good luck going forward, and Thank you Sir RC! :)
-
Yay, I got a karma :)
Long live Sir RC! :)

There's a long history of people buying things inexpensively in one region and then selling them at a markup in another. It's called "commerce." If RC has found a way to make some extra money bringing those of us outside SA some good weed for what is for us a very fair price, then more power to him.

Thank you Mr. Wizard.
Thank you Mr. Nerd...
Fuck you Mr. Green.
I use that tone with you as it seems to be the language you understand best.
I read the very rude PM you sent me, but decided not to dignify it with a response.
I reply to you here because I have my soldiers behind me.
Get on a plane, fly to Africa and come buy your weed for 100 Euros...
That is if you're lucky enough to get in and out of this country without getting your throat slit.
And if you do manage to get out of here with an intact throat, total up what you paid for the weed,
the price of your plane ticket, hotel fees, and time spent finding a suitable supplier,
getting it out through South African customs, and in through the customs of whatever god forsaken country has given birth to the likes of you, add it all together, divide it by the amount of weed you have, and see what you have paid in the end, as opposed to having it delivered to your doorstep - neatly packed and vacuumed, while you recline on your couch in front of the TV, contemplating the growing ball of fluff in your belly button.
I can buy perfectly good coke in this country at R500 a gram.
The average price on SR works out to R950 a gram.
No one forces me to buy it. But i do, because I love the road and because I can...
(off the vast profits I make from idiots who are dumb enough to pay my ridiculous prices)
I can buy pretty good X in this country at around R50 per pill.
The average price per pill on SR is around R85 per pill.
Again, no one forces me to buy their pills.
But I do... (because I'm not a broke ass like you )
I am certainly not forcing you to buy my weed - which incidently, is by far the most inexpensive on SR, and is by no means the worst. In fact, I rate it amongst the best.
However, Mr. Green,I am still honoured to meet you.
I have never met anyone with two assholes before.
As for Mr. Wizard and Mr. Nerd - please inbox me your addresses and I will send each of you 5g of my very special weed at no charge whatsoever...
(I can afford it, as I've become a millionaire selling weed at ridiculously high prices)

One of the best things about Silk Road is the ability to purchase authentic strains direct from the source, I much prefer my money to go there than to some local reseller that marks it up to local rates.

Wow! I just browsed the threads mentioning Revenantchild and I can't believe that people would find fault with him! The first idiot not realizing that he shouldn't have left awful feedback and then going nuts over the "threats" and then this other idiot, Mr. Green, complaining about basic business without realizing that things simply cost different amounts across the world! Christ, he fucking tells you that he gets his bud cheap on his profile. If you had bothered to read it you wouldn't be surprised! SIMPLE economics, man! If you think he has it so good, why don't YOU go to South Africa and start selling.
I am definitely going to be making a purchase from this guy. He deserves my money.
-
lol Bladen - Watch out..!
Northern Monkey goes ape-shit when you call him "names" (I think he must go ape-shit quite often)
As for Mr. Green - he's probably green with envy because he can't just pick up weed in the streets for nothing and sell it at obscene profits here on SR (like i do)
Fact is, I buy my weed (the best DP is actually more expensive than one may think, as there are not many growers here that know how to do it properly) and i mark it up by 100%
That is the reason my prices change every now and again. If I get weed cheaper - my price drops accordingly.
However, sometimes i pay top dollar and the weed is not as good as it should be, in which case my markup is much less as my recent 2nd grade listings proved. Even with my 100% markup (which does not include materials used and postage) my prices are still the most inexpensive on SR - especially for a legendary strain...
Their bad ratings have descended into the depths of obscurity since those early days - swamped by five star ratings and the excellent support of guys like you who have supported me along this wonderful road, and now 8 months later i still stand with my head held high and my integrity intact with an overall rating of 99%
Thanks guys - I am nothing without my customers...

Gentleman and scholar.
Very dedicated and punctual. Can sense that he takes great pride in his work. This guy restored all my faith in humanity.
He is the main pillar which supports SR's integrity. Fucking outstanding. Well deserved feedback. Thanks RC
