Title: Lots of vendors with no listing or in stealth mode
Post by: rippo on June 22, 2012, 04:19 pm
Yay! my first post!  ;D

I'm pretty new to SR, it's been a couple of months and I just made a 6  transactions. I don't know if anyone noticed the same, but I see a lot of vendors that usually offer hash/weed that are either in stealth mode or with no active listings. I'm wondering if something is happening or maybe it's just summer time or whatever?

They usually do this when they have a large amount of orders. By removing their listings, it allows them to catch up with current orders without simultaneously getting flooded with additional orders.

I've seen this a bit with cannabis vendors mostly, since a good majority of buyers are looking for cannabis compared to heroin.

Also if a vendor doesn't log in for 2 days then Silk Road sets them to "On Holiday".  A lot of vendors have day jobs and can't log in that often, they only connect once or twice a week to do orders.

thanks for the clarifications!

I just saw pretty much all the EU vendors I bookmarked(the most respected ones according to rank and forum reviews)  going stealth or with no listings... and I was like.. wtf is happening here?!  :P
