Profile seems very good apart from a lack of PGP.
I'm interested in making an order from this seller, but as it's a custom order, it'd need to be finalised early. Of course, I'm against it, you guys are against it, Silk Road is against it. However, with other sellers, even 2 first time sellers (from Canada) I placed orders with FE, and they were fine and are now extremely reputable sellers.
Should I just do it, at huge risk, or should I attempt to negotiate that for the first deal it's not Finalise Early (so that the vendor can at least prove himself to myself and/ or the community?
Advise guys...
But that White Fire Kush looks interesting... White Russian is high in THC immediately so would expect some strong results.
-
No matter how the weed looks i wouldn't FE. It's not worth it, there is no reason you should have to especially if he's a new seller. Plus he has no PGP key? come on do you really have to ask? Wait it out, there are plenty of other vendors.
-
He does appear to have nice strains, but no pgp is a dealbreaker.
and why does a custom order need to be FE? i don't see that anywhere on the sellers page.
-
I would consider this his review thread.
I don't see a request for FE.
It's his 1st day, not having a PGP key is normal for newbies.
Some vendors refuse to use it.
I'll ask too ;)

Hey guys, snixed here.
I've never really taken a notice to the forums but wiz msg'd me and told me about this thread and had a few questions/concerns and suggested I just respond in this thread.
Why no PGP?
I have a PGP key, I've just never used it or taken the time to learn it. I normally just use privnote.com. Is PGP necessary on here? I can post it and learn it real quick if necessary. I want everyone to be happy and not have to worry about their privacy.
Do I require FE?
If you are a well known member with acceptable transaction history/buying stats and are ordering a non-custom listing then I normally won't ask for FE. So as long as you aren't a noob and are ordering a regular listing you should be fine.
Why do I sometimes ask for FE?
One example would be if a user wants a custom listing for a pound. I can't have $3k sitting in escrow and keep my business going. I would have to wait for it to clear in order to keep on selling. But rarely will I ever ask for a full FE, half is normally fine. And as stated above, most custom listings. If its just for an ounce I normally ask for FE just because I don't like selling that little of an amount and it messes up my quantity. I'm not trying to sell less than what I have listed so in order for it to be worth having my product/money on hold I ask that.
Another example would be if its a new member or if I don't like your buying stats. I've never had to do a dispute on SR and hopefully never have to. I don't know what the process is like. If its a noob and he orders a HP and then simply disputes it saying I sent him fake items or the wrong item does he just automatically win? I can't afford to lose such a high amount of product/money. If I was just selling 1/8ths it would be one thing but I'm not.
In short: On custom listings and members with little transaction history.

PGP is the standard on here. I consider it necessary, but others may be open to privnote.

Good to see you reply, i guess you didn't get my message. SR went down whilst i was sending it, and i didn't know if it went through or not.
Privnote isn't enough, learn PGP and use it. It isn't that difficult, it just takes a little time to figure out. If you need any help message pine. =D
You should get involved in the forum, especially since you're new. The forum is a great opportunity for you make friends/customers. <3
It's good to hear you don't require FE, now you just need to get a PGP key. I'll probably be checking you out in a week or two. ;)
-
Thanks guys, and thanks snixed.
Seems positive doesn't it? Everything seems fair enough, just wanted some advice from the guys!
Think I'll probably push for the 2oz per month to be totally honest. It's not that I don't trust you, but a friend is also interested so may as well go for it as it's available.
Apparently I'm going to be sent a free sample, that should be delicious but I'm already very satisfied with the vendor overall.
-
Guys be nice to the new vendors, and some of them will be nice back.
I nicely ask/informed him about PGP.
You all had to go through the pain in the ass it is.
Hopefully he learns it quickly.
I can't/won't deal without PGP.
Bill47,
Good for you, please report back;)

Glad to see this thread I have been talking with this vendor about placing an order. I would like to see hear about more people using him as there vendor. Hands down the guy has the best and right prices. Sorry to say it but 1000 a Q is ridiculous for cali greens. I have taken many trips to med states and pounds usually sell for 14-22 hunderd dollars I understand mark up and supply demand etc... but 1600 a half and 3000 a pound are right on when it comes to pricing... thats still very profitable. to each there own. I can say snixed hasnt been pushy or anything in our talks... so far Id say things are progressing and I will likely be making the leap of faith and grabbing a few smaller things to build trust with in the next couple weeks... Im just as new here as him and he has explained a lot about how the system works and etc to this noob
-
Interesting ;)
-
Well he hasn't responded to my recent messages that have been read, and has now taken down his 2 ounce listing, since me telling him I'd probably do the 2O order to stay within escrow.
I'm STILL yet to find a good, reliable cannabis vendor... I wanted snixed to be my go-to person for all future stuff as he seems honest about his business. I was also prepared to pay for the 2O every time rather than him do it custom for me, so don't know what's going on.
Would love to go ahead with our order as discussed.

Waiting......
This could stop before it starts.;)
Not a very good start if you ask me.
Your 6 hours behind on a commitment, you made.
Ok I can understand some delays, but 6 hours?????????
When you hit 12 I start to scream.
Better see BTC in my account by morning.
This sucks as another vendor is now waiting, thanks. ::)
For now, I'd stay away, until , I report back otherwise.
6 more hours ........
Son of a bitch, if I seem pissed I am.

I hope you didn't send him a moneypak code.
I've been burned before on the moneypaks and him putting a listing up selling btc is big red flag to me.
Plus the only reason I can think of to pull his 2 oz. listing is to make sure he gets a larger amount.
-
now he is offering $800 in btc for a 700$ moneypak?
That is some very appealing bait.
I'd stay away.

Exactly, the fact that he isn't coming here to save his ass doesn't help much either. Give him some time though maybe he'll come through. I highly doubt that though, too many things aren't adding up.
-
My ass is starting to hurt.
Yep he got my number, and no money just excuses.
DO NOT buy from this vendor.
I'm going to check my MP but I fear the worst.
Too many excuses.
Snized in 3 hours I start I posting scam alerts until I find my money.
MP suck. I'll never deal with them again.
Either way this post should stay on top, to warn others.
-
SCAM!!!!
MP money is gone....

SCAM!!!!
MP money is gone....
How much?

Man Im gonna start a legit MP - Bitcoin Setup with a standard $25 fee no matter what the amount. This mp shit is ridiculous
-
Well I'm not too impressed with Moneypak service.
At 8:02 AM they told me the money was there.
I went to move it, 30 minutes later it was gone.
Called MP, took over 40 minutes to get somebody online.
Then they tell me it moved last night.
Do you think they admit, they screwed up? No......
Not having a web page to access you balance is just plain stupid.
I never waited so long on the phone for them.
So either Snixed is telling the true, or I'm scammed.
As far as details, you have no need to know, just protect yourself.
Be happy if it's a scam, we found it fast.
I'm leaning/hoping towards a foul up in the system.
-
I hope you are right unwiz I hope it is just a mix up that can be fixed
-
Wow so many replies, definitely give him a chance to redeem himself guys!
If you're a scammer - what's the problem with only offering the larger amounts? Answer - you won't get as many customers as we won't afford it.
I believed the same reason for listing removal - he didn't even respond to that message.
So that's now 3 read messages, over different days, but not responded to. Approach with caution.
I also had a very good read of the Seller's Contract and Seller's Guide recently... amazing how many people break the rules.

fuck this snixed guy. He's a scammer at best, LE at worst.
-
Hasn't responded to messages
Cause he hasn't bother to read them.
I have reported him to SR staff.
But with Moneypaks there is nothing they can do.
Looks like the old FE scam in a new form.
SR Adimn is fast ;)
No more vendor.......

Credits to the people who called him out.
Once again should have known better. :'(
He will be back in another form.
The Moneypak people suck.
Like I said they told me at 1st the mosey was there.
Dealing with them has been one Bullshit thing after another.
I can't say enough good stuff about SR Admin who handled it very quickly.
-
I gave him money mp and he had good comunacation and in the end of a few hours he gave a little bit more then what i payed for i think everyone thought the worst to fast
-
Wow, good for you.
1 post wonder.
I'm still waiting.......
Pay me my BTC.
Oh and your vendor account is on hold. ;D
-
ok doesn't really matter he payed me ;D
-
ok doesn't really matter he payed me ;D
That is a good thing.
I really hope you are correct, but nothing I have seen in the last 24 hours, has impressed me.
No replies, nothing.
I don't think SR held his account just on my word.
They were honest about waiting for others to complain.
All I know is if you screw me snixed, you might as well get another account.
If your correct and it's just a mix up. Fine make good, and I apologize.
No news, is bad news.
You would have made more by doing an honest business.
