Been waiting 12 days for my order. Received a reply today saying that he's behind with orders so I'll wait and see. I did not FE so I won't be giving him a single cent if the item doesn't arrive.

after watching them start selling bitcoins and listing very high priced listing and dropping prices on lower listings it does kind of look like he could be gearing up for a big scam, this is just my speculation though.

EDIT:
My apologies SR citizens.  I incorrectly assumed that PureO and pureogkush were part of the same outfit.  That is incorrect.  My post below and the reviews I have written are based on my experience with PureO.  While PureO has, in my experience, always been an excellent vendor, I have no information whatsoever, good or bad, on pureogkush.  Sorry for the confusion.

RUMOURS OF THIS VENDOR TURNING ROGUE.  YOU ARE WARNED.


Hmmm...

Unfortunately, the nature of Silk Road does not lend itself well to attribution.  The post above could as easily be a competing vendor looking to stir up trouble and steer more business his way, as it could be an honest attempt to warn the Silk Road community of a threat.  I can only speak from my own personal experience.  Having placed two orders with PureO (Brad), I have not had any problems.  Here is a link to my reviews if you want to know my honest experience:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=24898.msg324475#msg324475

From my experience, this vendor has been great to work with.  My impression of PureOBrad has been that he's pretty busy in general, but tries to accommodate his customers in every reasonable way.  Who's to say that if authorities caught up with him he wouldn't give up his own mother to avoid jail time, for that matter I might too, but assuming nothing dramatic has happened, I tend to believe that all customers with reasonable expectations will eventually be satisfied.

I have an existing order that I recently placed with this vendor.  As before, I will post a review after all is said and done.  Additionally, I'll update this post with some more information as it comes my way.  Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.

Be safe everyone.

cut the guy some slack, he is no scammer!

i have had 5 or 6 succesfull orders, all overweight all well packaged, and he has access to some of the finest varietys of hash on silk road.

that being said his orders are slow to arrive, some would say too slow for uk to uk.

i did try his crack and although it was missed off the seperate orders i ordered at the same time, and came a week later, it did still arrive. it was only a test product and was average crack. his next batch is apparantly alot better.

i do however have 3 x outstanding smallish hash orders with him that have set off the auto messages from SR as they only have a few days left till needing to be finalised,

i read also his father past away. he also did one thing that worried me though which was he added for people to FE early this month as a one off. Never a good sign and i did not do it, although i have FE;d for him in the past. He was also selling BTC on here recently at good rates and all sales went smoothly as far as i can tell

what im basically saying is that the bloke needs abit of time and patience. i have no doubt we will all get our product or a refund. Anyone with orders outstanding i suggest we all wait another week before we do anything else as i honestly believe he is an honest vendor just having some problems that he will fix asap.

Any word on this guy?Anyone hear from him?
Title: Re: VENDOR ALERT - *** pureogkush ***
Post by: breaks99 on October 20, 2012, 05:14 pm
I am too waiting on coins from him, having had succesful transactions previously and due to his current probs am trying to not get too worried by the delay but i do think that Smoemaker is making the whole thing worse by not reading or replying to messages. All this fuss could be quite easily calmed down if one of them would just explain the situation!

Luckily my amoun is quite small compared to some but i wont take being ripped off lightly, come monday if still no word from either then the shits gonna hit the fan!!

Vendors listings now taken down? Inactivity or what?

I found his btc service excellent, shame he mightve turned rogue?

FOR THE RECORD******  PureO AND pureogkush are in NOT the same vendor nor are we associated with each other in any way. ******

As I stated on the Vendors Forum-  It suck when another vendor comes along and starts an account name that *might* be a spin off yours and then slacks off or is accused of going rogue.

Thanks to everyone who brought this post to our  attention and icanhazgoodtime who has vigorously defended our name and reputation!

you make your first SR transaction a 500gbp cash for btc sale?

jesus man, sorry to be harsh but wheres the logic. why not try 50, or 100 first. Also get a smart phone, get barclays ping it app, go block chain info and make a wallet. that seems only way to get btc safe and reasonable priced in uk at mo unless others know of better?

p.s - looking at his feedbank recent deliverys are still being made, id give this chap 7 days if possible if youve been waiting over 2 weeks (nearly 3 now) like me (after many succesfull and very nice orders too i might add)

I've been waiting about 2 weeks for a gram of hash which didn't turn up. SR should be resolving it in about a day. I've been really polite and friendly to the seller but so far I've been ignored. He's now gone into stealth mode.

I once put in an order with pureogkush. After 2 weeks he hadn't dispatched it yet. Mailed him and he said he was behind and he does ship every order eventually.

Few days later he cancelled the order. I asked why and he said he just had far too many orders to process.

I didn't redo the order but he sent me a gram of hash for free to say sorry.

My view is that he is a genuine guy but does not manage the workload well at times.

Bit of a diff situation going on with the people who have ordered Bitcoins from him, more info on this thread - http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=46947.75

Think its all tied in together tho!

Anyone got their orders? I been waiting 2 weeks and put in for 100% refund in the resolution centre after pureog did not respond to my message
Title: Re: VENDOR ALERT - *** pureogkush ***
Post by: ๖ۣۜEℓємєηт on October 25, 2012, 05:37 pm
also waiting
Title: Re: VENDOR ALERT - *** pureogkush ***
Post by: mc on October 25, 2012, 07:11 pm
Yep
Been waiting 2 weeks for 3 small lumps of hash. Thats 3 seperate orders now in resolution for 100% refund. I only have 10 orders with no Auto Finalize and no refunds. This will fuck my stats right up so I am very pissed off. That and I want a smoke. I really hope he pulls through
Title: Re: VENDOR ALERT - *** pureogkush ***
Post by: mazzarmazzar on October 25, 2012, 07:46 pm
MC yeah that sucks I know SR admins in the past have wiped refund % off stats when loads of people have been scammed so if there is enough people in the forums talking about him scamming you send them a link to the thread and they may help out.

Yeah I thought it was a risk ordering just wanted to try 1 of the hashes he sold.
Title: Re: VENDOR ALERT - *** pureogkush ***

Same thing here, 2 small orders in resolution ............
Title: Re: VENDOR ALERT - *** pureogkush ***
Post by: arozue on October 25, 2012, 09:30 pm
interesting. I'm also waiting on two orders. I'm just three days away from auto-finalise. messaged a few days back - no answer (although I can't log in at the moment!). Been here for nearly a year and this would be my first order not to arrive! I guess I'll be hitting the resolve button for the first time!
Title: Re: VENDOR ALERT - *** pureogkush ***
Post by: mazzarmazzar on October 25, 2012, 09:37 pm
Yeah this is my first time having to chase up a refund
Title: Re: VENDOR ALERT - *** pureogkush ***
Post by: mc on October 26, 2012, 12:01 am
We need to do what mazzarmazzar suggests.
All report him to admin, directing them here and to the other thread. That way they should be favourable to us. Come on people, take it to resolution
