Hey guys. I finally overcame my paranoia and bought some bitcoins, which im still waiting on to be transferred from seller.
And Ive decided to stop drooling over the very nice looking stuff with awesome reviews and buy something already (domestic for now)
My question is: Have you guys ever been cheated in some way even from good vendors? Like what happens usually with street dealers?
Im glad to finally be officially part of this growing anonymous family and I hope I will see you guys around here forever!

Nice to see you !
Of course you can be cheated, or get a bad quality product like everywhere else...
that's why you have to choose a well known sellor, especially for your first deal...
you should buy some small items (pdf to download..) that cost nothing, like that you will be more familiar
to the "order process", and you will get some stats !! after that, make your own choose for the first transaction,
and like you said before, better to choose a domestic shipping..
good luck and welcome !

Hi there,
Welcome to SR, and yes drooling over all the shiny stuff makes you want to jump right in and buy 8)
I would start small, you don't say what you want to buy but advice is the same regardless. So no need to say.
Find a vendor with good feedback. You should especially look at the most recent feedback, so click the vendors name and go to his main page. Look out for lot's of ppl saying "FE" or even worse feedback saying it took too long to arrive etc...
when you find one, with a product you want, check out the feedback for it. Some vendors have too many listings and don't have everything in stock... so your order could be delayed :(
Check that the vendor does not want you to FE (finalize early). if they do then find another one. If you FE then you are on your own, and you don't need that for your first buy.
never spend more than you can afford to lose. EVER :)
Start small and see how it works.
As long as you never spend anything you cannot afford to lose, and use vendors with a high rep and feedback that makes you comfortable, then you will be fine. Also staying domestic is the way to go.
take the plunge dude...

I was like you, also very paranoid in the start.
I purchased from FASTWAYS, just because he had good reviews, so should you, depending on what your looking forward to buy, do it from some one with good reviews.
And just wait.. I waited 11 days before my package came, and his estimated time was between 3-10 days.

I wouldn't download a .pdf for testing.
never download anything while using Tor.
stay safe :)

While every seller has the potential to do this, the good sellers are the ones that make it right.
