My first transaction on SR today, $1000.
Nothing illegal particularly, just so very nervous I'm about to lose a grand.
I did my homework and I've lurked these forums for a long time.
Now the wait, and hope that I'm as cautious as I like to think I am.
I suppose most people feel like they're going to chew their nails off the first time?

DON'T FE mate, not on a grand - if they ask you to just tell them to cancel it. if it were me i would have started small, built some decent buyers stats then go for the big haul.
i shat myself on my first purchase, but it was only a hundred quid, so if it came to it it weren't much of a loss
welcome BTW :)

I remember my first order from SR. I had been a member of SR for 6 months or so already doing endless research and calculating risks.. Just for a gram of Ivory's MDMA lol, I shit myself for a couple days waiting for it to arrive, but when it did it was the most satisfying feeling, there really isnt a feeling quite like it! haha.
But as you say you ordered something that wasn't illegal, it should be fine getting to you. :) don't FE ether!

I bought a £5 mushroom on my first transaction
why would you risk that much

Yeah, why spend that much without testing the waters first? Run a few gramns of weed through and make sure your local post office is dumb as the rest.
My first time was totally nerve racking. I use a PO Box, and I kept circling the PO looking for squad cars lol. Of course nothing happened. I picked up my box, went home, and got high as fuck.
The other scary time was when a box was too big for my PO box so I got the little slip to take to the customer service desk for pickup. Of course that is no big deal, but again very nerous the first time it happened.
The 60 year old PO worker went and got my box, and before handing to me, he tapped the box's return address and said, "You ever been there?"
I must have lost all my color and prepared for the worst."Uh, no."
"Too bad," he said, "must be a lot warmer there than it is here."
Old coot was just making smalltalk and about gave me a heartattack in the process.

Why did I spend $1000?
I won't say my logic is rational or wise in any shape or form, but it's just my nature to dive into something head first. There's only so many months of reading you can do before you say, "fuck it, I'm going to do it."
I figure, if all goes well, very awesome *turns into a giddy high school girl*
If not, I've lost money, sucks, but I keep money in the bank and I will take it as a lesson learned the hard way
