Title: Catch 22?
Post by: yossarian1042 on June 30, 2013, 10:53 pm
From what I have been reading on the forum, I am beginning to see that if you are a noob with 0 stats, the vendors will not sell to you.  And if the vendors won't do business with you, you will never get those stats above 0..CATCH 22....Seems the only exception is that some vendors might do business IF the noob FEs.  BUT I have seen over and over the there are 2 main rules about FE  1....NEVER FE and 2. NEVER NEVER FE!  So how is it possible to do some business on here?  Anybody want to address this?  Thanks!

Well there are a a few vendors that don't require those with low stats to FE.

Check out the other sections for stuff to buy. You're be more likely to find smaller things that the vendors are willing to sell to new buyers. And if you buy digital goods you don't even need to wait for shipping to get your stats up. :)

Mainly, people that sell in the larger amounts don't deal with new people.  There are tons of reputable vendors who welcome newcomers happily.  Depending on what you are looking for, you might have to make alot of small transactions before you do a big transaction with a vendor that wants more experienced people.  Did anyone mention to you not to FE???? lol.

As a new buyer just buy small listings, as a vendor I appreciate it when a new buyer messages me first especially for larger listings. Whatever you do don't FE since you lose all your protection if you do.

What product are you looking for that is not available without FE?  I honestly haven't seen a single thing yet that was limited to FE vendors for noobs.

This is a compelte fabrication. I have honestly ever read the words(or a similar phrase) "No New Buyers" Like twice on silk road in general.

If you really want stats then buy digital goods like ebooks or pornsite rips if you're having THAT much trouble.

I feel as though once vendor said this and then you made this thread because you really wanted what that vendor was selling.

Just shop around, you will find one that does sell to noobs sooner or later. Might not be the best bargains on the road, but then I hear alot of them are too good to be true

Yossarian1042, First off, I totally love the name reference and the fact that this post is named Catch 22! Read the book for college and love the movie too.

Next, I'm a vendor and have been reading posts of alot of vendors making people FE and even further making threats to their buyers when they don't do exactly what they want. It's rediculous and bad for the entire SR community. Anyways I am a vendor that will gladly serve you without these issues. Might not have the exact drug you're wanting but I am here to serve ya. I'm sure there are other vendors like me who will be happy to get you what you need. It just seems like some of the vendors have lost touch. Good luck! ;)

Have used mdpro several times without a hitch. Was my first buy with zero stats, i have even traded mp for btc with him through pm, and was put into my account within fifteen minutes after he was online and verified the numbers. Also, multiple transactions with him with fast delivery and excellent stats. Try pm'ing him and use btc to buy from him as well if he has what you are looking for. Hope this helps

Thanks to all that replied, especially The Fun Guy!  I have been studying the forums quite diligently for some time now and see that I will be able to obtain what I am looking for when my SR wallet gets funded.  And NO WAY will I EVER FE.  It's foolish and reckless and makes no sense at all.  Thanks again folks!

I don't recall ever having to FE when I was new or having a problem ordering from ppl. I maybe had 1 order cancelled.

I FE'd once.

Got scammed once too. There are good vendors out there that don't require FE.

No.....I have been searching the vendors quite diligently and have found that MOST of the vendors post rules that they won't sell to individuals or require FE from those with less than a certain number of transactions or those that have spent less than a certain amount of money or both.  I didn't make my OP because I was turned down by a vendor who had the goodies that I "really wanted".  I am not an 18 year old adolescent that requires immediate gratification.  I am in no hurry and will continue to do my due diligence until I have compiled my list of vendors that will meet my needs.  I do not appreciate that you have erroneously stated that my OP was a "fabrication"!   Enjoy your weed and try not to post when you are so baked!  Makes you look silly! ;)

I didn't have this problem, and I've bought from trusted vendors without having to FE. Maybe you just happen to find all the vendors that have this rule :D
