Why do some forum members put buyer stats in their sig? You cannot order anything directly off the forum and it can easily be mimicked. The only reason I can think of is to inflate ones internet ego. Here are my buyer stats
Total transactions: 5
Total spent: $6,182,305,734.42
Refund rate: 0%
Auto-finalize rate: 0%

Must really bother you if you had to start a thread about it. I can't imagine what other pet peeves you have

You've almost spent as much as the USA's war on drugs this past year
-
So we know how much experience they have on the road and so new vendors know if they would be a good candidate for giving a sample to.
-
Attention whores.
And that is the final answer ladies and gents.

Your high stats attracted virwex.com scam-man.

OH MY GOD ! These virwex prices are so good I'm gonna buy 100 BTC right away !!!

It's meaningless. Not sure why people do it as in this anonymouse world where anything can be a scam, it means nothing!
But, it also gives the polite man and his cop buddies a good way to find out who's worth the effort to bust!

The virwex guy is our very own horseman of the apocalypse. He weeds out the weak among us, and steals all their BTC.

Hi, guys ;D
Haters gonna hate much?
I post my stats in my signature so vendors have some idea of my track record when I leave reviews, inquire about potential purchases, or just shoot the shit.
Yes, it can be faked, but vendors will see your real stats once you place an order with them. If they see you faked your stats, they won't be very likely to deal with you.
Some newer vendors give out free sample to get reviews and generate a buzz. If people see that a person has a history they are more likely to offer them samples and/or take their reviews as meaningful.
-
I think it is a pride thing. Some people are proud of their stats..... who really cares what is in somebody Else's sig?
-
Stop posting that money shit man, IT makes me dizzy, QuiF.
-
For new vendors and samples and to show off, which IMHO is completely fine.
It's cool, too. Buying drugs and being able to anonymously show everyone how much you spend on it 8)

That's how I pretty much feel about it.
I'm sorry, OP, since it bothers you sooo much, let me change my signature, just for you...right.
-
I have never once mentioned that it bothered me. Just me being curious and sharing my thoughts.
-
oh, I was just being sarcastic lol.
But seriously, I just do it so others can have a good idea of my credibility, and kinda a proud thing to be like "hey look i have no refunds or auto-finalization's!"
I don't see why I shouldn't, I guess.
