Hi,
I found a vendor that has some inventory I want but I have a question. Usually I like to see a vendor around at least a few months 5/5 rating and some reviews from buyers with high stats so I can feel comfortable they're not shill reviews/buyers.
Now this vendor has 5/5 rating, been on SR for 8 months and completed 34 transactions with 19 positive reviews. Trouble is the most recent review is 3 months old and all the stats are hidden (old system). Would you feel comfortable ordering?
Any ideas appreciated.

I personally only buy from vendors who have both large amounts of transactions, positive reviews, AND numerous recent comments (preferably that same day).
I mean, it could be fine. But why not find someone who has all three.
Also, I'll immediately turn down any vendor who requires ANYONE to FE, even newbies.

Probably, especially if they had what I wanted at the right price. I would search the entire forum for his name first though. If you don't find anything negative, it might work out OK. I've done it without problems (not guaranteeing that you will be OK).
Read through all the reviews and make sure they're not a bunch of FE's. If nothing seems fishy about them, then go with your gut. My instinct has never been wrong here, although I've chosen to disregard it a couple of time. I was fortunate enough to have those orders cancelled though.
I like the old feedback system better personally.
EDIT: If you're buying something like pills, you may find several vendors that have large gaps in their vending stats. If it were weed, I wouldn't buy from them. But there are a lot of good weed vendors. There aren't a ton of good adderall venders though ;D

Yeah they sells pills and H so maybe the pill supply is hit/miss.
They have what I need and at a good price (40% lower than anyone else) but hasn't been active in 3 months. What do they say if it's too good to be true.......
Most of the reviews are for H with a few mentions of FE. I never FE and vendor page doesn't suggest it either.

Exactly. The pill vendors sell their supply, disappear for a while and then come back. It sucks for them because it causes them to fall down in the rankings for not generating sales.
One thing though: please be careful with anyone claiming to sell H here. H vendors are the ones I've seen the most scam complaints about; I'm not sure if they are scammers or if they're just dealing with a bunch of crazy junkies (probably a little of both). Like I said, trust your gut and don't talk yourself into making a dumb choice.
If they ask you to FE, just say no. They should cancel your order. That's the first sime of a scammer; it'll say nothing on their page about FE, but you'll get an email from them asking you politely if you wouldn't mind FE'ing. Don't fall for that.
