Weedmanuk SR intro http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/76e39b92f0
Hi I have been registered as a vendor on SR for 18 days and have listings up for a while now.(i also have quite a fans) but sadly to date I have not had any luck in attracting purchasers, I understand it is not going to happen straight away and completely understand why ! However someone suggested to me that I provide samples of my product to prove myself, at first I didnt feel I needed to do that as I know all is good from me, but as things still aint moving I,m willing to give it a try I am thinking of doing say 50x .5g for free as a sign of me being a pucker vendor. I wont be doing this for a good few days yet but I need a little advise on how I would do this on SR without involving costs for the purchaser eg SR's fees !! I need to do it through SR to enable me to receive feedback from my free samples I would also stipulate that buyers must have 5x good feedback stats as a buyer and your are only entitled to 1 freebie per customer.
Can anyone advise how I set this up on SR to get things moving. Many Thanks.......

Are you suggesting that you want to send out 50 - .5g samples? To me that seems like a ton of free shwag to give out, you are going to get a lot of bottom feeders, sample suckers attached onto this and won't leave any honest feedback.
I think 10x .5g samples is more than enough to send out to reliable reviewers. Hell I think most people wouldn't mind paying a couple bucks for their sample, you can check the reliable reviewer thread and see the trusted members. I think it's a good thing to do, get your name out, shows people you have good product and that you want to get your name out there.
I also can't comment enough on the look and feel of a vendors account/professionalism. If I am going to buy from a vendor I want to go to their account page, and get a feel of someone who at least understands how to write a sentence, has clear guidelines on what they are about and what they sell, and what to expect by buying from this vendor. I want the page to be nice and not messy. Say what needs to be said, make some nice bold claims and give a little umph to your page. After that you can let your reviews start trickling in the forums, the users who are looking for a good vendor will find the reviews on the forum, go check out your page and hopefully will be impressed with what they see and will place an order. Don't deal with the scum who just want samples, be an honest and reliable vendor, get your word out. and make your name SHINE.
I have good faith in most new vendors, please don't make too many mistakes or be too trusting right away, you will have to give a little to reap what you sow later on. So plant the seeds, watch it grow, and get ready to start a good customer base.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was a great SR vendor.
Only time will tell.
Do us proud.

Cheers Marlon wise words indeed ! I know the problems associated with bottom feeders, however as my intention is not to give to anyone with less than 5 good buyer stats. I am hoping this will minimise the problem and overall will get a good bunch of like minded folk giving honest feedback..
By the way I'm guessing you can review buyers stats when they commit to buy as I havent had any sells yet im slightly unsure but guess thats how it works :) Well thats the plan any constructive criticism welcome.
Thank you.

I'd happily take a 0.5g sample for review purposes. I'm looking for regular weed supplier and most IRL contacts have been most unreliable or a big distance away. I'd do a review based on quality, service, packaging, turn around,etc and my buyer stats are up to scratch. I always purchase bulk so if quality,etc is up to scratch I'd be after oz listings rather than 3.5g listings if these are viable?
Was looking to use mr.cronk for my bulk purchases but if you're offering samples and you're a SR newbie I believe everyone needs to start somewhere and would be willing to give you a shot :)
There's many uk domestic weed/hash vendors who do a good job and offer great prices, but there's a massive market for bulk domestic vendors. I dream a vendor offers 9bar listings on good quality green, would save me a lot of petrol!

Hi kssr,
Im currently waiting for a decent supply to be ready (amount) then I will be doing freebies for review and there will be bigger deals available prob half oz and 1 oz, As i only have small amounts available at present I cannot do the larger deals !! But hopefully in a few days that will all change.
Thanks :)

Good luck buddy.
I noticed your Hindu Kush and White Widow listings, look good and realistically priced. I already have a few orders in motion otherwise I would be giving it a try. Will deffo keep my eye out though.
I hate ordering 1g at a time but with you being new and all, it'll probably be the best way to attract your first buyers.
