I was wondering if sourcing is allowed. I see people looking for RCs, synthetic weed blends, benzos, gbl, somas etc.. and know of a bunch of great sources outside of SR. I am not trying to divert business from this website but when I see people charging outrageous prices for benzos or people looking for substances that are not listed on SR I would be glad to tell them where they can find what they are looking for; as long as it is not against the rules.

if you have access to them at a good price and there is a demand here, why don't you sell them here.
-
Well for starters I am not really trying to become a dealer. I just want to help people find what they are looking for - fighting the good fight so to speak.
Not to bash on sellers or anything, but seeing someone sell 1mg xanax for $3 each when it can easily be found for $0.70 each makes me want to tell people where they can find a good deal.

There are tons of shifty websites that ship from overseas that you can get them for at that price.
But there is also a level of feeling good about buying from someone whos feedback you can see, a place where an escrow system is in place, and being able to contact the seller directly.
Aswell as being US-US or EU-EU, buyers can chose, and to some paying more for that piece of mind is worth it.

I fully agree with what you are saying here. I love the way the Silk Road is run and it has become a great source for me. That being said, there are plenty of other good sources out there that are no shiftier than SR. Places that I have used for years which offer great deals and are quite professional. All I am asking is whether or not it is okay to share these sources. I am not trying to convince anyone to use them or take their business elsewhere, just help people find what they are looking for.
There are also websites such as SoS that allow people to give ratings and feedback about other sources.

Just think about the fact that you could be messing with someones business.
I get you are trying to do a noble thing, but it could also put someone out of work.
-
Hmmm. Putting someone out of business should not be anyone's concern aside from the seller that is vunerable. It's evolution. Adapt or die - but he wont.
There is a reason buyers are here. Either through inexperience or the escrow system or the 1% that are vets that are forum junkies.
He should know the answer to the question though. Ofc you can't dummy.
That being said PM me them. J/k.

I disagree with this. If someone is selling items at an uncompetitive price perhaps they should be put out of business or make their prices more competitive. That is capitalism and I fully support it.
I am not trying to be "noble." I am a fellow user that shops around for a good deal and would like others to be able to do the same. Shit, try telling someone you sell to that it wouldn't be fair of them to buy their drugs elsewhere as it would hurt your business, see how that works out for you.
Also, I had no intention of posting a list of reputable vendors - if anything that would put them more on the radar as this is quite likely being monitored. I know a few people who were posing in the "Product Request" forum and was thinking of going ahead and messaging them where they can find what they are looking for. I wasn't sure if that was allowed so I created this thread to find out what SRs stance is on sourcing.

I have a feeling that 1% is probably more like 30%+ or more, but that is just a hunch.

The quickest way to solve Fred's concern is just to get more sellers on SR marketplace as fast as possible.
I've already suggested to a couple of my closer ones that they do it. They need schooled in BTC and Tor but they are good, reliable AND reasonably priced sellers.
But LTTM is also right. SWIM has sold online before and there is a HUGE difference in quality, especially in benzos between what is manufactured at a licensed OEM plant in the US or EU and sometimes even India (in the case of Roche) is fine. BUT...and this is a big but, the ones you see these days that are sub $1.00 are all the Pakistani crap. You can buy it in bulk for about $0.07 if you know the right guy. Considering what good ones cost, the cheaper guy is actually making the biggest profit. Some of the bad ones have a much reduced dose of the active ingredient (Onax 2mg alprazolam are usually about 0.5 when tested. A lot of the others and all of the bulk diazepam are just inert ingredients, no active at all).
Why do you think Onax makes it's "2mg xanax" in a bar with 4 sections anyway? To copy the Gadors; which are best on the market.
You haven't seen those on SR, have you? Why? Because every one gets sold at a nice price elsewhere.
(disclaimer: I know of two people, not the same as above, who are going to start selling Gadors soon on SR, so you *will* see some)
A good diazepam generic, like Roche, Auperin, Mylan costs A LOT more today than it did 5 years ago. Basically double.
The so-called bars made by Onax and all the other nonsense sold on the pharmacy boards and bodybuilding boards is total junk. I say that with all certainty and sincerity. And on a forum such as SR, where a buyer can ding you off the front page with a bad review, no one can take that chance; nor should they.
The cheapest guy on the board with good product is peaceandlove. If you don't mind shipment from the UK, that's your low price guy.
If you need US->US shipping, you will pay more.
I also agree the buyers are here because of the escrow and vendor communications. When they get 100pc of fake diazepam, will the seller get paid? I think not...
Besides, the money given to Pakistan just goes to blow up others of our citizens. You don't really want your drug dollar going to blow up your countrymen, do you? :)

^ Haha okay you make a solid point. But again, I am not arguing the merits of using overseas sources vs local sources, I'm just wondering if sourcing is allowed.
Besides, it is easy to find Roche brand 1mg xanax for $0.70 that are indeed 1mg - I'm not referring to the bulk valium and sketchy manufacturers (like Onax) or anything. There are plenty of good sources out there.
"A good diazepam generic, like Roche, Auperin, Mylan costs A LOT more today than it did 5 years ago. Basically double."
If you are talking about made in the United States then yes, that is true. Roche pakistan makes good (and inexpensive) benzos that will pass a blind taste test any day, and they are waaaayyyy cheaper.
RCs are fairly scarce when it comes to variety and bulk on SR. There are a bunch of reputable vendors out there.
