In all seriousness, I checked it out and it was as if SR went back to the 80s. I was horrified.

I agree. But I'm still going to stick with SR and stay away from BMR.

Are there any other marketplaces around?

I am sure there are. But SR is the only one that has any credibility IMHO. Not saying you won't find a leg vendor at other sites. But you risk getting ripped off.

Links in hidden sites will take you to places you don't want to go.

While it is very very hard and expensive near and impossible to track use of hidden services they are not infallible. You still have to be careful of where you go and what you do.

I took a peek and came right back to SR. Haven't had a bad order yet. I've heard mostly bad about BMR so far.

SR destroyed all these type of sites over the last 2 years and any one who still uses these kind of sites needs their fucking heads testing!

SR NO 1

You're nuts making a statement like that, SR could easily be challenged.
All it would take is a sysadmin, a web-developer and someone that could wash the money. Not that hard really if you know what you are doing.

I think we have a great future ahead of us in terms of black markets here on the Onion network, it's just a matter of time.
As soon as people start believing that these kinds of sites can be set up without risking their asses, things will develop quickly.
Until then, I'm not complaining much about SR except from the occasional downtime and this ridiculously ineffective anti-spam technique.

do you think that another site will come about but under cut sr thats what I think will happen and the 2 sites will be at war for ever, there will only be 2 main contenders though sr and who ever else pops up there will be others but no where near the same scale.

I discovered sr and bmr at the same time in summer and chose to stick with sr. I placed one very small order on bmr and received it without any problems though

I too discovered SR and BMR pretty much simultaneously..registered at both. .looked around..turned away from BMR and walked away as quickly as possible. No bad experiences there or anything, just feels.....dirty....or something.

I think they do but someone mentioned the forum there is full of scamers. From what I hear it is very different.

I didn't stay too long there to find out.

Yeah, BMR is nowhere as good as SR, but as big of a market as SR is, in the event that SR is taken down or falls, others will come in to fill the void.

True. I've heard from a few friends who use it that it's much better than it used to be. They've made a few successful orders. I still reckon its a hive of scammers though, at least they have escrow. :/

I have some experience from BMR and everything worked as expected.
But it looks that BMR lacks popularity and is infected with numerous scammers, maybe because it is cheaper to become vendor in BMR.
But the site works if u always stay in escrow and pay attention what vendor u use.

BMR Forum: http://fec33nz6mhzd54zj.onion/

I have a BMR account as a backup to SR when SR is down. But there is no traffic there and I get no orders.

I like the system they have and the site is fast (no traffic).

Buying was 50/50 scammers for me.

Im gonna stick with silkroad. Like how the hell does someone think they are gonna ship me a ak47 that doesnt need reassembling? bmr looks sketchy as hell. At least silkroad looks like a site that wasnt put together by someone writing basic script. ive never ordered from there so i cant backup my claim but i suggest people stay away from there.

It's not all that bad. It's simply a necessary alternative.
Try to think of it as that sketchy, sorta scummy dealer you first started buying really seedy weed from (probably named Tony). Sometimes your good dealer is out of town and you have to reluctantly settle for Tony.
Tony probably isn't too bad a guy. Sure, he'll want you to hang with him and play GTA on his ps2, but overall its better to know a Tony than not know a Tony.

So hey. Here's to BMR and Tony. Cheers.

I went to BMR once, and I haven't found a reason to take the leap of faith. It looks semi-legit, but I haven't found the userbase of SR that gained my trust. Some day, I may hop over to BMR though. For now SR is great and all, but it's expensive as shit with a lot of things, but fortunately I have found local sources for everything and don't have to rely on it as much.

Except JWH. Man I need SR for spice.

I kind of like the sketchiness of BMR, if SR goes down for a long period of time again I wouldn't hesitate to go over there. It could definitely use some reformatting though.
Title: Re: I wonder if BMR is a better site nowdays
Post by: financeguy on January 27, 2013, 01:41 pm
I supose there are a number of good vendors, but there seems to be  lot of scamming. At least it is unregulated.

I learned about it at the same time as SR.  I love the Road of course but I think there always has to be more than one market.  But for sure, BMR was just lame.  I know there are probably some good vendors there but for now my BTC is with SR.

 Likewise, I long for a market for other than drugs; I appreciate and understand the wise separation of marketplaces for drugs and guns ie the Armory.   I support the Second Amendment and see it getting all stripped down...Fucked up world its all upside down.  Uh oh politics talk I'm outta here..

It's good there's more than just SR out there. Good for competition, good just in case this place disappears some day. But SR has everything I would ever need and more. Only thing that BMR has that we don't is guns, which I don't need  :)

I just noticed a site called PotCo on the hidden wiki, looks like it hasn't been updated in forever though.  Anyone have any experience with them? 

I agree with the others that competition is healthy.  The more amount of markets there are that are trying to get our business, the better.  That means better deals for the consumer.
