I don't really trust any of the markets out there right now. I'd rather just do business directly with a seller. Any sellers up for this? I think as long as I tumble my coins, and use PGP, both me and the seller will be safe.
Is there a list of vendors who will do business directly through email/bitcoin (outside a market)?

Check your vendors out on safeorscam.com.
We've been doing this for a long time, for many of us Silk Road was just a blip on our screens. What most people do is comb through usenet to find vendors, also alibaba and other trade sites. Avoid Cameroon scams and again, check against safeorscam to see if they are legit.
Go check out dirtysouth@countermail.com That email address is dead but if you look him up on sos, you'll see a good example of a long term, trusted email vendor. His new contact info is there.

How do you know you won't get ripped off or that the vendor is actually a DEA agent?
Don't get me wrong, I think the idea is fine if the buyer and seller both have a long-standing and established relationship with one other. A lot of former SR vendors and their regular customers are continuing to do business this way.
However, and correct me if I am wrong, but it appears as if you are requesting vendors to come out of the woodwork and contact you? If you don't trust the new markets, why would you trust an anonymous person claiming to be a vendor?
Why would the vendors (who are probably really paranoid right now) trust you to not be an undercover agent? Why are you so sketched out by BMR and SMP that you would consider this option?

We do business vending cannabis outside of markets (but within escrow).
You can check us out at:

Just realize that you open yourself up to getting scammed more so than you might on a site.
Good luck OP.
