Vendors of Days Past

I love the history of the DNMs. It's already been four years since they took SR down, which is a typical college career. There are people who consider themselves "old-timers" who never even visited SR and the funny thing is, is that they still are old timers because it happened so long ago.

I also love imagining the secret lives of vendors. Like, do the big vendors have sweatshops filled with nearly naked women bagging up product all day and big black dudes with shotguns guarding the doors? Or is it a bunch of fucking nerds buying from big sellers and reselling, or maybe even naked nerds trapped in a cartel safehouse doing the online vending for the jefes?

There have been some legendary vendors, and many not so legendary who were still very cool and/or total characters. Many left the game, got arrested, whatever....

Who were your favorite vendors, and why did you like them? and are they still around? If not, you know what happened to them? Any interesting stories about old vendors?

I wanna trip down memory lane, and seeing really big names like Tony76, NOD, etc, give me a heavy dose of the feels. I wanna remember the little guys.

I loved this vendor named Pharmacare on SR1 because he mostly sold safe injection kits and withdrawal aids. I was new to the scene and thought it was so cool that this guy was going on the darknet to sell things to help people. He also sold legit opium, which I bought and enjoyed (it just tickled my appetite though so I had to move on to real opiates).

I also loved every single legit heroin vendor on blackbank. Caliclaire, alexsosa, Panda Express, dragoncove...in addition to the enormous heroin review thread, it was a junkies dream with all these top notch vendors competing to sell the best dope. It felt like a family, albeit a shady, heroin addicted one that you couldn't truly trust.

Long live blackbank =(

Other long gone vendors I remember: Reblzrox (sold roxys and sold me some, and shipped them out, two days before the seizure. Never saw him again and assume he lost a buttload of coin he couldn't recover from cuz he was a small time vendor) Order of the Phoenix (sold me my first trips, great stuff although I seem to remember something weird happening with him...) and of course that crazy motherfucker DoD (someone please remind me of all his other aliases...the Silk Road subreddit was nonstop solid gold).

[12 Points] CruelMenOfRome:

I was really stoked on Supertrips back in the SR1 days. His MDMA was cheap, think I paid $1000 for 100g? That sounds about right, and it was absolute fire, these brownish purpley clear chunks that stank like sassafras/ licorice. The reviews I had from the shit were like none other, my local custys made up some name for it they loved it so much. Then hearing the story about how he got chapped flying into the US, and them seizing his laptop and finding all his accounts and info... just a bummer. I forget where I read about that, gwern maybe?

Also, as a former vendor back then myself, I have lots of regrets, and understand why shit doesn't always go as planned for folks. For example, by the end of my "career" a handful of people had begun to decry me as a scammer, but I never went about scamming anyone intentionally like, say, Tony76 did. However there were a handful of customers I did do wrong, and being in the "program" (12 Step) today wish I could make them an amends of sorts. In perhaps the primary instance in my recollection, someone went totally outside of escrow and sent me something like ~$1200 for a relatively large quantity of a certain product. I used this to re-up, send out my current batch of normal orders, but by then my own addiction (which I had been halfway managing with pure GHB powder sourced from the site) had begun to rear up and rapidly overtook any concern I had about getting the original guy his shit.

What I feel worst about is the number of my regular customers who came to my defense when shit got rough. I had built up enough of a reputation that people actually stood up for me when I initially vanished; didn't require shilling or anything, my proponents did it for me. And when I resurfaced for a time and actually made things right with a bunch of people, it validated all of their counter-accusations, like "How dare they accuse [me] of being a scammer!?" Within a month or so after that, though, it totally fell apart and while I never, ever asked people to Finalize Early, many did it just because they trusted me and my feedback. And I fucked them. I could point to my addiction, and indeed that is sincerely the cause but the fact is I stole from people and they had no recourse, and I feel like a dirtbag.

In retrospect, however, my drug use caused a tremendous amount of wreckage all throughout my life and I feel worse about stealing from friends and family, or local stores, than I do about my final missteps on the Silk Road. But I have never felt good about stealing from anyone, and certainly not people who put their faith in me to come through for them; people who likely were fellow addicts such as myself, and who counted on receiving their drugs to get through the day. I know it doesn't do any real good from this point, but I guess this is an anonymous apology of sorts, just to put that energy "out into the universe" even years later. Though I'm uncomfortable disclosing who I vended under at this point, if I could address any of the people I hurt directly I would say, while we don't know each other personally, and while I'm currently unable to repay you for what I stole, know that today I have 6 months sober and I work to keep the wrongs I have caused in the forefront of my mind so as to try and be a better person in every respect today. I am truly sorry.

No votes for Mr. Saturn??? Amazing customer service and insane prices. I remember chatting with him and he always replied super quickly and his stealth was the best I've seen for MDMA ever

Snapback for yellow Twitter mdma pills from Belgium... And bungee of course...trying to remember more. PlatinumStandard...


[5 Points] GrandWizardsLair:

Farmer1's Skush was some of the finest marijuana the Grand Wizard ever smoked, and seeing as how he has four decades of smoking under his belt that is saying something indeed.


[6 Points] hoppinga:

K Queen on SR1 had the best ketamine ever for the best prices. God damn that shit was fire.

Also that one guy who would make a bunch of different drugs into geltabs was amazing. He had moxy, Xanax, amphetamine and a few others. Think his name had Simon in it, can't remember anymore.


[5 Points] livesindarkness:

Does anyone remember FrankMatthews or c63amg? Those guys were the kings of H. They were two of the biggest vendors on the DNMs, and somehow they lasted from SR1 up until about a year ago. The customer service was so top notch, even when everyone got scammed on Sheep they still honored my order on Agora (or whatever the next one was, can't remember) when they never got paid for it. Unfortunately, just before they left they started the typical selective scamming before running thing. I like to think that they're somewhere in the Carribean right now, sipping on pina coladas laughing at how they avoided LE for so long. Oh the days.

The majority of them will disappoint you. Some of them are just normal people, who don't necessarily need the income anymore, and they live regular lives and look normal. I know the media tries to portray them as cool hardened thugs or just unusual people with crazy personalities, but in real life businessmen are heavily attracted to these markets for business alone. Some don't even use the product.

  1. farmer1 - I miss the skush.

  2. StrattonOakmont - Great product, reliable, great price.

  3. cannaxpress000 - Another reliable and HQ vendor.

I fucking loved Blackbank!


[4 Points] papervoid:

Farmer1 was my first DNM purchase in 2013. I hadn't smoked in 2 years and after 6 hits I was tripping balls.

Also, QualityRX was an awesome vendor for pills. I loved that he threw in free samples by request with your order and his daily profile updates so you know when your pack went out(remember no MyUSPS at the time)

[3 Points] BakedPastaParty:

RealSupremeSmoke....i was just reminiscing about him today with someone, dude was legit and he was around from SR1....got busted in 2014/15 i believe. I know because I received an express order and he was busted the very next morning en route to the post office (or at it, dont quite remember; but I do remember they raided his house and his girlfriends house [and he was married lol]. had pretty good opsec i guess cuz i never heard a peep and my address was fine. I hope hes alright)

Shakedownstreet was my first mdma experience. Always hooked it up fat and was a super nice guy. He disappeared after SR was taken down. Hopefully just retired gracefully.


[2 Points] ksosk:

Cali-Connection from Evolution/Agora/Black Bank/Middle Earth (I forget it I'm missing one). They provided me with my first LSD experience, and compared to what was being moved during those times, it was some of the best.


[2 Points] bigj1227:

I still have very nostalgic memories of LSD vendor: HouseOfSpirits. This is the story of how I discovered the wonders of free trade on the darknet. I was 19 years old and had been selling pot for about 2 years to support my marijuana habit. One of my customers which happened to still be in high school called me and asked me if I was interested in buying some extremely good LSD. As a free thinker I had done tons of research on lsd and wanted to try it very much but was never able to find a legit source for it in the streets. When he told me about this LSD I was very skeptical how this kid found something I had been looking for for so long. He was very smart and very convincing as he assured me it was not a research chemical. I decided to take the plunge and ended up having one of the most influential and amazing nights of my life. I hit him up the next day and BEGGED him to give me the information so I could acquire more from it. I said "where did you get this man??" He said "from HouseOfSpirits" HoS? Who/What is that? He began to inform me about bitcoin and online onion marketplaces. It was very intimidating information but I had seen the direct byproduct of this mysterious "darknet." I got on my computer and began educating myself on everything "darknet" I stumbled onto the majestic garden forums and started reading post after post. After being glued to the computer for something like 2 days I finally felt I knew enough information to take the plunge. I hit up my homeboy and asked him if he would sell me $500 worth of bitcoin (bitcoin was about $1000 dollars at this time and was the highest it had ever been. I believe this all happened in 2014?) with bitcoin in hand i stumbled onto good ol agora (RIP) and made my very first purchase. 100 hits of Berkeley Silver LSD for HouseOfSpirits. Long story short I changed many lives with this LSD. My sole purpose with these blotters was to influence as many people as I could with a positive experience. I just wanted others to have the same mind transcending experience that I did. To this day I have never gotten LSD that was as good as HouseOfSpirits 100ug Berkeley Silver tabs. I will never forget HouseOfSpirits. She started it all for me.

I believe we need an actual vendor's input to really get an answer. I think they are tech savvy smart individuals with buddies who have connections or are connections. It all comes down to who you know and how close you are to them.


[1 Points] mymuse100:

Mushbud. No they retired but are still on the superlist. Their stealth was bar fucking NONE. Like BAR NONE to the point that I would be willing to order a 10g package to a burned dropped with the person on probation good XD.

like to the poin t where someone customs opened it. THEY tested it with reagent ... sealed it and sent it on it's way XD

[1 Points] TheKeyOfKet:

As of most recent over in the /r/dnmuk scene - my praise goes out to ChemsHQ and ImperialStormTrooper (rip) - both vendors banging faultless and seemless service. I do hope that ChemsHQ hasn't gone down the same route at IST and been nicked but i hope hes out chilling in Marbella with his cash. Both vendors selling top products, except for the k off IST wasn't (imo) k (rocks stuff).

[1 Points] rustyshotgun:

/u/Loud_Mouths , every H vendor that you listed. SWIM created the "official h3r0in v3nd0rs" thread on BlackBank. They were all great. Especially Panda Express. Sucks how he fucked over when he left, but when he was doing business there were few others that matched his speed/quality. CC is still one of the best around imo, dragoncove also (now known as OriginalDragonCove), and Sosa just returned (!). I wish some of the others would show up again, esp Panda lol. There were also some great H vendors that were on Pandora when it was around.

Cheers and hope you're doing well!

Me and ToddHoffman did so much business together, I got spoiled and never found another vendor that compared.. Ordered a QP of trim oil every 6-7 days for months, to the point where he was throwing in a free oz on every qp for my personals.. I helped get my area hooked on oil before it was really "a thing"... Todd will forever be in my heart :(


[1 Points] ISnortCars:

FENTSTORE was the absolute best until he exit scammed :(

I wonder what % of vendors are females? I just assume every person with a really girly screen name is a guy tbh.
