I like Nucleus cause of its design and simplicity also GG's site cause of WoW, is all that talking about Alpha FUD or not?

Since the Grand Wizard is presently on a record number of markets, here are our thoughts:
Right now our busiest shop remains GWL AlphaBay. People bitch at length about AB but they seem reluctant to shop anywhere else. While our AlphaBay sales are down they still make up the majority of our trade. We have never had personal issues with AB as a buyer or seller: however, we remain concerned by the volume and ratio of these complaints. (Among other things, they drive away paying customers). Right now AB is around 60-65% of our business with the rest spread around our other markets.
We are still in vacation mode on EIC until such time as they sort their various issues out. We liked EIC as a buyer and thought it had a good selection of vendors, but we never got a lot of business at GWL EIC. (We did get a heartening percentage of multisig traffic there with the business we had).
We've been getting a good bit of business on Hansa recently. It's got a clean layout, it's easy to use, and it has a decent if not overwhelming selection of vendors. Its 2-of-2 multisig system is no harder to use than conventional escrow and much less vulnerable to exit scam or LE seizure.
Valhalla is also getting more business over the past few days: it's a very minimalist design but it works well and loads fast. We're pretty happy there and would definitely recommend checking the site out if you're interested.
Another minimalist site -- and this week, surprisingly, our #2 market for income -- is Oasis. They are new and we're still not sure how feasible their "Donations Only" model is on a long-term basis but they are getting a good bit of traffic and also use multisig.
We have just opened our Outlaw shop and haven't sold anything there. Their interface takes a bit of getting used to but is quite functional once you figure it out. It's not the prettiest market out there but it gets the job done: it also receives high marks from security-minded acquaintances of ours and has been around since 2013. It's not one of the better-known markets but Outlaw's admin has definitely paid his dues and this one could go places in 2016.
We had our first sale on Dream Market, only to discover our PIN didn't work. We've written to support but haven't received a response for 1 day 7 hrs. and counting. We've already shipped out the order ($20 worth) and put our shop in vacation mode. As of now we're not impressed with their administration insofar as responsiveness goes.
We are also considering getting a shop on Nucleus: they get a lot of traffic and if we were allowed to run GWL Nucleus as FE only we could overlook the conventional escrow. But we may be maxed out on markets for now and will keep that on the back burner for the time being.

Nucleus for me

Nuke and Dream have worked well for me. DDs with trusted vendors is where it's at though.

Unpopular opinion but Alphabay I've yet to see any proof alphabay has fucked someone over

As a vendor I think that Valhalla gets too little love. I hope they will grow. :)

I've never bought from Alphabay because it seemed dodgy. But I've got a buddy who messes round with carder stuff, and he seems to have deposited bitcoin frequently there and never had a single issue.
I think all the people here who say they logged in and their coins were gone more than likely they were phished or some other mistake. Still wouldn't trust a market run by carders, it just seemed wrong to me from the off, and they did alot of competition bashing/not associated with credible behavior.
Nucleus is the one at the moment, don't know where I'd go after probably with the current options I'd just look to directly mailing vendors if Nucleus went. Not so much because I think they will steal my btc as the markets themselves just arent very good and can't be trusted because of past problems or weak security.

Nucleus is fine, Outlaw looks like crap but works well.

I've used Nucleus, DHL, and Alphabay. Nothing has ever gone wrong on any of them for me.
[1 Points] ass-fister:
AlphaBay. I've done a few transactions on nucleus but I can't really get attached to it. The UI and everything is very nice similar to abraxas or agora but for some reason I very much prefer alphabay.

DHL is pretty tight

Hansa had that Law Officer working for them?
What is going on there?
Nucleus but I'll also be trying Outlaw soon!
