been around since early SR days; BTC was <£1 on my first order! Its easy to see the past through rose tinted spectacles, though: Very often I remember making a UK-UK order and having it sit for a couple of days until the vendor noticed it, then another day or so before shipped. Royal Mail is usually NDD than as now. But basically if I wanted to order something I'd have to start thinking about it a week before... Nowadays vendors seem to have upped their game (and generally got more practiced at their craft) and NDD is the norm, to the point where you feel disappointed if a letter doesn't come the day after you order. (I speak only of UK domestic scene, never ordered international as customs seems like a whole different can of shit to open) Also,vendors and customers are now more comfortable with moving from market to market as they fall/exit scam. I remember the dread day when that seizure notice appeared on the SR login page; I was reading on the forums and someone said "ITS OVER GUYS". But everyone was running round in panic trying to contact there favorite vendors and wishing they had saved more GPG keys and given theirs out more! I didn't order for a while after that, just lurked waiting to see what happened next. So I never used BMR, I can't remember, a couple small orders here and there until Agora turned up and established itself as the market leader. Now when a market disappears you can just search for your vendor on Grams, and all vendors understand the importance of keeping a continuous GPG identity if they wish to transfer to a new market, (some prefer to start fresh for OPSEC reasons), There is also a hugely greater choice of vendors which, particularly recently, seems to have been driving prices down. Might just be my DOC for that though! Now if we can just get this multisig business into the mainstream...

Indexing DD's (reviews, deals, typical profile info seen on markets) is the future of DNM's
