Title: Recommend me a vendor for my first SR buy?
Post by: 3AdYSv7bW8Nu5XfZ0I8W on February 22, 2013, 02:25 pm
Hi guys, i'm looking for a hash vendor that has good stuff and with which i'll be able to finish the whole transaction (~1g + worldwide shipping) for a max of 1 BTC.
Also, someone who won't force me to FE :(

Anyone knows if such a seller exists?

I must say this, with that handle your using you sure are askin for alot, esp dictating 1 BTC / worldwide shipping for what your looking for, hopefully your buyer account aint as crazy as your forum name, i mean shit it looks like a damn bitcoin address or pgp string rofl

If I were a vendor I would be weary of anybody with a buyer's name like that  :o

My best advice is to just search the road, one highly rated vendor at a time. Time consuming but rewarding when you find the good one.

Well, i knew any nickname i'd chose would be able to trace back to me, so i just generated a random string.

And the 1BTC max is coz i'm worried my country isn't a viable one to ship to, and i'd rather lose a small amount of money.

I think you are way over estimating the effectiveness of stylometry techniques. It's not your nickname that would expose you if someone was using such a method, it is your writing style. Choosing a ludicrously long random username has no effect on this. I chose random letters for my name too, but that was more just lazyness. I wasn't really interested in having an "identity" on the road, so when I chose my buyer name I just keyboard mashed. Kinda wish i hadn't now though, I'll just need to pick, or make, a really cool avatar to make up for it  ;D

Well, i did the same, i just grabbed the string from my password generator.

And you've only got 8 posts, open a new user? :)

I like both of your names. They remind me of my dear Aunt Ooaierghoebnoeitghoeibn.

Yeah that would be the obvious thing to do, lol. Nah I'll probably just make an avatar with something catchy in it, then if I ever become a really active member of this forum people will probably start calling me by whatever the catchy thing is. Probably won't matter though, for all the amount of posting I'm likely to do here my name is unlikely to matter to anyone, and this way I share my forum name with my buyer name on the road.

Anyway, decent hash for 1btc/g with worldwide shipping. My first advice would be search for someone from your own country. I don't know where you are, but if you search on the road and tick "Domestic Only" you will only get results from your country. This helps with 2 things, firstly it will lower your costs (only need to factor in "worldwide shipping" if you plan to order from the other end of the world) and secondly it means it isn't coming through customs. My plan here is to avoid bringing stuff through customs unless I need to, fortunately I live in the UK and it seems there is a decent amount of choice for buying domestic.

Just search through. There are tons of weed listings and there's definitely some great deals in there. I snagged a sample gram of skunk from a new vendor for about £4 including shipping, which was fantastic value. If you spend the time looking you'll eventually find that perfect little listing. There's certainly plenty of hash listed for under 1btc/g (currently that's about £20 in my money).

Good luck :)
