Ladies and Gents,
Welcome and hello! I have been lurking on SR for a good long time (under a few handles) doing some market research, considering getting involved in a vendor roll.
I wanted to ask all of you, and every one of if you could sum up in one sentence something you wish you could get on SR but can't what would it be? (Of course following DPRs select rules.)
Signed,
My current Russian Handle.

Hi,
Well I know you mean products, but i'm going to mention something else...
I think the actual SR interface could use more features such as serach products by price, weight, more location perameters etc.
In terms of product, why not offer tangible products such as mobile phones, digital radios etc.
-
guns, bombs, IEDs, radioactive isotopes, MANPADS, animals, children, gems and slaves and you have to pm for kiddie porn and do the transaction outside of escrow unless they throw up a face custom listing for you

Where would you be vending from? Cause north America could use some new competition in the domestic coke and heroin market.
A lot of weed is also ridiculously priced like a see shit up to 40 a. Gram for weed in the USA and 25 in Canada
I get med grade from B.C. for a buck a gram or less all day off the road but I'm some other oeole would love assess to bomb strains for good prices and lots of variety is key

Thanks Kneotac for the response,
I do agree with you that some functionality of SR is still a little infantile... I plan on setting up a hidden service this weekend to see what kind of complexities it ensues... I imagine new features and client side rendering are really to slow to be effective, I have a lot of experience in hosting on the clearnet. Hope to apply that and help people here.
As for your product recommendation, I was thinking about that... I am thinking there may be use cases on SR for legal things that perhaps... Anonymity is easier/preferred, or you come for the drugs and stay for legal products?
The more the media reports on Tor/SR the more people will come... And I know many, myself included, just like the idea of surfing (Clear or Darknet) with out google/apple/*Insert ISP here* knowing everything I do and building me into a profile.
Regards,
Some Ukranian Duke

"med grade" from b.c. for "a buck a gram". $450 a pound you say? if it was you could vend and be rich and charge top dollar because none of the weed on the road from canada is "med grade".

@Murder4Fun, thanks for the reply... Bombs and IEDs did intrigue me, but from my reading they are not permitted by DPRs standards, and I know Cheese Pizza is certainly not. I understand that the many layers of the onion may be lawless, but to have success... I can't be!
@Joker I am from NA and have limited experience in Heroin markets, and not sure if my contacts would remain priced/friendly if my qtys upped enough for global sell, I think I would have to delve deeper. As for your comments on MaryJane, I completely agree and it is a target I am eyeing. Even just Seed distribution seems completely over favored to the seller... Let's let capitalism roam free and see if I can make a buck?
Much Appreciate input from you both!
Cheers,
Some Iranian Dude (Who just admitted he is from NA ahhh! (Hopefully not Boston AM I RIGHT?!)

i know :( its still very lacking!
lets not forget remote detonators, tilt fuses, C4, flash powder, hand grenades, anthrax, ricin, cyanide, cholera and human organs
-
nothing to harm others. and most drugs are available. just expensive.

Human Organs... I'd have to stretch my contacts pretty deep to find a supply of those... Ricin is not something I want to be dealing with after today and yesterday.
Remote Detonators and Tilt Fuses seem to be a good idea.
Hand grenades aren't incredibly difficult to obtain.
C4... Is there really a market? It is so expensive (for private obtainment) when it has been proven a pressure cooker can suffice...

chloroform and stolen automobiles
i would seriously buy a slave of any race if it was young, strong, in good condition and fairly priced. i would also stock up on tilt fuses and chloroform. everything else i listed is just items i noticed the site is lacking.
-
Thanks Man,
I will add these notes to my Research.
-
Professional, government grade identification: passport, drivers license, social security/medicare card. Obviously country dependent in terms of the third form, but definitely the passport and drivers license are universal products with enough demand to make supplying them profitable.
What SR really needs though is:
Better buyer protection; full monetary recompense upon unsuccessful deliveries; perhaps an exclusive SR currency not subjected to the volatility of the bitcoin
Less collusion
Elimination of oligopolies
More free market qualities
A reduction in the remarkably overpriced products
More consistent and higher quality products
More competition
More recourse options to mitigate deceptive vendor tactics resulting in unsatisfactory transactions
A realization that without the people the vendors, DPR, and SR would not exist in this profit making capacity SR affords them. Yet everything obtainable at higher risk and higher cost on SR will always remain available IRL, absent many of the injustices buyers are subject to on SR

CR thank you for the well thought out response,
IDs ~ Thank-You, I saw some and assumed they were good quality. Passports is a dangerous game as giving out a passport to your native country (Some Countries) is considered treason. DLs though are another story.

Currency: If SR had its own currency I think that would create MORE volatility not less, stability is in volume and acceptance.
More Free Market Qualities: What do you feel it lacks?
Competition: Of course, when vendors compete buyers win!
I think DPR realizes that, but fears good vendors will leave if this turns into a PayPal like complaint system where the buyer always wins.
My Thoughts,
V

tricky indeed. I think the buyer needs to be the one taking a leap of faith...

"What we have here is failure to communicate"
But seriously SR is lacking public support. Yea it's anonymous right on but it would be cool to see people wearing SR T-shirts and just say " I don't know my dad got it for me at a yard sale " or some shit like that. Maybe a big tour bus driven by non SR users that can't be linked to SR in any way except hey they are driving around in an SR tour bus
SR has not got a Face and nor will it ever so it's just considered the hidden under belly darknet but in reality it's the new revolution in it's infantile stages. Kind of reminds me of when the Declaration of Independance was written by our fore fathers here in the states who were risking there lives in doing so and if they hadn't of then there may not be no USA.

yagi antennas
mrgrey had them and now i don't know where he is
-
Mike,
I hear you! I agree as well! But how can we market this? And how can I make money doing so? These are more predominant questions. Making Clearnet marketing tactics are easy, perhaps I can find vendors who will give me cut when I recruit buyers for them...
Interesting thoughts...
Regards,
V

SR is lacking a product it used to carry, the "buy a new life." I saw it awhile ago but can no longer find it. New ID, passport, SS card, everything. In case shit got REALLY real and you absolutely needed to GTFO of reality, this might be a handy item to have available to you.

Yeah, speak the truth brother?

peach will be back I think, the products you speak of are the real deal

choppas!

hookers

Government Opium stolen from FT. Knox.
Yes, they keep that there.

Nazi memorabilia

counterfeit money?

Nazi memorabilia
I think ebay has that one covered... ;)

Add feature "What can I buy with my current balance" Shows all items that the user can afford with their remaining bitcoins.

I'm in Canada myself and find that my connects for weed are always top notch and much cheaper than SR.
That being said, there are some real quality deals to be had on most everything else...and who honestly wouldn't want more than a few sources for ANYTHING!? PPL dry up, etc
Always good to have multi-hooks!

the kitchen sink, and (incidentally) water

Gents,
Thank-You all for your comments and your time. The main thing I'm hearing is that the offerings of SR are to your liking but you feel that SR itself is lacking a few features.
These are Features I believe I could help implement, perhaps I need to reach out to DPR.
Thanks again! If you have other comments or questions feel free to PM me.
Regards,
V

An option to combine listed items' prices with their shipping cost (of course it would be a range due to different types of shipping)
