This guy is selling this wall socket safe for over $20 with shipping. I found the same thing on Amazon for $8 free shipping. With bad reviews no less. It goes to show you that you shouldn't always buy something just because it's on SR. I almost did. What other rip offs have you guys seen?

Who would think to buy this off SR?

People who sell such things as software, movies, games that aren't even physical, it's just a download link. It baffles me why would somebody pay even a bitcoin for something they can get free by doing a Google search or going on a Torrent website.
-
I was actually thinking about buying it. Ha! My GF said coppers are trained to look behind sockets too. Just FYI.
To be fair. Most of those people selling digital stuff aren't selling it for that much.
-
Porn.
Who is buying porn for BTC? Are there seriously people on here who are technically aware enough to be able to use tor and bitcoins... but don't know how to watch porn on the internet without parting with tricky-to-acquire cryptocurrency?
-
shhh.. those things are why a tumbler works... not only do they not know who paid for the drugs they can't be certain you even bought drugs...
-
No shit. People who buy porn from SR have a fuckin problem.
-
those USB darknet sticks
why would you trust anyone here with something like that?>
-
No Idea... just asking to lose your BTCs
-
What exactly are those darknet things?

Doh... that makes perfect sense. Why had this not occurred to me before lol. Thanks for that :)

True!

Something to do with opening a portal to another realm.

What exactly are those darknet things?
People sell pre-configured USB drives that have an operating system on them which allows you to use a computer without leaving any trace you were on it, with all internet traffic forced through tor. I would never buy something like that, firstly because you are entirely trusting someone else with your anonymity and secondly because what they are selling can be gotten for free without any real hassle, even for a tech noob like me. There is a linux distro called Tails which does pretty much exactly what these people are offering, right out of the box and for free.

And they aren't exactly cheap either.

There's a sucker born any minute...and lots of them think "well, it's expensive, so it has to be good!" ;D

Free porn should be a god given right! On the other hand (no pun intended) I guess someone has to buy it so they keep making it... I did buy some pretty cool E-books just to get a few purchases under my belt (no pun intended again =o) but I did search PB for them first!
