Title: TheSampleMan-offering a legitmate service to the SR community
Post by: TheSampleMan on August 11, 2012, 08:10 pm
Hello SR community,

I am TheSampleMan(well, this alias). I've been on the Road for almost a year now and really enjoy the successful transactions as well as majority of the folks here.

I am offering my services to the community. The service offered will be examining products from the vendors on SR. I will be reviewing any and all products. Every vendor that sends a sample will have a full, honest review. The review will be extremely detailed including: product quality, response time(punctuality), packaging, shipping time, price and people skills. Each review will have a rating scale of 5 contributing to each trait of the vendor.

Each review will have 2 separate(but same) reviews. One within my main thread and one personal review thread(Vendor specific). This will allow potential customers the ability to see your review and post their thoughts. The main thread will not be taking any posts from other SR members.

There will not be any biased reviews! I will not be bribed! I will take this very seriously!

I will be taking this challenge to heart and will be purchasing a vendor's account with $0 listings for each vendor that uses my service to leave feedback so all customers can see which vendors have used my service.

In order for me to do this I require at least 15 vendors to show interest since vendor accounts cost $150. Please take consideration to this service. The community would greatly appreciate this and gives the opportunity to provide honest reviews for new product batches as well as new vendors.

thank you for your time <3,

TheSampleMan

This is a damn good idea.

I thought so myself-LOL(that is biased)

I figured the vendor's account would put a "Seal of Approval" stamp on the idea as well as show the legitimacy of my intentions. Anyone can request samples, but most are free loaders and many reviews will not be accurately described to each person's liking(such as potency and shipping/response times).

On randomly selected orders I will send samples to the lab and to randomly selected SR members(I cant do too many drugs, lol). I will also send samples from vendors that claim purity levels at random.

I really hope this takes off. It is not needed, but if any members would like to contribute to the purchase of this Vendor's Account I would greatly appreciate it(so will you).

Thanks

Sure am......Must be nice to stay home all day and post nonsense to render peoples' ideas. Oh yeah I forgot, you're a MOD. I guess you have a LEGITIMATE reason to be on here all day POST WHORE.

All bs aside, this is a good idea and anyone who thinks otherwise is trolling or just an uber retard. History has shown that proven members have scammed buyers before and they have passed off product that has been far less pure than they've claimed.

It's up to the buyers and vendors if they want to be a true asset to the community. I mean, it's only money and we all know we can pick it off our money tree in the backyard.

At the point in time in which you offer to review drugs at no cost, quite obviously no cost to you rather than no cost to the vendor, you can no longer be trusted to be objective or unbiased in your reviews. I trust random feedback, by far, more than I would trust your reviews. That's not to same some folks can't establish themselves as giving quality reviews... but you're whoring it out all in front and then calling it a community service.

By your definition, I am either trolling or an uber retard, but the truth is that there are people who do EXACTLY what you say you want to do, and they do it for free. And often times, without telling the vendor before hand. So I'm against this idea without trolling or being stupid. :)

The review isn't solely based on my interpretation of quality. There will be lab results for some. There will also be reviews from other members as well.

I guess it is worth mentioning again(since people can't fully read the full post) that a vendor's account will be purchased. It's not like I am asking for samples and not putting anything into this venture. This would also provide a review page on the market itself with the vendor adding his/her comments on our transaction.

It's really not a hard concept to grasp, but I guess there always will be nay sayers wherever you go. SR is right about not pleasing everyone, but frankly I could care less. This is to minimize the crap about being scammed by vendors. Is it perfect? Certainly not! But it is a step further in bettering the community for the ones that care.

Feel free to chime people. If there are suggestions that would prove better than provide them. If you're just looking to comment(insult) and not provide any intellectual advice then troll on. You'll be a drop in the bucket of negativity.

What will quickly happen, if you become successful, is that illegitimate vendors will see you as a source of investment. Like so;

Bad Vendor sends in great coke for review.
You lab-test the coke.
You review the coke.
You're an "established and trusted reviewer".
People buy the coke!
Bad Vendor sends 50%-cut coke to buyers.

And bam, you've been used to make a scam MORE successful.

At first when I read the title I thought "Well, wouldn't we all like free samples! GTFO.

But then......

It seems like the OP is on the right track providing they truly are unbiased reviews. This way as customers we could source reviews from one spot instead of searching through every forum.  Good idea.

I've already explained why it isn't a good idea. One source for reviews means there is only one person you have to trick. Makes a scam much easier, not harder.

Like I said before, it ISN"T PERFECT. Maybe you can let us into your perfect little world. You or the others that are bashing this idea haven't provided a single idea that is better.

Scams are going to happen regardless of what the sale is. Perfection is a kite runner's dream. This idea will be very useful.

That's because there isn't a better idea, just an idea that isn't as bad. Well, unless...

You have someone that sends EVERYTHING in for lab-tests and posts the results of it all. But that requires a lot of costs that OP clearly doesn't want. OP wants free drugs. Free drugs at the cost of doing tests on the free drugs wouldn't be cost-effective. So you either need someone with a lot of money and a lot of love, or... there ISN'T A BETTER IDEA.

As for an idea that isn't as bad... me. I love free drugs, I have a vendor account, and I have a public face. I could do everything OP wants to do(except lab-testing) and rather than what OP has, which is an account made just today that if worse comes to worse he wouldn't feel bad about abandoning, I actually depend on my "reputation". Or I think I do, at least.

So there you go, a better idea that isn't better due to the costs involved, and an idea that is only better by nature of not being as bad.

But the real reason I think this is a bad idea is because I feel it paints oneself as a target. To scumbag vendors and scumbag LE.

Post by: Skippy_Jif on August 11, 2012, 11:38 pm
That is very true, but if OP did it correctly then he could pull it off. I'd be willing to try it as long as I get guaranteed results. Hell, I offer damn good products and most of the ones I have available are purified to near perfection, but a solid review with lab results are a good thing to have for a sample.

Is OP begging? Perhaps, but a vendor's account would definitely show initiative to prove otherwise. His/Her review would be a great way for people to find product reviews if it was stickied.

He/She is correct along with you about reviews being available, but I've seen some horrible reviews from a lot of people on this board. Majority of people post a review that is far from reliable due to the fact they were so amped about getting drugs in the mail. SR offers a nice service, but if someone sells shitty products it is pointless.

I'd be down to send him/her a sample for a review. I don't know why other vendors wouldn't? Scammer or not, this will definitely boost sales.

I've sent you a block of text about why I think this isn't a good idea, in your case.

Samples that aren't going to be lab-tested really only serve to start new vendors out, and even then it isn't my first recommendation to new vendors.

The only way I do support this guy is if he lab-tests all samples, because THAT is a service that would benefit vendors.

Post by: Hungry ghost on August 12, 2012, 12:15 am
Blarghrawr has already explained why this wouldn't work. Any vendor can just send quality drugs to thesampleman and shit to his customers. People already have done this when sending out samples and then once they get good reviews the quality drops mysteriously.
      The only way to decide if a vendor is any good is a combination of watching feedback for a while, reading the rumour mill and combining these data into a common sense judgement! It's not perfect but it's reasonably useful.

Now if we could set up a 'mystery buyer' like many shops do, to pose as a normal customer and review vendors, including purity testing and your other suggestions... There's a better idea for you. Cost more money tho.

Hold on, why are we debating whether its a good idea or not to send a moocher free drugs in the hope he might produce a semi-proficient critique? I mean come the fuck on guys, rewind and take a look at the bigger picture.

In fact let me offer my services... Anyone who wishes to subscribe can send 1BTC a week, they will then be entitled to read my reviews, which I will publish weekly. Each week subscribers can vote on a drug of choice, and I will make sample buys, posing as a new and an established customer. I will rate the quality of both the experience and the drug in a fair and unbiased manner. All vendors will be aware that each order they send out may end up under my unblinking scrutiny, and will be forced to straighten up and fly right. Obviously I will promise not to take any unseemly pleasure in these gratis narcotic experiences.

If he provides lab results and he buys a vendor's account then I'm willing to give him a shot. Just saying......It may be a scam, but fuck it! I can afford to lose at the expense of some of my products and I'm sure other vendors can too.

Now, if I get scammed I will come back and bless you guys with my shame and limetless can ban his ass with his newly approved powers.

If you are set on doing this how about you purchase your drugs from these vendors and leave a honest review in the forum.

You're accomplishing what you set out today and you're not costing the vendor unnecessary 'fees' to start up vending.
