Title: suggestions for a newb
Post by: ch0sen on December 04, 2012, 11:48 pm
I have been reading and recently posted.  Overall I did what is expected, did my due diligence on the various sellers.
Read feedback in the forums on them.  PM'd a few with basic questions.  I used GPG for the address info on my first purchase.
I went with a reputable seller who has remarkable ratings and lots of good feedback on the forums.
I used bitinstant anonymously to get BTC into SR and overall everything has gone fairly smoothly.  I am still waiting on delivery.

I wanted to ask, aside from what seems like basic steps for a successful transaction, what other things can I do as a newb
to be a better buyer so that sellers are comfortable with me although I do not have stats to back it up.

Thanks

- Order a small amount to start with

- Use encryption

- FE is the vendor requires it

That's all you can do really, although most guys wont have a problem with selling to you even though it's your first time.

Enjoy the road.

It's been my experience that if you do the things listed and are polite and normal things tend to work out.  Just like IRL as long as your not batshit crazy and use common sense others will act in kind (provided they're not bat shit crazy).  Good luck to you and be safe.
