So, after 12 months a vendor, now Sesampinos account is inactive and if you click on any link for his products or have him as a fav, you find a message page, no listings. This happened the past few hours as I was looking at Sesampinos page everyday. I even saw a few comments in which a lot of people seemed to have 'no shows'. Sesampino was top of the coke listings for months, but now he is either dealing with some real life issues which mean he cannot sell for a while or he/she has had enough.
As a few here know, I don't buy big on the coke. I'm not an 8 ball in a weekend guy, or a night! But I am fussy and my wife even more so. We pay hard earned money as we both work. So spending £100 or more on a gram of some coke, sesampino always delivered. I still (at this moment) think the guys got some real life issues. I can think of a hundred reasons why a man might need time alone and why even earning money might not seem important. Deaths, births, illness, car crashes and so on. I don't think ses is a scammer but if 1000 people come on here to say they are waiting for the 8 ball to roll then, hmmm, lets just see what happens before we call ses a scammer.
A year of dealing coke, on that level, he or she or they have earned a lot. I got the impression ses did not use coke which is good for the buyer as its users of coke who WILL always take something out of a kilo and add something back.
Trouble is, many dealers will maybe feel its too risky when they hit 'superstar' status. I think the pressure is on if your vending a fair amount of charlie. It is tempting as hell to take the money and run. And lets be honest, many have done just that here. Built up trust then hit hundreds for anything from 1 gram of coke to maybe an ounce or more for some resellers. Whether ses has done that is a question not answered until he appears on his page to say what has gone on, or at least informed us 'shit has happened' and we can assume that it really has.
Ses was asking even his regulars to FE to help him during the bitcoin instability we had, prices going mad. and all over the place. £6 to £10, in days! I did FE, got my requested yayo, but did think afterwards that the buyer can also lose out of course. We always get BTC linked to the dollar but if the BTC goes up and you maybe have 20 BTC which is now worth £60 more than it was three days ago, then we 'lose' and the vendor is now making a big slice. To defend ses, other vendors asked people to FE to help them out. Some vendor have made tons of cash as they were selling when the bitcoin was £3 and have a few thousand bitcoin in wallets. Those guys and girls, wish I was one of you!
Its looking bad at the moment - and sesapino was my man for the coke! I put people onto him also and they sung his praises on the fishscale and top quality.
Missus will be gutted as we think its wise to buy that Christmas and New Year coke in September/October. So, might really need another connect as TWO vendors whose coke I possess (off the premises) have now officially gone AWOL and for some this means that FE hurts real bad.
Had it happen myself. Scammed. But I am more careful now and know what to look for in a good dealer. I don't look at the ratings here for coke as most buying really know very little about coke, its etiquette, the do and don't and whys and why not..
So, hope that all is well with sesampino, it is WAY too early to call out scammer. Anything can happen in life that can take a man or women out of work for a few weeks. So lets hope he is ok and his family first of all and then we can assess how many are owed and have no shows or are in resolution.
I did want to message sesampino over a slight issue I have. Until I hear otherwise I will never bitch at a vendor here I message them over any issues. Bitch here if they do not reply. Not bitch, just complain as I spent £100 and that is a lot of cash.
I suspect we will have a lot of people on here asking for Sesampino. Well, I kinda warmed a bit to the guy - but this is the internet - he always sent me top quality coke, hope I was not a stooge being used (send good coke to the people here who make posts) Oh well, I never spend more than I can afford and always accept that you may lose here. Unlike the street there is no accompanying violence. In real life, taking a gram back to the dealer and telling him its not good enough quality is often not advisable.
Here its how SR works - if we spend £100 plus on a gram and its not good enough - we can go back to the 'Account' tab o the top right of your webpage and then you will see a list on the right of links including 'Buyers Guide', and the important 'VIEW FEEDBACK'. This is were you can alter that 5/5 you gave just because you got an envelope turn up. Sometimes I buy something here but don't use it for weeks! I finalize before opening the envelope for most I buy off as I got a level of trust.
Certain vendors, you become so used to their ways,. you know they sent what you bought. But IF you buy coke, few will test it there and then in the morning or early afternoon, some might do a few tests, but you really never know for sure what the coke is like until you snort it!
So, hope ses is OK, but most of all I hope the paying customers are sorted because, even if ses broke a leg or had some calamity or bereavement even it only takes a minute to log on here and just say 'shit has happened, got to sort it, will be back and will sort all orders out'. But there are exceptions. Sometimes really bad things happen.
Hope he does come back!
Came to rely on him, bought off other vendors (you have to try some new ones) but always knew my ses stash was legit and a good coke. terrific when washed!
In fact, I feel worried, both for ses and for the customers who have ordered and not yet received.
But, lets be real here, this is the internet, people aint who they seem to be, and for legit reasons sometimes and for bad reasons most of the time!
On a hunch, I still think ses is a good guy. But - neck on the line there, if he turns out to be a scammer I'm a shill and never knew it!
Sucks unless ses comes back and all would be well then.
This thread will grow!
Lot of people bought off ses and 95% never said a word about quality or service. Ses was an example of how every vendor ought to be, He posted from Germany faster than 50% of UK vendors.
Come back ses!
We need you!
I was going to get an 8 ball for fucks sake!
Ah well, so to repeat the obvious question, who has go the best coke then?
::)
I'd hate to lose sesampino but maybe it might work out if I can find another go to guy or girl.

red are you a writing reporter or something? your last 2 posts are huge, you got 1+ for the coke thread one, nice read.
And for Ses, I loved his service, too but as you mentioned there are so many things that can happen. Now that his account is frozen it does not mean he is proven a scammer. It means SR stepped in and looks at this case. Nothing more and nothing less.

;D
Wish I had a reporters wages, but if I was I'd do a big story on SR and send off for loads of coke, snort it all, and condemn cocaine use as 'immoral' and all that.
Journalists, some decent ones, most would not touch a shitty 'SR exposed' story but some people will suck dick for a dollar so it follows some journalist will whinge about drugs as if they have never indulged or been with someone who has or is.
I do honest work, I get bored so write on here to pass the time.
And inform people.
Hate seeing people burnt for a gram of yayo.
And no, I'm not using it now.
If I was I'd say so.
Just a bit bored really. Sitting about with fuck all to do really but I cannot phone my boss up and say we have nothing to do because we all have shit to do.
So I get paid for writing in a way.
So, that's a win I guess.

I know what you mean. I am sitting here at work, too.
Securely tunneled to one of my home servers and from there in the onion land...
But my boss slowly gets the drift and starts to control my work more and more. So I think I have to change my routines a bit to fly safe under the radar again. Happy working! ,-)

that sucks that he is gone. he was always my favorite. i still have faith that he will make right on our outstanding business

Um, no you don't. ::)
No, really. You don't.

Hope the Ses dude is alright!
My first order on SR for me + 2 friends was with Ses cause he looked A+ with great reports on feedback + on the forum. All didn't go well at first but he came through in the end + me + mates were happy out in the end!
Out of interest, how much can a scammer gain on here if lets say they were selling good coke? Soon to be in agonizing pain Lebeouf1 got a bit outta me but he must have earned a few g's on the overall scam?
