Title: aww too late!
Post by: budtopia on April 21, 2012, 06:42 pm
Just found out about this place!
Sad I'll miss the 420 sale, I didn't think it'd take that long to get money here..

Anyways, I hope I have a good time traveling the SR!

Thank you admins and mods and community for making this a safe site. It really does feel like the future here.

Lurk. A lot. Read everything. Especially reviews on products and vendors you wish to buy from. :) STAY IN ESCROW. Always. If the product you want has the whole "Under 5 purchases must finalize early" fuckery stamped all over it, avoid. Buy something from someone who will let you stay in escrow. Which brings me to another point, generally big orders require early finalization, THIS I understand. So don't go buying 600$ worth of Ket as your first purchase. Start small, work your way up. Ease yourself into it. Look out for your fellow roaders, and they'll look out for you. Learn PGP if you haven't already. It's not hard at all, promise. :D

Remember to read up on your vendor of choice. I can't stress this enough. Even if they have amazing feedback, if they seem to have a 3 week ship time to your country, you miiight want to look somewhere else.

And oh, yea, WELCOME! :)

Budtopia, that makes two of us. I was disappointed to find out that it will take too long to get bitcoins to make the sale, but I'm still extremely excited that I found this Eutopian place that is SR!

You MIGHT get your BTC in time for the sale if you use a MoneyPak to BTC vendor like BTCbuddy?
