> Third, people who use Silk Road 2.0 are very happy punters. The average score out of 5 left by drug user on the site of was an impressive 4.85.
> This is the most important thing of all. Because it offers competition and choice, the power here is in the hands of the buyer rather than the vendor. Drug dealers on these markets are very polite and attentive – desperate for a positive review because anything else would damage business. I emailed a number of vendors during my research and all were extremely helpful. As you can see from this Wordle, ‘great’ ‘fast’ and ‘good’ are the most common words left on the written feedback section. There are a lot of happy users out there. Markets really do work!
Once you find a dealer who buys 500/1000 dollars worth (to make that 100% markup) they don't stand on a corner because those people get robbed / arrested. But they expect customers to buy larger amounts.
Though here at least, with dispenseries and legalization, that's all changed.
Ratings matter a lot on these sites. It's also very different being able to choose from many vendors and see all the reviews vs. getting the number from one guy and having no reference point at the time of purchase.
