Anarcho47 won't shut up but he is a fucking n00b scammer
Most of his "transactions" are $1 for shipping. He is totally padding his feedback. He has only actually shipped like 6 things unless those are fake.
His page claims 40 but it is fucking bullshit.
STAY AWAY
totally acts like scammer, expect him to disappear any day now.

and who are you exactly?
I'm not sure about other people but my experience with Anarcho47 was quite positive
-
Let's keep it civil people.
$1 shipping as a separate transaction does rub me the wrong way a little. Can anyone confirm this?
-
i can vouch for him. and charging an extra fee for international orders does not seem like anything strange, i just looked and a small percentage of his feedbacks are the international shipping fee. i see nothing fishy there.
-
It looks like he makes shipping an extra transaction on ALL orders, even domestic - but his stuff is offline now so I can't be sure. Acarcho47 will stop by shortly - I'm sure.
-
It'd be quite nice for him to stop by.
-
I just got out of a pretty good discussion with him. Seemed like a good egg to me. I wouldn't call somebody a scammer just because of padding feedback. It could be a 'red flag' and something to note, but doesn't necessarily mean a scammer...Like other sellers, he just dislikes the feedback system. I haven't heard of him scamming anybody...
-
Sounds like a hater to me
-
I can assure everyone Anarcho47 is not a scammer. He is an asset to Silk Road. He only charges separate shipping for international orders. His product is very legit and I got a bit more than what I ordered. He responded to all of my questions very quickly, has great deals, and super stealthy packaging. I could not disagree with the top post more. I will be doing future business with Anarcho47 no doubt.

Did you really register just to post this?
-
Wow, strong claims being risen against a well known name, he lurks here a lot, i bet he will be he to settle this the old fashion way...
Duel to the death!!!!
-
I cant speak for his product or listings (haven't ordered) but guy has been very quick to help me out with some SR related issues. Not very indicative of a scammer....but I have been wrong before.
-
Unless you've been ripped off, or can convince us you know he's done this, then you made an error, and should apologize. Starting a thread on sellers--or buyers--is fine, happens all the time, and sometimes, by the end of the thread, they *do* appear to be scammers. But to just brand somebody without any evidence is wrong and hurtful. How would you like it if somebody said you only had one post on here, and you're trying to spread dissent, so you must be LE! Not a nice thing to do, and we should show restraint when we speak of others.
-
I'm here, I'm here.
Seems to have been a busy couple of hours reviewing me. Thanks for all the attention lol.
I am not a scammer. I don't have an extra listing for international shipping, only US (I only ship to US and Canada). The reason I DO have an extra listing for US shipping is because the shipping costs alone are between 4x and 10x the domestic costs, and I have to take a few extra security precautions to make it past the slew of parasites in US customs. I also request that my customers SPECIFICALLY MENTION my shipping in the US shipping addon they purchase - this is to alleviate potential buyer concerns about shipping cross-border to the US (it's not as though my product is tiny like an LSD blotter), and build confidence in my shipping methods.
ScamWatch, I could almost classify you as medically insane for making this your very first post on the SR forums (welcome to the family?)... As far as I am concerned you have absolutely zero credibility here. I have a history in these forums and was one of the first to sign up. I post often and try to contribute to the community as much as I can. To me, you are either someone planning on buying a seller account and attempting to compete with my product line so you are trying to scare off potential customers, LE who wants to tear his hair out when he reads my customers rave about quality non-overlord-approved products slipping past the nets of the all-powerful demigods, or perhaps you were the person who was angry with me for posting a competing listing in that forum post about mushrooms. Maybe the "etiquette" isn't perfect, but business is business and the customer wins when we flock to earn their money. P.S. Balls help in business. You should try them.
If you read my profile page I lay all of this stuff out pretty clearly. I am in vacation mode because I have over 30 orders IN TRANSIT right now (was 40 two days ago, they have already started clearing). I do a pretty brisk trade in the f2f world and SR started off as just an experiment for me. I wasn't expecting it to take off so fast, and as such did not devote as much of my float to this venture. I'm letting things settle out for a few days and letting some orders clear. I have not had a single transaction go bad, and that's including a few packages that got hung up in the strike and were not delivered for FORTY DAYS. That alone should speak to my shipping methods as the product I carry reeks like holy hell and to have it sit around for a month and not be noticed is pretty awesome in and of itself.
Like I said, for this being your first post I am next to certain you are somebody who might be competing with me, or someone I may have pissed off. Contrary to popular belief, not all Canadians are apathetic noodles weighing 120 pounds and some of us possess spinal cords. Either way, you can see by the number of posts after your ridiculous claim that the community knows me, recognizes me, and my customers stand by me because I try to go above and beyond what my listings promise. Hell, I even have an "out of escrow" lsiting just so that my customers can still post feedback on transactions that aren't even protected by SR. Good sir, I just reek of scammer!
This kind of tactic might work on preschoolers where you come from, but as you can see by the above these fine folks are a few decades beyond your intellectual development. Try eating more antioxidants, I hear they're great for curing idiocy, and also help with brain tumors (see intellectual capacity note). Oh, and reading is good too (just don't read anything pro-socialism because that will fuck you up even worse than you already are)......
Grow up and get the fuck out of here unless you can find something better to do.

For the record, Phubaiblues, your comment about restraint was posted while I was writing mine, and I was too into the message to start over again.........................

I'm here, I'm here.
i told you he lurks... ::)
-
I don't think OP is LE...more like another vendor whos watching his competition pretty closely.
Manipulating the feedback system = scamming?
I don't think buyers care unless he is ripping them off, and he doesn't seem to be doing that.
Creative Marketing Solutions?
Maybe he didn't read the TOS..oh wait..

It wouldn't have mattered: you're fine. You were just defending an attack on your character, and this guy was way out of line.
-
Yeah now is there any way to get SR to close off this topic so it drops to obscurity at the bottom of the forums.... A lot of people just read forum topics and my name and the word "scammer" in the same sentence is bad enough.
What an idiot. one post lol.
-
ScamWatch is a troll but he was on the old forum also (at least a guy with the same name). He is not always wrong but he is always a jerk. Don't worry anarcho47 it is good publicity people coming to your defense.
I think Sellers who post a lot on the forum are more trustworthy because they have sunk in more time.
Quick question -did he post before you went on vacation or after? - that got me a tiny bit paranoid before I thought about it.
-
I went on vacation 2 days ago, and clearly stated my reasons for doing so (as well as messaged inquiring customers at the time to that effect).
This was just an experiment for me, as I do a pretty good business in the f2f world. So I didn't have a specific float set aside for SR, which in turn pissed off some of my local customers. I am waiting to wash all of this money so I can purchase product specifically and only for selling on here, and I have so much product out there I need to give it through the end of the week to finalize and clean some of these funds.
I guess you're right about "any publicity". It's still garbage being called out for trying to make US buyers more comfortable purchasing from me (100% success rate so far).
-
Troll or not...he is right in a way.
Its obvious you've ended up padding your feedback with your shipping scheme. Whether that is unintentional or not who can say for sure?
Maybe you are a genius..I could probably rack up 10 maybe 11 transactions per shipment if I just charge for shipping in $0.25 increments.
Whos to say if an out of escrow listing for feedback is genuine or not? There is a lot of potential for abuse there.
-
Prove is in the pudding....where's my pudding dommot?
-
Ya, calling him a scammer is way out of line.
Buyers are obviously getting what they bought.

Awww shit ScamWatch! You just got served son! Hahaha

anarcho47 is one of the most legit vendors on this site. I received my product at the other end of the continent after only 6 days, even despite the backlog. His shipping was extremely discreet, safe, and professional(those who have ordered from him know what I am talking about), the product weighed in 1.2 grams heavy and was potent as hell. Definitely the smoothest transaction I have carried out here, I can't recommend him enough.
-
this guy is 100% legit...will order from him again

Very true, but I'll explain my setup so you can see the rationale to what I do:
When I first started out I was pretty nervous about shipping to the US, even though I saw on here that I could beat most US organic vendor prices. I knew there was definitely a market for US sales, but I did a bunch of domestic transactions first to nail down my shipping methods. Meanwhile I was researching the best ways to ship internationally and trying to glean as much information from experienced vendors as I could (you know, lurking in the forums.........).
Anyway, shipping costs are a lot higher to the US from here than anything domestic (the way I package keeps the shipping costs down domestically, but they can be many times higher for the same package to US). So instead of creating a shitload of extra listings on the same product base with a higher price, I just added a "US Shipipng Addon" listing, which all US customers are instructed to purchase. It is not $1.00, it's roughly 1 BTC ($13) which is about what it costs to package properly for customs and pay for the higher shipping price, thus keeping my margin at what I consider to be fair levels and and making it easier for me to track my business. You can easily see which orders are the shipping addon in my feedback, as I instruct my buyers to specifically mention the US shipping in that feedback section.
As to the out-of-escrow transactions, I have only done 2 of them so far, and I figured it should count for feedback. I even had a guy last week buy an out-of-escrow listing when he hadn't actually sent me funds or purchased anything, saying he was high or some shit and just buying random .01 BTC orders. I cancelled it, and sent him a message saying I only take feedback if he actually bought something. I figure I should have the opportunity to get feedback for transactions outside of the SR escrow protection and that that feedback is worth even more than feedback for regular transactions. My buyers are also instructed to make a full post in the forums in my review topic about the fact they bought outside of escrow and how it went.
I don't think this should be classed as "padding my feedback". I guess it could, but for me it just makes my orders a lot easier to manage and saves me having to double up all of my listings at two different prices and then split product availability between them (and constantly adjust quantity based on how many Canadian versus US buyers happen to purchase that week) - this way I know what I have and I know where it's going.
Is everybody clear now?
Thanks, customers, for sticking up for me. I try to do my best by you guys.

Here's that dude who tried to buy out-of-escrow for no reason. Like I'm a fucking scammer, I didn't even let him get away with this.
ScamWatch? Was this you? lol.

re: Out-of-escrow order
Fair enough, except you dont' get any feedback as a buyer......
I like to do things honestly. I'm an anarcho-capitalist. My word is all I've got (until people get my product).
As such, I will be cancelling the order, because I don't want feedback unless it is genuine.
Enjoy your trip/high/etc :) Maybe I can contribute to that at some point.

You guys are fucking sheep.
Arachno is NOT an established seller. Don't be stupid. .
Does this sound like a scam?
He is new on Silk Road.
He lists zero cost items (feedback from other sites? Bullshit that is called FAKE feedback)
He talks out of his ass.
He gets double numbers with shipping.
He lies about his sales.
He sells a lot and then goes on vacation.
You guys want give him thousands of dollars. Fine.
What walks like and scam and talks like a scam?
I don'd give a fuck if he is a scammer or not. Look at his actions.
-
Well if you don't give a shit if he is or not, I'm locking this thread. If anyone wants to give negative feedback/experience with anarcho47, feel free to start another thread with actually accounts of vendor issues.
