When I was brand new, I gave a free 30mg roxy to the first 20 or so orders. I did it to get regulars. while I have a lot of regulars now, I think that only 1 or 2 are from the batch that I gave a freebie too (so a lot of good that did, lol). I think Nomad said (or someone) that new vendors should send their product to a 3rd party to evaluate. That won't prevent scammers, but it would prove that they at least have some product. I think that all buyers should stay within escrow with new vendors. no questions asked. I cant believe how many new vendors show up and make it a requirement to go out of escrow and a lot of buyers are doing it. Maybe they can afford the loss, but I wouldn't even think of going around escrow with a new vendor.
