+1 Mr. Chill. I'm sure Windy City Traders had nothing but good intentions with this thread and I doubt he was paid off as you speculated. However, new customers should exercise caution when buying from any vendor. Read their profile, feedback, reviews on the forums and maybe even PM them if you have a legitimate question i.e. (Do you ship on Saturdays?). For first time buyers, my recommendation is to find a vendor with the product you are looking for that transacts within escrow. Not only so you can avoid getting scammed, but also so you get used to the process. You really shouldn't FE for your first purchase on Silk Road.
