I just made my account yesterday, i have watched multiple friends of mine succesfully use this site and i would like to get where they are eventually i know it will take a while but i would really like to do it right. So i was wondering if anyone has any tips for me. I would like to get my rep up and become a trusted member and i was wondering how to go about that. i dont want to order anything quite yet but i would love to talk to people and get to know them. Also when i do start ordering i want to do it perfectly so i dont get fucked over. If you guys have any tips it would be awsome. thanks guysThe fact that you are not in a desperate hurry to make your first order is already an excellent move on your part. You need to take your time and read, research and ask questions if there if is something you don't understand. Putting in some effort to research and understand what you are doing will go a long way. There is very little more irritating than someone setting up a new account, and demanding to be spoon-fed, so they can make a purchase in the next day or so. Back in the day, it was not uncommon for people to lurk, research and read for a month (or even two) prior to making their first order. These days, you see far too many people setting up an account and wanting to order within the first 24-48 hours. They're not willing to invest any time or effort in learning the ropes -- if you're not like them, and take the time and effort to learn, you'll be way ahead.
