Has anyone had experience with alexander68 http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/5fd4a621a2, he has cocaine listings ranging from 1g to 1 kilo at very attractive prices, I've only found one post about him from xman_wolverine (this was his first and last post) two months ago:
I haven't been here long, but long enough to fall in love with the place...my favorite vendor so far is Alexander68.
alexander68 is requesting FE on all coke orders, to quote his coke listings:
This is some of the best yay I have ever had. I almost don't want to sell it:) If it does well here there will be a constant supply. Because of our strict stealth packaging procedures it takes a little bit of time to get the package sent. We will be requiring early finalization for each order. Once the finalization occurs the packaging will begin. We will try to get each order in the mail within 48 hours, but please be patient as we are striving to make each package as undetectable as possible so we are not going to rush. The object being to get the package to you. We will not be able to do full refunds unless we have done at least 2 transactions with you in the past without any problems. Reshipments the same.And please don't ask for samples...we would be sampled right out of business!! You won't find better prices or higher quality on the Silk Road. Just so we can get the reviews we are going to offer a little something extra for our first ten customers...if you purchase 1 gram, we will send you 1.5 grams ; if you purchase 3.5 grams we will send you 4.5 (one full extra gram); if you purchase 5 grams we will send you 6.5 (an extra gram and a half) and if you purchase 10 grams we will send you 13 grams! THIS OFFER IS ONLY FOR OUR FIRST TEN CUSTOMERS!!!!!
IMPORTANT: We require early finalization on all cocaine orders********* shipment will be packaged and sent only upon notice of early finalization.
***UPDATE**** : On the cocaine listings...our promo giveaway in down one...our first customer just came through. Now the promo is only good for the next nine customers!!! Better hurry!!! :)
...now 8
for an update on where we are with the promo please message us. Too time consuming to go back and update all of our listings. Thank you:)
I'd never FE, I can't help feeling skeptical along the lines of 'once the finalisation occurs the scamming will begin', but I don't know there's a chance he could be legit too, I'd like to hear some thoughts on this.

Haven't ordered from him before but he seems to require FE on pretty much everything. From another product page:
We require early finalization unless we have done at least 3 transactions with you without any problems. Thank you for your business.
For a guy with 14 orders and prices that are that motivating... I would just wait. So far my experience on the road has been that the best deal is usually the worst :)

Hi PrincessHIGH, Trust those skeptical feelings IMO. If a vendor is truly legit, they will embrace the use of SR's Escrow system like many other top vendor's on SR do. DPR set this up to help protect both parties during a transaction. If we follow his guidelines on using his site, each and everyone of us will minimize any risks we have of being scammed. FE is simply taking a huge risk when the truth is, it's a risk that doesn't have to be taken at all. I never get lulled into a vendor's rhetoric. While they may be truthful in what they post, I prefer a vendor who "over delivers and under promises" as to one who "under delivers and over promises". In other words, actions speak louder than words. If a vendor's as good as they claim to be, then things will take care of themselves. Through their feedback and reviews here on the Forum, buyers will continue to buy if a vendor's claims are indeed true. :)

Thank-you everyone, in most cases FE with a new vendor or with a vendor who has a low amount of transactions never has a happy ending, even the picture looks low res and weird, the coke looks grey to me. This is not looking promising, to quote alexander68's vendors page:
Again: It has been brought to our attention that we cannot REQUIRE our customers to finalize early, but we do politely ask that you do on our cocaine listings. Thank you very much and happy shopping:)
Gathering by his tone he's still requesting FE before reaching the required 35 successful transactions which is in direct violation of the seller's guide.
NOTICE: If you are a new vendor, you may not ask your customers to finalize their orders and release payment to you before you ship, a practice known as "finalizing early". If you do this, you will lose your selling priviledges. Once you have completed 35 successful transactions and have been a seller for at least one month, you may ask your customers to finalize early without reprocussion. In no way do we support finalizing early in general and this rule should not be construed as support for finalizing early for more established vendors.
Violating the rules is a big red light for me. This stinks of scam and I'm going to avoid it like the plague. I have solid go to vendors for coke and I'm more than satisfied with the quality they provide, I'm just putting it out there to see if anyone's got any success stories to tell or to unfortunately start another scam thread. I hope for anyone who decides to go for this it works out well.

I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole ;)

messaged him saying i would place an order for a gram listing as long as he let me stay in escrow, and if the quality was up to par with other vendors than i would go ahead and place an order for a half oz. If, and only if, he once again allowed me to stay in escrow. I sent him a copy of my purchase stats to see if this would help him feel more comfortable staying in escrow ( seems weird to me why it would be uncomfortable to go out of escrow, it is used for both of our protection) for my order..
we'll see how he responds and what he does, otherwise i would stay away from this vendor cause it looks like a complete scam to me... hopefully he comes through and it works out though... with those prices and with escrow, as long as it is quality he would have many long term customers.

Good thinking guys please keep us updated :)

Good one. I am looking forward to the reply too.

I contacted alexander68 last weekend to ask what shipping options he offers and he responded pretty quick and said orders will be sent via standard mail. With prices that low for pure flake I was really tempted to jump on the offer too, but after seeing this thread last Sun I decided I better wait & keep an eye on the feedback for a few days...
So I guess everyone who did FE for the flake in the last 5-7 days are either waiting on their order to arrive, or they havent gone back to update their reviews yet. I suspect this could be due in part in the listings about how long it will take to ship:
Because of our strict stealth packaging procedures it takes a little bit of time to get the package sent. We will be requiring early finalization for each order. Once the finalization occurs the packaging will begin. We will try to get each order in the mail within 48 hours, but please be patient as we are striving to make each package as undetectable as possible so we are not going to rush.
Every SR vendor I've ever dealt with provides some sort of stealth shipping, and they're usually able to get things processed & shipped on the same day. hopefully it's all legit with Alexander and we'll see some great reviews from the early buyers real soon

nah nothin, he read it and didnt respond.

you are all thinking what i'm thinking!!
and what's also funny, is i pm'd him on SR with no response too.. hasn't even read it!!
damn!! cuz those are some bomb prices!!
-
Please ignore Alexander 68 there have been posts by others in newbie section about him
I ain't no Nostradamus but he will be banned sooner rather than later

I took one look at those prices and laughed.
If it's too good to be true then you can bet your last bitcoin this will not end well for those tempted to FE.

If you want a laugh just read through his old feedback. Can't believe people actually ordered stuff from this guy even on some of his bigger product offerings. The words scam, never got anything, lies, ripped off are all pretty frequently used once you get past the FE Will Update crap in the front. Part of me feels bad for the people getting taken but really... new vendor, FE for all orders, prices too good to be true... did they really think they happened across the best dealer on SR?

i truly think only a small percentage of buyers AND vendors actually use the forums!! people don't realize that the forums are the other half of SR!! it's like a symbiotic relationship, one cannot survive without the other!!
there needs to be a *we highly recommend you join the forums* on the news section of SR.. just my opinion ;)

Right you are, brother.. I didnt find my way to the forums til after I got burned a couple times buying shitty coke from vendors that "sounded" good, etc... That's when I realized there's a lot more to getting the 411 on vendors than just relying on buyers feedback, product listings, etc... Pictures may be worth 1000 words in some cases, but thats not always the case here..
-
Looks like Alexander68's coke listings are gone, poof, but unfortunately a bunch of buyers money vanished too for all those that FE'd.. I hope Karma comes back to bite that scammer in the ass, lowlife scum be gone...
-
I remember seeing his listings last month and then after I looked at the feedback and saw every single one said "FE" i kind of just laughed too. I'm surprised anyone fell for that. But I also agree there should be a banner on the homepage urging people to use the forums as well. If not to write anything at least to read others' reviews. That simple thing can save hundreds of people money and sanity.
