Title: Why do vendors go hard for 3-6 months then go missing?
Post by: tolly on November 24, 2012, 06:42 pm
Im an Aussie buyer and find myself having a great ongoing relationship with a few local vendors who stock my drug of choice. Then without warning they just vanish after 3 to 6 months of selling heaps of stock. Ive never been ripped off by this or anything, more confused and a also a bit worried for their welfare.

    Is it just a matter of they fear the cops will target them because they are doing so much turnover that they get in and get out? If they can successfully sell for 6 months without being busted why not go for a year, is it paranoia?  Or have they made that much money they have opened a legal business an SR has served its purpose?  Is it Matrix thats been going for ages? He and his team dont seem concerned, just going from strength to strength.

Vendors who just sell weed seem to last longest, is that because they think cops are more likely to target meth and hammer sellers?

  I know this is all speculation but Id be interested to hear some vendors opinions. I dont sell so I cant know your mind set but isnt the SR method of selling pretty foolproof and something you could do for years non stop (fingers crossed we last that long) with little chance of prosecution?

Dude why are you quoting me and then putting your reply in the same box as if I wrote it. Are you pretending to be retarded because your a cop? did you name youself after Charlie Sheen about 8 months too late after people stopped saying 'winning'. Your a cop, dont reply to my threads.
ANYONE else got any ideas on the subject as vendors themselves?

THEIR A A FEW REASONS
1 they realize too much work, its really hard work to keep u with lots of orders, packing, shipping, not to mention the btc to deal with
2 made enough money and heat is on when they deal outside of  sr with customers
3 they got caught\?
4 burnt out
5 there are lots of real reasons i named a few in 3 min.

Add to the list that they went stealth and they are there but you didn't relize it.

I would bet on vacation / changing vendor name to throw off the heat.

Happens to a lot of meth vendors because their grip on their addiction slips.  Just can't keep it together enough to not fuck everything up, eventually.  Heisenburg, Starlight Express, Professor Twak, etc..  Most people who use regularly end up with that one drug they just can't seem to keep their grip on, you know.  Don't have to be selling meth to spin out of control.

I loved PTwak and SE, by the way -- I mean no insult to them, but it is what it is.

LOL... your drug of choice or something?   I've been a tweaker for years and I intend on dying one, so don't take this the wrong way -- but c'mon man.  It has to be said that meth sinks its nails in and for some people, doesn't ever let go.  I mean just because I like it more than I hate it, and that I'm holding on just as tight to meth as it is to me, doesn't mean I don't recognize that for some people it's an uncontrollable and lethal addiction.

Not as bad as they say, but it still destroys some people's lives.  That's pretty hard to argue with.  Though any drug can be an uncontrollable and lethal addiction to somebody...

Probably because they get cocky and then fuck up somehow, ending up either dead, in jail, or on the run.

What really happens is they find a few loyal private buyers who are getting bulk and then just deal with them exclusively as it's easier and safer.
If you have a good source, there's gonna be a guy who wants to buy on a reg basis. I'm a vendor here, using a stealth account as all vendors should to prevent FBIz profiling, I sold here for a few months then went private.

I still use the system to make deals, using the escrow. But the listings are hidden that's prob what happened to those guys
