I kept away from Sheep Marketplace and Black Market Reloaded for the following reasons:  --- Sheep Marketplace is too commercial. It reminds me of Atlantis too much, and Atlantis was simply trying to cash in on Silk Road's surplus.  --- Black Market Reloaded is more thought-out and better established, but doesn't hold the same principles as Silk Road did. Weapons can be bought on there, and although for many this is a good thing, for my own personal ethics, beliefs and morals, it is not. Having said this, competition IS good. It's healthy. It helps keep marketplaces on their toes and prompts them to improve what they offer and to reinforce their unique selling points (for Silk Road, this selling point was not the drugs, it was the freedom and community). I was involved in a now-defunct spinoff following Silk Road's demise, which decided to fold its efforts to make way for this very project here. I believe this project to be the most genuine and true-to-the-cause to have sprung up since Silk Road fell. Of course, as others have said, time will tell.
