Title: listings dropping like flies?
Post by: psycho_naut on February 27, 2012, 01:41 am
It seems as though there has been a significant drop in listings lately... the most probable cause is the surge of new buyers (and unfortunately small amount of trusted vendors.) So I'm assuming there was just a swift change in supply and demand... but did I miss a memo or something? I'm likely just paranoid but many of my favorite vendors have no active listings and I'm just trying to make sure there's not a marketplace migration I'm missing out on or tricky LE mind games going on.

I think 1/3 of the cannabis listings disappeared because Variety Jones's seed listings went down

Good point, MagicMan!

It's likely that most pharmaceutical vendors are selling personal scripts or have access to a few scripts... so those quantities are generally limited.

Paranoia strikes again! But hey, paranoia has worked for me so far!

Seeds are usually in the 220 range for listings but right now there is only 7.   :o

Does anyone know if elvis (DMT) or ChillyP (MXE) will return?

I noticed that.  Any word what happened to him?  I placed my order then all of a sudden he drops off.  Got my money and all that back but was disappointed to see all those listings gone.

The LSD section has been really low for awhile now :/ I would expect there to be a lot since there's such a high demand for it, especially for US vendors.

I have noticed this as well - specifically in the opioids section. the number of selections have dropped like 20-30 listings since yesterday!

either that section was enormously popular this past weekend (even more so than usual); or venders have been taking down their listings the past 24 hours.  I can't imagine a dozen different venders all running dry in the exact same time frame. that would be quite a coincidence. and a sad one at that; considering many people, including myself, need their opioids!  :)

quite peculiar

I think it's a influx of new buyers I restocked my entire inventory Friday evening, 80% of it went by Sunday night and I've just got indoors now and I'm totally cleaned out..

I noticed a slight drop as well, but it seems to have went back up now. There are now exactly 420 cannabis listings :)

Pharmville is going to be out for a few more days due to personal issues. But should be back up by Thursday or Friday of this week. That is the hope of most. Then you'll see the opioid section increase listings.

I can totally relate that that mate SR needs better/more/greater Higher Quality LSD products.

I mean where are my LSD laced gummy bears! and other types of lsd laced candy's plus what's with all this weak blotter shit.

I am happy with my current lsd Original Hoffman's 150ug But I know in terms of quality we could have better LSD on the market. Plus I seriously want some 300ug LSD laced gummy bears!! :)

lol....once you do lsd you never see life in the same way ever again.

If SR has created a situation with LE that it can't [or won't] get itself out of and if the honchos decide to bail out, what will happen to all of the bitcoins in escrow and in people's accounts?

I would consider them gone.  In this type of venture consumers shouldn't put more on their account than they're willing to lose.  As vendors shouldn't allow more to go to escrow than they're willing to lose.  I'm sure the DPR would try to distribute coins accordingly if possible...but if shit gets seized...well, shit gets seized.

DPR has said the bitcoin backups are on a separate circuit, and there's a emergency wallet code input option for if the site is forced to go dark.

The influx of new buyers is probably due to all the recent publicity, which is probably also why a lot of vendors are spooked.
