Libertas,
is it common practice for a moderator to tell vendors that there scammers? to tell customers to shy away from vendors? As you can already tell, by just simply browsing a few pages a day, you are not liked, at all. This guys 2700$ machine will bring quite the SR commission, as your in a paid position let me give you a little back ground you may have heard before...dont bite the hand that feeds you, got it?
You won't get a rise out of me, sellitall99. Sorry.
To answer your question, no it is not common practice for a Silk Road forum moderator to tell a Silk Road marketplace vendor that they are a scammer - nor have I done that, if you read above. I am not here to protect vendors, I am here to protect the community. If you read anything that I wrote in the previous posts you would see the reasons that I believe this item being listed is a bad idea. If it is indeed genuine then it will remove the vendor's anonymity - as the vendor has sold illegal products previously, this is not something they should desire. If it is not genuine, then a buyer will lose $2,764. It is a lose-lose situation.
The commission on a $2764 sale would be $64.96 - I'm not sure that would count as "quite the SR commission" but thanks for your concern about my finances.
