+ 10 THE SECRET to never getting burned by any source
I have been here for three years and have made probably 15-20 orders from mutiple sources and you want to know how I always have recived my product? Ready? Sit back and pay VERY close attention.
HERE WE GO: The secret is, that there is no secret. When all of us decide to order we are taking a risk, I hope its an educated risk but nonetheless, still a risk. There should always be research done on your behalf as a customer before your purchase here are a few tips.
- Read at as many reviews as you can. If no reviews exist because its a new source, use caution. Make sure the reviews you base your opinion on, are valid and thorough reviews.
- Add the source as a friend on here, and ask all the questions you have on your mind before you make a purchase.
- Engage on the SI of a potential source and see what experiences some are willing to share in the open source.
- Dont not place an initial order that is a 1k order instead make a smaller purchase and see if your satisfied.
- Be aware of a source who is back logged but still accepting orders. NEVER order when a multitude of orders are still wanting to be received by other members.
- Finally, if something doesnt feel right about it, go with youe gut.
Following all the steps listed will still not ensure every transaction on here will go smooth but if you do as I have suggested, I believe the chances are slimmer that you wont be left high and dry.
One more thing, be careful of taking money from friends for making a transaction. Nothing ruins a friendship, like a money issue.

Not to bring the Karma thing up again, but for me this is one of the biggest benefits of karma. You stay active in the forums, people get to know you and know that you aren't a phoney, shill, or liar and the sources sure as hell won't selective scam you just because they know you have Eroids credibility.
Just my 2cents.
AnonI agree somewhat but have seen a guy just recently get banned who was a pro tag who was abusing the system and manipulating members by his point level and tag.
Yes there was abuse, and he sucks for shilling up shit, but I bet he wasn't ever scammed by a source after he had that pro tag. Granted, he probably didn't pay for gear ever so the argument is null and void.
AnonAll true!!!!
True its all a risk just make an educated one....You need 2 also have some sort of street smarts know who is fan boying the place what reviews were bought behind the scenes(customer/source emailing ) who gets hooked up 4 all their promoting/defending of source I typically stay away from sources for those very reasons....but then again Im weird LOL
Read its that simple....
AnonI also should add NEVER BUY FROM AN UNVERIFIED SOURCE!!!!!
There are sources out there who are good but are private to stay under rader..
bigwillyDon't let fast shipping and cheap prices suck you in.
AnonGreat advice. Some are easily mislead by cheap product and the gurantee of a fast shipment. +1 for taking the time to read and respond to this post.
bigwillyThx bro. I watch guys go ape shit because they see some one get something in 2 days and pay next to nothing for it. Be for you know it theres guys in line to buy the the shit before anyone has proven the stuff is worth a dam. I like to see at least 6 months worth of consistent good reviews and stories of how the source made things right when there was a problem.
