Darknet markets? Amazing quality, safety and customer support with literally 0 regulations. Sorry but thats a failed argument

There are scams on DNMs. But there are also high quality vendors. And there are also scams that are part of regulated markets. So yeah still failed argument.

  Sure but the feedback system works well enough to weed them out quite fast. When people get burned they learn, big papa gov regulations prevents learning. Darknet markets are the best example of self regulating markets. Its truly amazing and it doesn't get enough credit Of course most are run or acquired by intelligence agencies eventually....

    Pure bovine excrement. Scammers can change their identity at will on the darknet.

      Trustworthy vendors rely on their reputation. They usually value it a lot. So what if they do? They have to start again from 0 (usually).Its also very easy to avoid them...

        Scammers only care about ripping you off. And the darknet is the ideal environment for them.

        How come darknet markets work extremely well then? Some people value steady profits much more than a one time scam.

        How come darknet markets work extremely well then? How do you know they do --- have you done a survey? Some people value steady profits much more than a one time scam. Why do some people become criminals instead of getting a nice steady job? Maybe because it is more profitable and requires minimal effort. And lots of scams aren't "one time".
        eldenwrong 4y ago
        Because millions of people use them and the feedback is mostly positive? Because where there is demand there is supply. Pot sellers were criminals once now they are businessman You think buying from a well known anonymous user with months/years of reviews will result in a "scam"?

Safety? Customer support? Really? What do you do if you're scammed on the darknet? Let me guess --- nothing because you can't identify who you're dealing with or where they are located.

  Yes? The quality of products is millions of times higher than in the streets. Everything gets continually tested by a lot of people. Entire forums dedicated to weed out bad sellers and identity good products .. Yeah, sellers are usually super responsive and will normally fix any issue if you are polite and abide by the rules. Ummm what exactly do you do if you are scammed in real life? Go to the police and file a complaint that will never go anywhere? Lol Or you mean if in the real world you get scammed by a company? Can YOU really start a lawsuit? What amount of money are we talking about? 10k,100k, 1m?

    What amount of money are we talking about? 10k,100k, 1m? Zero. Lot of lawyers searching for clients with a legitimate legal case. They get a portion of what they win.

      I meant how much money you got scammed for. Lets say you bought a phone from Craigslist and its a fake one, what do you do? You sent a guy a wire for a collectors item and he sends you a box of rocks? What do you do? There's so many ways that you can get scammed in the real world without recourse. What's happening here is that you have a preconceived notion of "darknets markets bad"

        You sent a guy a wire for a collectors item and he sends you a box of rocks? I have bought and sold on Craigslist. This is not how it works --- unless you're stupid. What's happening here is that you have a preconceived notion of "darknets markets bad" Yes. People choose to operate on the darknet instead of craigslist for a reason --- usually because they are doing something illegal. And scamming people is one of these illegal things.
