One piece of advise

[mands]

I'm only going to say this once and hopefully those that need to read it do so and get the picture!!!

DO NOT SPEND/SEND MONEY YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE WHEN DEALING WITH ANY SOURCE OR VENTURE.

It's a very simple concept. I try and tell everyone this and guys put their nut sack out on the line hoping everything will turn out okay. It's just not smart.

I concur with this 100% I only use what I call scratch money. Never ever use money that is appropriated for bills household or necessities. I don't ever want to lose money ever but if I lose my scratch money it's not that big of a deal.

I had this happen to me.
I took a couple hund from a dude along with my money.
And got rolled from an overseas place.
no order for 2 months the guy keeps calling me,I give him the news.
he flips and wants to fight.[)]
I tell him ill be over he has never met me!!
Im still laughing as he walks with his tall between his legs.
Thats why I deal with better sources LESSON LEARNED.
Mands well put!!
Nothing is a garentee ,except pussy thats a garentee for me!!

Sounds simple and really it is but a few just don't get it at times.......

30 years in the game and only been ripped off once. I was too stupid to see it even coming because they made it sound soooo good. I don't even blame the theives (anymore); I blame myself

Lots of good sources on this board. If trying a new source use a little money to test out the waters. I like to have about 3 sources because they come and go, they have different selections, also delivery times varies.

This also holds true with everything in life. I see alot of people where I work, make good money for a while, start living paycheck to paycheck, and when it gets slow they are fucked.

Always save and save and then when you have extra money that you could lose and not give a damn if it gets lost, then you can buy shit you dont absolutely need.
Just my .02
I'm hoping I just didn't get fucked on a grand recently, but patiently waiting...
Either way, I wont bitch, or be in a bind. Its all good.

Damn you really worded this perfectly!:notworthy:

I have tried to make this point a couple of times to guys here but it may have come across more like I was defending scammers (def NOT the case!).
I have been in this game quite a while as well, and have seen sources come and go, and seen guys get scammed. I have been very fortunate that I have had a small handful of sources carry me through much of my time in the game, but I am also not SO ARROGANT that I realize that it can happen to any of us at anytime, even with what we consider the most trusted of sources.

point well taken sir.

One shouldn't be pinning unless he has a job and disposable income. Great advice, especially for the younger guys.

I think it should be an expected risk when dealing with anything black market.
