It's like the Amazon for any and all contraband.

I read what it is...your saying it like you just ordered some stuff from there the other day.

No, but i have read multiple articles about it. It seems like it is as efficient to use as Amazon is. Just load your items into your cart and check out. The sheer amount of contraband along with the anonymity and ease of purchasing, makes me a little apprehensive. Anyone being able to purchase these items, does not seem like a great idea to me.

Apparently you can even hire hit-men from the site.

Been following them for a while and boy I'm stupid for not buying bitcoins a while back when they were so cheap I never dreamed they would go up so much.

I don't think i am tech savvy enough to locate the marketplace.

+1 on missing out on the cheap bitcoins.

I know a few people who buy "contraband" from there. Very cool!
and +100 for not picking up BTC's when they were pennies.

I thought the transfer of bitcoins was untraceable, hear it says they follow the money?
