New to DNM's haveen't bought anything yet, certain vendors i feel confident ordering from from reviews and ratings etc, but seeeing 100+ all the way up to 500 open orders makes me suspect to maybe them trying to commit a rug pull? obviously most vendors are forced into escrow until buyers finializes order meaning they recieved product but what if a big vendor that has FE were to lets say 500+ orders in the value in of potentially 500,000 to 1,000,000 in orders waiting to being finalzied is there potential for them to rug pull the community and disappear? am i being too paranoid? really don't wnat to waste any money and OPSEC over everything else.

Kinda depends on the vendor/substance. I remember seeing EGG get to something like 300+ open orders once when all the other go-to #4 players were on vacation/out of stock. That said I'd be less comfortable to handwave demand/supply issues for FE vendors.

Dude here Is some really valuable advice lol.

IGNORE market reviews. Only go off reviews from here. You will never get fucked this way.

Buy off people that are heavily vouched for on here. Make sure they are recommended by many and you will be fine. There Is main vendors for everything figure out who they are on here and buy

A large number of open orders by itself isn't proof that anything is wrong. High-volume sellers often have many orders in progress at any given time. That said, no online marketplace or seller is risk-free, so it's reasonable to be cautious and avoid assuming that past reputation guarantees future reliability.

learned this the hard way I think a lot of ddw reviews are bought faked or made by stupid ppl just excited they didn't get robbed..

I've had to ballet some reputable vendors over the most utter petty shit.... I see a lot get fe status an abuse the shit out of it...
