So what’s the deal with vendors having identical product menus?

I noticed a lot of vendors have the same pastebin info. Even the comments under the products are the same or close. It seems really fishy. Like maybe there’s 5 or 10 vendors and they go under different names, or it’s a scam period. Is this legit?

There’s a lot of variables here.
Yes, scammers will mimic the real vendors or the authors and that’s how they get away with ripping people off. Having magazines listed in your library that aren’t available anywhere else is usually a red flag to the average reader.
There’s also limitations within the industry, the US vendors that are re shipping magazines from CN authors can only get the tittles that are being printed. If CN ceases to print certain titles, then the US vendors won’t be able to stock those magazines anymore.
Then there’s the variable of supply and demand, the US guys have lead times while the CN authors print and ship the magazines so if there isn’t a big demand for certain titles or categories then they’re going to use their cash flow for the mags they know people will subscribe to.
Is it possible that some vendors are operating multiple libraries? Sure but that seems more of a hassle than it’s worth.
The scam scenario is far more likely in my opinion so as someone else said, make sure to vet the vendor and keep tabs on who you’re subscribing to.
In my opinion the biggest cause of this is simply the availability of titles being printed and shipped into the US is limited, and no one’s going to take a chance on buying inventory of an uncommon title with the possibility of no one subscribing. They wait to see what people are reading before adding them to their library.
 
I highly suspect many of these publishers are sourcing magazines from a larger group of source-connected publishers. Certain magazines get resold by these "reseller" publishers we often encounter at a higher markup. The pastebin formatting, especially the 5hipm3nt d33ts are usually a dead giveaway that the reseller of the magazines got them from the aforementioned larger publisher group. That's just my theory.

Your theory is the correct one. At least with there being so many “resellers” it does result in some prices being lower for certain mags. Some “resellers” also have good deals on a couple products while others have good deals on different products. So it’s worth it to shop around a bit.
 
are prices on the private list of vendors here any better for any items than prices on the onion markets? Just trying to decide whether its worth paying for something that I might already have access to via the T0r Browser and whatnot. :)

That varies wildly by vendor. Only one way to find out 😊

Depends also on mag type as well. Certain genres are significantly cheaper on the onion, while other genres have significantly more variety on the clear.
 
its called resale...they buy from the popular kid and then raises the prices on their menus....trickle down econmics..drug addict style lmao

  1. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: I donated and I forgot how to get the password. I am a moron. Don't worry I have no plans on becoming a vendor with my stupidity
  2. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: @st1ckyf1ng4z you're right of course. But being able to purchase with a debit card on a clearnet site with quality labs and low prices will be gone.
  3. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: Especially if they’re using mitragynine as the parent alk to make substitutes. I think it will affect plain leaf too at the very least it will not be as available as it’s been.
  4. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan @nameofuser11 That’s wild. But basic supply/demand tho, right? In my area all the leaf has been pulled off shelves,
  5. J @ j00ciiez: It sucks they're banning sr17. It seems to be a holy grail for many ppl.
  6. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: To clarify plain leaf kratom is not a part of this ban. Mitragynine might be fine. 7, psuedo,mgm15 and sr1708 are what are on the table to be banned most likely but hopefully just regulated.
  7. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z and yes , there are already indole alkoloids with tweaked scaffolding ready to take the place of 7/mgm, all with mitragynine as their parent alkoloid. The game of wack a mole starts the minute 7 is officially banned. Its 2013 K2 all over
  8. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan Also, it’s just a matter of time before another alternative pops up on the market anyway….
  9. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan I couldn’t agree more, bro. It’s fucked up. I recognize prices will rise, but it will always be available…. Stock up now while you can at least if you’re preferred read is opiates. As an ex-fentanyl addict I won’t ever touch any of that shit again. I remember when I started to see 7oh pop up, I knew it was going to end like this but I can understand getting rid of 7oh/mgm-15/16. With that being said, they should leave plain leaf alone!
  10. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z oh trust, i know that, im helping a pretty big vendor transition, to here and dnm , but prices are going to rise bc of risk. But availability is only part of this whole kratom alks situation. We have a serious problem with society. Last year alcohol killed 178,000 people, last year all other drugs combined killed 69,973 Out of those 38,084 were from opiate/opioids and out of those 0 were killed by 7oh. With these numbers we can see the problem with banning 7oh
  11. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Hell i remember when getting 25g of aphip was like 200$ or so
  12. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Dude wants $150 for 5g... I told him nahh doggy cmon.
  13. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Man im tryin to get this one kat to come off that apvp for 75$
  14. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Cant wait to get the apvp in
  15. token @ token: Afternoon everyone! Hope their day or night has been good!
  16. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: We need to takj bro
  17. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: @RiftChems Hey man PM me
  18. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: why does tails always act stupid at stupid times
  19. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan @nameofuser11 @RiftChems @moai Just because they’re “banning/scheduling” something, doesn’t mean it’s not gonna be available. If you know where to look, it won’t be a problem.
  20. T @ theweedman: hellooo everyone! hola! salut!
