Anyone remember those forums where open drug dealing went on and you paid with paypal/WU from before the darknet days? opreview, ratethesource (bleh) and so on?

Farmers Market, bookworm(club?). It took me a long time to get access to these markets back in the day. Nowhere as easy as today. Finding these hidden sites was a real adventure.

Was bookworm a drug market

I don't really remember exactly. I know that I got access to it via asking certain questions via the contact formular of a website and then was contacted by an admin having some more smalltalk and finally recieved an invitation link. It was kind of a hidden forum with a wide range of sellers and topnotch prices. I remember a hugh variety of drugs and (obscure) RC's. I think the board closed in 2010 and I have only be a member for some months.

Cool, I think those original markets were paramount to what we have today
