What goods are sold on the black market?

Answer 1

There are hundreds upon hundreds of items sold on the Black Market. However, items that are often sold are drugs, and military weapons.

Other items include bongs, bootleg CD's, DVD's, and Computer Software.

Answer 2

Goods commonly sold on the black market include illegal drugs, counterfeit goods, stolen merchandise, weapons, and illicit wildlife products. These items are traded outside the official economy and often involve illegal activities.

Answer 3

Nearly everything. The Black Market market comes into both law and economics.

A short list here should give you an example of the overlap:

-Pirate Videotapes/Dvds/Blueray

-Counterfeit Money, Clothes, Watches

-Pirate Games

-Pornography

-Perscription drugs *

Generally, items which are legally transfered in usual open commerce can get into The Black Market. Prices are higher or lower, because they are outside of the usual and public open markets. In general, Black Markets exist because the consumers are not 'happy' with the market equilibrium price for those items or the state control of the commerce.

After that summary, a Nobel Prize in Ecomomics, and thirty years research and publication might get a better understanding.

Basically, Black Markets exists where the open public and state controlled markets simply do not meet the consumer demands.

Another Answer:

One does not really agree with the implicite definition of 'black market'; the listings in the short list are all contraband or patently illegal substances; items in clear contravention of copyright law or other catagorical statutory law.

The Black Market is a nonlegal market of generally legal substancies which for some reason, usually, known only to Nobel Laurates, has a cultural and economic intereplay outside of and dispite the existence of the usual open and public market.

(It does not appear that there are any black markets in the US; although this is seriously subject to learned conflict. Black markets almost never exist in hyperinflation. They are a function of a seriously imperfect marketplace.)

*A strickly illegal substance cannot be sold on the Black Market. Just a personal analysis of Black Markets; Please see discussion.

I just saw where even human bodies and organs are sold on the Black Market.
