Some starports offer a '''black market'''. This is additional to the [[Commodities Market]] and is the only place where [[Stolen Goods|stolen goods]] and/or [[Illegal Goods|illegal goods]] can be traded.
 
The black market can be found in the '''contacts menu''' of starport services, but only where it is available – not every starport supportshas a black market. It can also disabled by local tradeauthorities. To find out whether specific station has thea (active) black market, open [[System Map|system map]], select the station and check if ''Black Market'' is listed under the ''Facilities ''entry. You can also find systems with black markets in the [[Galaxy Map]] - select ''Services'' in the Map View Configuration and then'' Black Market''.
 
Prices on the black market can vary greatly, depending on the goods and system. Generally the black market takes a percentage of 25% off of the normal commodity prices. For example, if a station offers you 1,000,000 CR per [[Low Temperature Diamonds|Low Temperature Diamond]], the black market will offer 750,000 credits.
 
Carrying [[Stolen Goods|stolen goods]] and/or [[Illegal Goods|illegal goods]] can be a dangerous pastime. Authorities, and other players, will often scan the cargo of ships to see if they are carrying any [[Stolen Goods|stolen]] and/or [[Illegal Goods|illegal goods]]. Being cargo scanned whilst carrying such items may incur a bounty, or a fine from the starport authorities.
