Black market purchases

I didn't see an intend for this, or is there just not implemented on beta?

Black markets are not only for selling I think they should also offer you some goods (maybe overpriced ones) but things like liquor, narcotics and sometime beer that I've only found on USS.

You can only sell to the black market at this time.... I've not heard of any plans to buy from it.

I see. Its would be logical that you could buy from it. After all someone has to be buying those goods that you are selling

Logical I agree, you'd also expect the black market to come under the commodities menu... sometimes logic falls by the wayside

Generally speaking the only people who buy from black marketeers are end users. For a market to function it must buy low and sell high... and traders follow the same rules, but the black market buys very low so one can assume it sells very high (at least for goods that are in illegal that station) so why would a trader buy from them?

Why?

The station market is for legal stuff, would you expect to buy stolen goods from the likes of Amazon? (IRL) no you'd go to the dodgy dealer down the road.

To take those illegal goods further? I just post it because there are some goods mentioned on my OP that I've never seen on the commodities market

Amazon has private sellers and used stuff, who's to say some of those are not stolen?
