I finally got pack hounds so I went to Cupisii to test my Phantom's loadout (and pilot's skills 
).
I left Foale Station, got into SC, a Type-7 with 130T of LTDs was 7th or 8th contact that appeared on the list. Interdiction, drives off, ram-to-stop, got 96T of LTDs (forgot to replace class 5 scoop with cargo rack at the station), off to sell. Visited several stations with black market, the highest price I got was 82k per T. So I earned less than 8M.
I went back to Cupisii, AspX with 35T of LTDs was 5th contact on the list. I was too happy on pack hounds, so the prey didn't make it through the stopping procedure.
It seems, however, that finding a good prey and stealing stuff is not a problem.
But how to find a good place to sell it...?

Let’s just say that you don’t do it for the money!
But seriously: you can normally find a best sell station on inara that will give you around 400k on the black market, maybe 300k with the recent rebalance.
What we really should have by now is ships that carry other high value minerals such as void opals - fdev??

the highest paying station for legal LTD and a black market - you'll get 75% of what you get for legal LTD. .. or, if interested, i can set up a buyorder on my FCs blackmarket and cut you a good price ;-) are there actually FC out there providing that service?I finally got pack hounds so I went to Cupisii to test my Phantom's loadout (and pilot's skills

Private Courier services can have some decent stuff in em.
Those tend to be elite level and tricky to disable and stop.
Just robbed a Keelback in medium security system. Police popped in, I triggered silent running, they didn't find me and left after a short while. The Keelback had several types of stuff, still worth pennies.
Then I got Type-7, competent and wanted. Took me a bit longer to disable the drive, so the police attacked and destroyed her before I could get to cargo. I didn't even check what she hauled.

Switch off 'report crimes against me' so the police does not come to 'assist' you
You can also let them jump out of the system, and follow them using a wake scanner: they normally end up in an anarchy system, where you can interdict again and rob without being disturbed. Of course this takes a wile so only worth it for the bigger fish.
Got 4 or 5 of them, all Keelbacks, good cargo. Worth trying, even if they fight back and it's not easy to catch them from rear to disable drives. More fun, more valuable stuff than LTDs and easier to find good selling prices at the moment.
I bought wake scanner, too. Nobody wanted to jump out, though.
Yesterday I met an elite courier Keelback which was too agile for me to kill the drives in 4 minutes (before police arrived). Looks like some work needs to be done on my flying skills...
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of after being humiliated by the Keelback.
This is the way.
Unless you have a particulary nimble ship, you need to learn this art of indirect firing...
Krait Phantom is not an agility master, so I need to try this technique, no doubt.
I'm going to engineer 4 LR super pen rails just so I can disable a ship's thrusters without having to resort to seekers lol
I jumped today on an elite Private Courier Type-10 flying alone in a low security system. It took me 20-ish seconds from the first shot to take down shields and reduce drives to 36%. I was turning back to finish the job, pretty sure that I still had a good 3 minutes to do that, when a wing of three elite police Vipers popped in and forced me to, well, change my plans. I barely escaped with 23% hull.
What has really happened? Why the wing was there so immediately in a low security system?

usually the private courier large ships have escorts, i guess it took some time for those to spawn (or jump in).
