1. black-market

   A black market is an illegal economic activity involving the buying, selling, or exchanging goods or services without compliance with official regulations, often used to sell scarce, prohibited or illegal items such as drugs, weaponry or counterfeit money. The transactions occur "under the table" to avoid taxes or any other governmental regulations. This is typically due to high taxation, scarcity, or any legally imposed sanctions. Prices may be significantly higher due to risk of penalties involved with such transactions.
