One hub: contraband trade goods first (flowers, electronics, diamonds, weapons, pharmaceuticals), then the Marketplace tab for player-to-player vehicles and carried tools, plus backpacks, materials, weapons market and ammo.
How it works
- Trade goods tab: one continuous scroll — first the five contraband lines (pricing, caps, risk chips: spoilage, volatility, trip damage, seizure), then your inventory to sell from. Buy/sell uses the /trade API; partial load failures show a warning banner. Street prices for each good in a country stay the same for one hour, so the listed buy price is what you pay. Bought-for on your stock is your real average cost, not the live street price.
- The black market is divided into submarkets: Materials (raw materials), Weapons (firearms and knives), Ammo (ammo per caliber), Vehicles (illegal vehicles).
- Prices and availability vary heavily by country and time. A listing can sell out fast.
- Black market transactions leave no official trail but increase FBI Heat for large purchases.
- Weapons bought here can be used in crimes, PvP and security. Better weapons give higher damage and success chance.
- Filters by category (type, country, price, availability) help you quickly find the right listing.
- You can post your own listings as a seller, including price and quantity. Other players buy from you.
- Listings expire after a certain time if unsold. Monitor your own offers via your profile.
- Marketplace tab: peer-to-peer cash trades. You’ll see other players’ vehicles for sale and carried tools in one feed (country + price filters). Tap Sell item and choose Vehicles; the asking price starts at the quoted market value and must stay between the minimum and maximum shown under the field. My listings shows your active ads. You cannot buy your own ad.
- While you are in jail the whole Black Market is closed. You cannot buy, sell or list there until you are released.
- How many fit per storage tile depends on the trade good (compact goods more, bulky less). The Almanac lists "Per tile" on each good.
Tips
- Trade tab: pull to refresh if a segment fails; watch risk chips and Wanted before risky smuggling runs.
- Buy weapons and ammo in bulk when prices are low: availability is temporary.
- Avoid large black market purchases when FBI Heat is already above 30.
- The marketplace shows ads from every country; the country is on the card, not the seller's name. Refresh after listing. Only tools in your carried inventory can be placed for sale.
