* A Season 2 episode of ''Series/{{Gotham}}'' features "The Merc", a sort of [=CostCo=] where all the criminals of Gotham go to buy everything from flamethrowers to rocket launchers -- with a loudspeaker actually advertising ''two for one'' deals, to complete the gag. Only in [[WretchedHive Gotham]]...

* Several Creator/MarvelComics villains made careers out of this:
** [[Characters/XMenRoguesGalleryAToI Arcade]] used to make money by producing robotic "heroes" for the villains to practice on, while [[Characters/MarvelComicsTaskmaster Taskmaster]] made money by providing training for {{mooks}}.
** [[Characters/IronManCentralRoguesGallery Justin Hammer]] and [[Characters/SpiderManCentralRoguesGallery the Tinkerer]] are well-known super-villain technology suppliers.

** Leo Zelinsky is a tailor in Brooklyn who makes costumes for the heroes ''and'' villains in Marvel, though he alternates days, opening his shop for bad guys on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and for heroes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. (He sees nothing wrong with this -- he's just a guy trying to make a living.)

[[folder: Film -- Animated ]]
* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe1'' has the [[MorallyBankruptBanker Bank of Evil]] ([[TakeThat formerly Lehman Brothers]]).
* The ''Despicable Me'' spinoff ''WesternAnimation/{{Minions}}'', meanwhile, has Villain-Con, a [[CriminalConvention trade convention for supervillains]] held in UsefulNotes/{{Orlando}} where the Minions Kevin, Stuart, and Bob meet Scarlet Overkill.

* The entire country of Malaria in ''WesternAnimation/{{Igor}}'', though it's less "buy our evil stuff" and more "pay us to not ''sell'' it".

* ''Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy'': The troll market.

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]

* An episode of ''Series/TheUnusuals'' featured a store that sold murder equipment.
* A Season 2 episode of ''Series/{{Gotham}}'' features The Merc, a sort of [=CostCo=] where all the criminals of Gotham go to buy everything from flamethrowers to rocket launchers. With a loudspeaker actually advertising ''two for one'' deals, to complete the gag. Only in [[WretchedHive Gotham]]...
* The Lead-Lined Shop is a place located in [[TheCityNarrows the bad part of Metropolis]], detailed in a 1988 Mockumentary done to celebrate Franchise/{{Superman}}'s 50th anniversary. All of its merchandise seems designed with fighting Superman in mind, including Kryptonite of all varieties. (Continuity for [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks the Silver Age]] still in effect.) Despite this, the owner claims to be a law-abiding merchant, indicating a disclaimer on the wall that reads, [[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope "It is a crime to utilize the items in this shop for the purpose of Evil"]].

[[folder: Tabletop Games ]]

* The ''TabletopGame/{{Champions}}'' supplement ''Gadgets!'' mentioned two organizations that sold weapons and other equipment to super villains: the West German KRONOS and Japanese ISE (International Scientific Elite).
* ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}''. Fixers sell illegal equipment (including weapons and ammunition) to shadowrunners.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}''

* ''TabletopGame/{{Rifts}}'' has Splynn dimensional market for the obvious one, selling everything from magic to technology to slaves and minions, though the Naruni try and compete on purely the technological front (not that they just sell to evil, they sell to everyone!).

[[folder: Video Games ]]

* ''VideoGame/GoldeneyeRogueAgent'': The Octopus.
* Arguably, these exist in ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' for the PlayerCharacter, though some may consider them to be anti-hero mart. These black-market dealers include, in order of severity: a pawn shop owner selling knives and 38. calibre pistols without a license; a bored clerk at a 7-11 offloading firearms to supplement meagre pay; a Chinese ex-military herbalist with several "[[DeadlyEuphemism remedies]]" that can only be bought with cash; a black-market dealer with more than a few ties to organized crime, working from the back of his truck; finally, there's Mercurio, a Ghoul arms dealer working for Prince Lacroix, capable of finding just about anything for anyone. A borderline case may be found in the form of Pisha the Nagaraja, a flesh-eating immortal lurking in the basement of a [[AbandonedHospital condemned hospital]], who'll happily hand over some very useful items -- provided you can find the occult items she's been searching for.

* ''Webcomic/EvilInc'': All about one of these.

* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Sin d'Rome]] Mercenarium, a {{mutants}}-only Dark Web site selling everything from combat robots and biological weapons to pre-fab lairs and custom uniforms for equipping your EvilMinions. Oh, and they have jobs boards for hiring {{Mooks}}, signing on with other villain's collaborative projects, or finding patronage for your own villainous endeavors from various interested parties.

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' has the [[MorallyBankruptBanker Bank of Evil]] ([[TakeThat formerly Lehman Brothers]]).

** ''Magazine/{{Dragon}} Annual #2'' mentions the Consortium, a market on the Grey Waste the size of a large city ("without a doubt, the commerce center of the Lower Planes") run by the oldest coven of night hags in existence. They specialize in larvae (damned souls that fiends use in the creation of young fiends) but specialize in larvae products, such as a perfume for [[HornyDevils temptress fiends]] called "Evil #7". They also have markets that sell weapons, slaves, and [[BlackMarket every type of contraband imaginable]]. The article even mentions [[BadGuyBar a coffee shop]] in the place that sells Abyssal Brew.
