* 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 pawnshop 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 organised 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 Nagrajara, 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.

** ''[[Magazine/{{Dragon}} 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 covey 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 temptress fiends called "Evil #7". The article even mentions a coffee shop in the place that sells Abyssal Brew.

* The Lead-Lined Shop is a place located in [[TheCityNarrows the bad part of Metropolis]], detailed in a 1988 Mockumentary done to celebrate {{Superman}}'s 50th anniversary. All of its merchandise seems designed with fighting Superman in mind, including kryptonite of all varieties. (Continuity for 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."]]
