Hi, I think what Kreso means is the "gray market". The
Black Market usually refers to stolen or other
"illegal" goods (as drugs and weapons). The Gray Market
generally refers to the sale of goods eluding the vary
high taxes many countries have, like the VAT, etc. Like
being sold on the street, and no tax is paid to the
government, often "quasi- legal". I think, at least...

Sounds like a good scope to me, I wish I had one like
it ;-)
