It's not a black market if it's a market for legal goods, it's just a market.

Just not one where sales tax is paid I presume. It’s at least not part of the “formal economy” that will show up on a public profit and loss sheet.

Fun fact: one term for the informal economy is "System D": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_D
