Any Websites Like EDDB That List Black-Market Trade Routes?
So I was trying to plot my own black market trade route last night, and after an hour and a half, I couldn't find anything profitable. Is there a website like EDDB.io that includes black markets in their trade route analysis?

do you mean smuggling missions? robigo is the place to go for that. up to 8 mill per mission... but bring a fuel scoop :) lol

black markets dont make much money for you. unless you have all stolen goods, which is not exactly somthing you do on a "trade route" :)

No, I don't mean smuggling missions... and that's part of why I've had such a hard time finding information about it, because it seems like no matter how I word my question in Google, the answers all assume that's what I mean. I have a very sold strategy for smuggling missions.

What I need is guidance on how to set up a smuggling route trading drugs or slaves from a system where they are legal, to a system where they are not legal, for maximum profits.

Last night I bought a hull full of 273-odd Imperial slaves from a system where they were legal, and I spent the next hour and a half traveling to 5 or 6 different black markets trying to find a profitable route. The least profitable route I found would have lost me about 70,000cr on my load, and the most profitable system only netted me about 300,000cr.

I could easily find routes on EDDB between two legal systems within 2-3 jumps that would have netted me about 900,000cr for that load without the risk of being scanned on each delivery.

There must be a more profitable way with the black market, or so I thought....

I'm not aware of any sites that track black markets like that, but taking Imperial Slaves from Zemina Torval systems to Archon Delaine black markets used to be really profitable for smuggling (some routes gave over 10,000 CR a ton). I'm not sure how viable it still is, but if you're still flying around looking for routes yourself, give that a shot.
