ABOUT THE BLACK MARKET.

Voted #1 Trade Server By Clients We Bribed!

After 15 years, we have closed all of our servers. Thanks for all the memories. Our community lives on in Discord, but we are know longer hosting The Black Market Trade Server.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This server's admin (slumlords is the term around here) is a group of old & new friends.

Visit TheBlackMarket.co to view our server roster & join our Discord.

INTRO
The Black Market is a community over a decade in the making, with a group of friends dating further. Founded with a TF2 Trade Server, we have since expanded into other games we enjoy and met a ton of great people along the way. Unlike a lot of other gaming communities, we run our server(s) from more of a friendship standpoint than a business. Friendship is the only way in, and probably the only way out of being an admin here. All of our donations are raffled back off to the community (for free), and the only "profit" we make goes straight to server costs and license fees.

FAQ
-Please do not post trades in our group comments.
-Your donator status follows you on all of our servers (in different forms).
-All donations go to free raffles, we do not profit from our servers.
-We host our own servers, no rentals.
-Unlike other servers, you can NOT buy admin here. Admin is earned by being an active, mature, and friendly community member first.
-While our admins here are friendly, do not expect them to give you anything. Be that Noclip or ingame items.

IF YOU WERE BANNED...
-You probably deserved it.

Never forget the OG memories made on this server. Resin, remember when you and I tried to make a dodgeball server?

After 15 years, we have officially shut down our servers. Thanks to everyone for being here and doing fun stuff with us. The community lives on in our Discord.

TBM was one of the first community servers I joined when I started TF2 long ago.
Now, it is finally being put to rest.
Unlike other dead community servers, I had a chance to say good-bye.
I'm glad I was able to be there until the very end.
Thank you for all the happy memories <3
