Silicone Masks Of Someone Else
Image Source/ AliExpressSome users sell hype realistic silicone masks, which I'm sure are not creepy at all. They claim to be the best in the market for comfort and movement. I think there's only a few reasons that come to mind about why anyone would want to pretend to be someone else.Social Security Numbers
Image Source/ TheMotleyFoolYep, you heard that right. If you find yourself needing a new social security number (suspicious) just take yourself shopping to the dark web and buy yourself a new one. Of course, the social security numbers will be worth it, as they only sell those with a score of over 750.Underage IDs
Image Source/ BusinessInsiderNow this is a strange one. You'd think that anyone wanting to purchase a fake ID would be doing so to become a different person, or increase their age, but the dark web actually sells underage fake IDs. It can be perfect for those cheap hockey tickets or discounted gym memberships.Poison
Image Source/ Science NewsOne of the most poisonous substances that exists is ricin. Ricin can be purchased on the dark web, with just a small amount being able to kill a human. A 20-year-old American who was discovered peddling the lethal poison was given a 9-year jail sentence.Plastic Explosives
Image Source/ WikipediaIt only gets worse... the dark web is actually home to vendors of plastic explosives. Following a successful conversation with a Dark Web vendor, a Sabotage Times reporter was able to purchase massive quantities of C4 plastic explosives. It goes to show how easy it can be done!Rocket Launcher
Image Source/ Bulgarian MilitaryRocket launchers are available for purchase on one particular dark web site, in addition to standard firearms and ammo. Also available are a fake AK-47 and a grenade launcher. The seller guarantees that they do not sell to recognised terrorist organisations. Hmm.Uranium
Image Source/ Seeking AlphaThe dark web has uranium, the sort that can be utilized to produce atomic bombs. Even while it may seem terrifying and frightening, it is very doubtful that someone would have the money or the ability to purchase enough uranium to turn it into a weapon. Still, it's enough to scare you!Illegal Substances
Image Source/ Legacy Healing CenterThis one is an absolute given and comes as no surprise. The dark web offers buyers to purchase some of the cheapest going illegal substances out there. Although one of the major dark web suppliers has been shut down, there are definitely still a few vendors floating around.Government Data
Image Source/ BeepingcomputerOnly a few days after the US government's Office of Personnel Management was breached, allowing access to reams of sensitive data, the results of that attack began to surface on the dark web, being sold to the highest bidder. We're unsure of what type of data is on offer here, but I can imagine it went for a high price.SWAT Body Armour
Image Source/ ShotStopWell, if you're purchasing an actual, life-size rocket launcher, you might as well look the part. From the same store that stocks the rocket launchers, grenade launchers and AK-47s, buyers can pick up some SWAT-grade military armour for all of their... military endeavours?Hitmen
Image Source/ RankerSome believe that police are primarily involved in trying to catch suspects, while others believe that this is just kids fooling around. But nonetheless, you can purchase a hitman online from the dark web. I'm unsure of what their skillset would be like, or how much experience they've had!Fake Passports
Image Source/ The ConversationEven a fake passport can be purchased, and there is a website on the dark web that advertises the sale of identity documents from almost all nations in the world. Be prepared to spend thousands of dollars if you're interested in obtaining an American passport though.3D Prints Of Anything
Image Source/ Union Vault BankThose who can't afford their own 3D printer at home can hop over to the dark web and place some orders via the marketplace. Some vendors will sell any request for a 3D-printed item, which can range from guns to ATM skimmers, which can be placed on ATM machines to replicate cards.A Written Message
Image Source/ TittygramOkay, so this one can't be exclusive to the dark web right? I'm pretty sure some OF stars will be willing to jump on board this game. One seller invites buyers to purchase her services, which involves writing any message anywhere on her body. I can only imagine what people have requested.Child Spirits
Image Source/ History.comThis has got to be up there with the strangest on this list... the dark web actually sells the spirits of children. How they go about this I'm unsure, and how they even manage to price up these souls of deceased children is another mystery. I wonder what the reviews look like?Credit Card Numbers
Image Source/ Financial TimesGiven that it probably doesn't take long for someone to realise that their credit card details have been stolen, the sellers of credit card details are nice enough to sell in batches of 100. The average credit card limit is $3,500, meaning you can make a hefty profit on such a small investment.Uber Rides
Image Source/ PYMNTSIf you use Uber a lot then this might be something that interests you. Uber rides can be expensive, so the dark web now sell Uber account login details, with funds already deposited from the users. They're selling 10 lots of login accounts for a cheap price of $15.Immortality Guides
Image Source/ BBC Science Focus MagazineYou might want to read that again. That's right, the dark web have even broadened their horizons to immortality for the low low price of $2. I wonder just how founded the guide claims to be, and who is actually giving the advice to endless mortality.Sand?
Image Source/ GIGAcalculator.comIt seems like one user found themselves on the dark web and don't know what to do. In an attempt to be funny, they offered sellers 1lb of sand in exchange for $50 USD. They wrote:"If anyone actually orders this, I will send you one full pound of sand and 50% of the proceeds will be donated to a charity."
Grocery Coupons
Image Source/ Supermarket NewsI'm not sure how effective and efficient this one would be, but some stores actually sell fake coupons for your favourite grocery stores. They send directly to you online and you just have to print them at home... best part is they can be used multiple times. Hmm.Research Data

Image Source/ The GuardianIt's reported that The Daily Mirror was actually able to locate a Gulfstream Jet that was on sale, and it was offered for the comparatively low price of $200,000. if there's one jet that's being advertised on the dark web, then there's got to be more? I'm not sure how much I'd trust it!Medical Records
Image Source/ Access Records ManagementAn unusual one on this list would be medical records. Initially, you'd be wondering why anyone would want to get their hands on someone else's medical records. Well, the answer is bribery. If they can obtain sensitive and secret information, the likelihood is they'll get to blackmail them.Physical Credit Cards
Image Source/ BankrateNot only can you browse the selection of credit card numbers, you can actually purchase physical credit cards that have been cloned from stolen ones. This way, you don't have to make all your purchases online and can do so via the shops (stupid idea!!).Fake Degrees
Image Source/ AthleticademixI think we can all agree that college tuition fees need to be lower. If you're fancying getting your degree, for a lot less money and hard work, you can buy yourself an Ivy League degree from the dark web. However, don't just rely on this to land yourself a job, they might find out you have no idea what you're doing.Organic Marijuana

Image Source / Spitalfields LifeScavenger hunts may sound like fun, but when they come from the Dark Web, not really.

Image Source / The GuardianSpeaking of phone calls: this isn't necessarily something you can buy on the Dark Web, but more something that can happen to you if you're browsing it.

Image Source / EtsyOne of the things for sale on the Dark Web is something called a 'Wish Pill', which you need to take and then make a wish before waiting for it to come true. It's unclear whether the pill actually does make wishes come true... but this is the mysterious Dark Web after all.100 Credit Cards For $17
Image Source / The MirrorIf you find batch-buying much easier, than why not treat yourself to 100 credit cards for only $17 dollars?

Buyers even have the choice to pick a specific state they'd like to receive the database for.Employee Login Credentials (And Other Personal Information)

Image Source / Staff Skills TrainingThe Dark Web also plays host to what's called 'Fullz datasets', in which you can buy full profiles of information that include everything you need if you wish to commit identity theft. They're also hugely popular, so you can expect them to sell out quickly - but they're also very cheap, too.Lucrative Job Listings
Image Source / CoreTechYes, you can actually find posted job listings on the Dark Web, too. Not all of these have to be related to criminal activity, either, as the job listings can be as normal as the ones you'd find on the everyday web. The postings are worded in the same way they'd be on sits like LinkedIn - and some of them offer very big salaries indeed.Knowledge
