The Black Market
The Black Market in Caerleon only buys. Its buy orders often pay more than any royal city, which is why Black Market flipping is one of the most popular ways to earn silver in Albion Online.

How to read Albion market prices
Tax and order fees
Sales tax is 4% with Premium and 8% without. Every order you place costs a 2.5% setup fee, and changing a price means paying it again. Every profit on this page already includes these.
How old a price is
Albion market data is crowdsourced, so every price shows its age. Anything older than a few hours is marked. Check it in game before you haul anything across the map.
How Black Market flipping works in Albion Online
Black Market flipping means buying gear cheaply in a city market and selling it to the Black Market in Caerleon for more. The Black Market only places buy orders, so you sell instantly: no waiting for a buyer and no order setup fee, only the sales tax (4% with Premium, 8% without). This Albion market tool finds those gaps for you across every city and all three servers.
- Pick your server. Americas, Europe and Asia have completely separate markets and prices.
- Find a gap. Look for an item the Black Market buys for more than a royal city, Caerleon or Brecilien sells it, after tax.
- Buy the cheapest quality that still counts. A Black Market order accepts its quality or higher, so a cheaper Excellent can fill a Normal order.
- Carry it to Caerleon. Caerleon sits in the red zone, so plan the trip. The safe route planner shows recent enemy sightings on the way.
- Sell into the buy order. The silver lands immediately. Log it with "I bought it" to track your own profit in My flips.
A worked example
A Good T6.1 Broadsword sells for 38,200 silver in Martlock. The Black Market has a buy order for it at 71,900. After the 4% Premium tax you keep 69,024, so the flip earns 30,824 silver per sword (27,948 without Premium).
Enchant-up and craft routes
Sometimes the cheapest way to fill an enchanted order is to buy the flat or lower-enchant item and upgrade it with runes, souls or relics, or to craft it from refined resources using your return rate. The flip finder prices all three routes and picks the cheapest.
Black Market prices change fast
Prices come from the Albion Online Data Project and from our own bots reading the market live. Anything older than a few hours is marked, so check the price in game before you haul anything across the map.

Albion Market & Black Market FAQ
What is the Albion Online market?
Every royal city in Albion Online (Bridgewatch, Martlock, Thetford, Fort Sterling, Lymhurst), Caerleon and Brecilien has its own marketplace with separate buy and sell orders. Prices differ from city to city, which is what makes trading and flipping profitable.
How does the Albion Black Market work?
The Black Market in Caerleon only places buy orders. It buys gear to stock loot for mobs and chests. You cannot buy from it; you sell instantly into its buy orders. Black Market flipping means buying gear cheaply in a city and selling it to the Black Market for more.
How much tax do you pay on the Albion market?
Selling costs 4% sales tax with Premium and 8% without, charged only when the item actually sells. Placing a buy or sell order costs an extra 2.5% setup fee, and changing an order's price counts as a new order. Buying instantly from a sell order is free.
Where does this Albion market data come from?
Prices come from the Albion Online Data Project, a crowdsourced network of players who share the market data their client sees. Each price shows how old it is, so you can ignore stale numbers before you trade.
How do I find profitable flips in Albion Online?
Open City flips, pick a category such as refined resources, bags or mounts, and choose your server. It compares the cheapest sell order in each city with the best buy order or sell price in the other cities, after taxes and fees, and ranks the results by profit. Black Market flips have their own tab, with direct, enchant-up and craft routes.
Does it work for every server?
Yes. Americas (West), Europe and Asia (East) are supported. Switch the server at the top of the page.
Can I use it in my language?
Yes. The page is available in every language the game supports, and item names are the official in-game names.
Is Black Market flipping still profitable in Albion Online in 2026?
Yes, as long as you buy at today's prices and not last week's. The Black Market in Caerleon restocks loot for mobs and chests, so its buy orders move with what players destroy and kill. Margins of 10–30% on gear are common, but they disappear fast, which is why every price on this page shows how old it is.
What does the Black Market in Albion Online buy?
Only equipment: weapons, armor, helmets, shoes, off-hands, capes and bags, from tier 4 to tier 8 and from flat to .4 enchantment. It never sells anything, and it does not buy resources, mounts or consumables.
Which quality does the Albion Black Market accept?
A Black Market buy order for a given quality accepts that quality or any higher one. An order for Normal gear will take Good, Outstanding, Excellent or Masterpiece too, so when a higher quality is cheaper in a city, buy that one. The flip finder does this automatically.
Is this Albion market tool free?
Yes. Prices in every city, the city-to-city flip finder, price history and smaller Black Market flips are free with an account. Market Premium unlocks every Black Market flip with no profit cap, enchant-up and craft routes, live demand and the safe route map.
