Sonaza Market
Sonanza Market - the first thing you're probably thinking is, 'What is a Sonanza?' Well, the word 'Sonanza' appears to originate from a Swedish contemporary music ensemble, so we can only assume the founders are a fan. It certainly sounds catchy. The market offers both physical goods such as drugs and counterfeits, fraud related items, and digital goods such as software and guides.

Registration is very simple. All you need to do is provide a username and password, then complete the simple captcha challenge. You'll then be given a mnemonic code (make sure you save this in case you ever forget your password), after which point your account is setup.
Sonanza Market Rules:
Nothing unusual about the rules. No sales of weapons, CP, terrorism activity etc. and dealing outside of the market via apps such as Telegram is also not allowed for the safety of buyers. We found quite a few vendors banned for violating terms of service, so clearly the admins at Sonanza have pretty low tolerance for real breakers and scammers. Always good to see.
Searching for Products:
In order to search for a product, you can either search by category name (listed on the left hand side of the home page), or enter in what you're looking for on the search bar at the top of every page. If your search term is the same or similar to a vendor name, the search will detect this and display vendor results instead.
Product Information:
Within the listing page for an individual product you'll find a nice large photo, a detailed description of the product, plus information about shipping, price, previous sales etc.
Making a Purchase:
Decided what you want and want to make a purchase? Sonanza Market now offers walletless / direct pay, so you can either start by depositing to your market wallet, or simply go direct to the checkout and deposit at the end. All payments are in Monero.
