It's much more difficult to cloak, because the transactions are necessarily tied to a physical address. If you're okay with being identified, why not use the legal markets? If you're not okay with being identified, you probably don't want to leak a physical address.
I struggle to think of useful ways of cloaking the physical transaction. You can have it shipped somewhere you don't live, but then you have to get there to pick it up, probably leaving a massive trail of GPS data and gas receipts.
I wouldn't be surprised if shipments of gold or cash raise eyes at customs, either.

- 7steps2much 5y agoI think what OP was trying to get at is that a dark web crypto exchange would not offer any benefit over a clear web one (both need to know who you are to send cash). Meanwhile, there simply is not clear web drug store, so dark web ones don't have to offer anonymity to their buyers
- conductr 5y agoRequired to buy, the seller is at higher risk and wants to be anonymous and does not need to provide an address to fulfill orders... same goes for the host of the hidden service
