One of the most astonishing parts of dark markets is that it flips the drug-dealing paradigm. Instead of watered-down product sold by unsavory people only motivated by profit, we now have what are essentially drug aficionados who are earnestly interested in selling the best possible product. Which isn't to say they're allergic to profit, but since its closer to an open-market they can no longer rely on being the only game in town. Testimony from buyers on the dark markets shows that some dealers even include free drugs, which is completely unheard of. If the cocaine cowboys of the 70s and 80s were the first wave and the crack kingpins of the 90s were the second wave, then the cyber vendors are the third wave drug dealers.
