Seriously...of course it's good, it wouldn't exist otherwise. Black (and grey) markets spring up naturally wherever there are unacceptable constraints preventing people from trading freely; whether they be monopolies, government regulations, or whatever.
If I'm happy to give someone what they're asking, and they're happy to relinquish possession of whatever it is that they have which I want, it's nobodies business but ours. And if we can't do it "legitimately" then we will do it "illegitimately".
