For example, if I were to order a Pax vaporizer off of Agora, and the package was found, there would be nothing illegal about it, correct?
What is the legality of purchasing legal items over the dark net markets?

Why would you order a Pax through a DNM in the first place? You would probably end up with a clone. Order it directly from Plume so you're sure you're getting an authentic.

As far as we're concerned, it's highly unlikely that it will get you in any trouble. Purchasing cigarettes on DNMs from us is definitely not illegal - in certain countries you might be asked to pay excise, which sort of proves the point.

The legality of buying legal items off of a DNM isn't about taxes. It's about aiding & abetting a criminal enterprise via the commissions you pay to the market.

One of the reasons it is illegal is because you're avoiding taxes or some shit like that. Pretty sure there are more, but at this point has it really stopped anyone? Also If they find your vape they're not going to have anyway to prove you purchased it off of the darknet.

Correct.
But if the FBI seize Agora, they will steal your bitcoin along with everybody else's.
There are legal and illegal items for sale between private individuals on Ebay too, but the US government wouldn't steal the contents of every paypal account around the world then spend the money, would it?
At least give the bitcoin in the escrows and wallets of British Silk Road vendors to the UK Government. The blockchain is decentralized and the Silk Road server was in Iceland.
Even if its true that some guy named Ross logged into it from an internet cafe in America, its hypocritical enough to have a war on people who use and profit from drugs, then profit from them by stealing., Especially a government who hate bitcoin.
The UK government LOVES bitcoin, its untaxed, so 51% of the blockchain is under the control of two british companies. At least give my Silk Road 1.0 and 2.0 deposits to MY government in return for the generous tax break theyve given to me. I feel guilty not paying tax.
As it happens, my bitcoin were earned illegally. But the US Government stole them.
I haven't forgotten that. I have a very liberal attitude to drugs. But I really hate thieves. This isn't over. Not by a long chalk

I don't necessarily agree with other posters about evading taxes. Paying taxes on items sold is the responsibility of seller not buyer. What about eBay ? I think it's fine. IANAL
[1 Points] earthmoonsun:
I don't think doing business with an unregistered 'company' which also sells illegal items will be ok in the eyes of LE
[1 Points] JustExtreme:
Aside from lack of taxation which I doubt they'd try check for with a package anyway it should be OK I reckon.
[1 Points] None:
still not legal, strictly speaking. it would require an act of god for you to actually get in trouble for doing it though, in practice.
[0 Points] None:
Agora is a criminal market and doing any business through it is a crime

The fact you are asking this question kind of shows you don't know what you are doing bro

You are funding a criminal enterprise by making any purchase on a darknet market, this is illegal most everywhere.
A lot of people are jumping to the conclusion that he is selling clones. This isn't necessarily the case. They could be stolen.
