You’ll find the NPC’s hiding hole past an abandoned mine underneath the Desolate Church ruins. Other than that location, you’ll find all the places to find the Black Marketeer in Palworld below:

How To Catch The Black Marketeer

Are you tired of going to one of the Black Marketeer's locations whenever you want to check out his wares? If so, consider capturing this shady NPC and bringing him to your base. But be warned, for he won't go with you without a fight. Note that capturing the Black Marketeer is like catching a wild Pal. In other words, you must only throw a Pal Sphere at him and hope he won't escape. However, it’s important to mention that this task is easier said than done. Any hostile action made to the Black Marketeer will result in him whipping out his minigun. Additionally, this NPC is typically at the Level 40 to 45 range. Thankfully, you can trap the Black Marketeer using the Hanging Trap (unlockable at Technology Tree at Level 4). Craft this item using 10x Wood and 5x Stone. Then, simply place the trap above the Black Marketeer and watch him squirm as he tries to break free. Use this time to whittle his health and capture him using one of your high-tier Pal Spheres. Alternatively, if you don’t want to catch the Black Marketeer, you can build a base near one of his locations.
