Just two weeks ago we posted a study that compared the listing count of the DarkNetMarkets the total listing count in the first Silk Road,
Today, it appears that a user – Dunavo just made a count of all the listings across the marketplaces – and published it in this reddit thread Remember that this is NOT the number of unique products listings – but the total amount of listing (we never had a situation of just unique listing so this shouldn’t matter anyway) but it still gives a great deal of information about the market size in compare to what we used to know in the past. The listing count at the various marketplaces is as follows:

Some insights about the markets just by looking at these numbers:
Evolution – is indeed Growing fats (taking its place as the third largest market)
Pandora & Silk Road – Did not crash after being “hacked” but kept growing. – Pandora Hack – Silk Road 2 Hacked
Hydra – Being popular as its the newest market out of the 7 largest markets. (there is also Andromeda but it was merged with Darkbay – what probably counts in the listing count)
The Marketplace – Still growing slow and has a policy of one listing per product per vendor – which means that it had higher count if he was operating in the same policy as the other markets.
