	Hi, Emily, welcome to the group. I figure the rules for Dark Magic 
items resemble those for enchanting Muggle artifacts. As Arthur says in 
CoS, "There's a loophole in the law, you'll find...as long as he wasn't 
*intending* to fly the car, the fact that the car *could* fly wouldn't-
"
	If so, then as long as a wizard isn't *intending* to perform Dark 
Magic, the fact that certain items *could* be used for Dark Magic 
wouldn't make it illegal to buy or sell them.
