Here's another question :
Let's say I'd like to put wired reflexes on Razorback. If I
have both the Fringe Surgeron and The Black Market in play
can I get the bonus from the two cards for deploying the
cyber ?
The Black Market says: "any player may deploy gear cards at
a discount of -2 nuyens". The fringe surgeron says (if
you're lucky) : "pay 1/2 the cost (round down) of the
cyber".
So is it possible to get the two bonus ( (5-2)/2 ) and
deploying at last Wired Reflexes for 1 nuyen ???

The same question raises for Mr Black and the Black Market.

Any ideas ?
Thanks

so long
Apone

In most cases, a runner must turn to visit a contact or location.
Therefore, I'd say that the same runner cannot use Fringe Surgeon/Mr. Black
and The Black Market at the same time.

The rule I've always played with is that cost-reduction effects do *not* stack -- three
Black Markets would *not* get you all the Gear in game for free (you can only visit one
Market). Similarly, you either go to the underworld shops or to your Talismonger, etc and
so on.

Incidentally, your mailer is over-riding the auto-reply function of the list.

Yeah, it was funny - my mailer choked up on that one, but just that
one. Including quite a few that were in response to Apone lately.

*Shrug* The Internet Powers-that-Be have become angered with me. I
must go make a sacrifice of keystrokes and sing their praise in
whalesong.
