Except that Leo's Pawn Shop costs 1 nuyen to visit, so selling the
Streetline actually costs you, and then you have to pay to buy it back.
The only way to make money with this scenario is to roll a 6 (3 - 2 = 1
nuyen profit), and you could lose money rolling 1-4 (1 - 1 = -1 nuyen
profit). Better is to have a runner sell a Streetline and buy back a
different one in the same visit. No chance of loss, although you only
profit on a 5-6.
