There is another and quite logical explanation as to why you would never get
two discounts for two Black Markets: you buy the gear directly at any Black=
Market at less than the usual price due to its past history and shady=
nature.
You do not collect coupons at each Black Market and turn them in to Ares or
Fuchi for a new product. Once you buy at one Black Market you already have=
the gear, so why visit another "store".
