Hey Cyber pirates lists the Price Indices for some "items" that I don't
have base Seatle prices for ... are these listed in another book or are
you supposed to make em up (some I know you are supposed to make up but
would like a basis)?

Here's the list of stuff I don't know prices for (some are not important
but included in the list for completeness :):
Raw Materials
Drugs (I know about the ones in Shadowtech ... are there any more?)
BTL
Skilled Labor
Sex Slaves
Animals
Espionage
Escorts

If these are in a SB or Adventure, would you please be so kind as to
point it out or if they're not in any books, can you please make a
suggestion (they could be in one of the books I have, I just got 5 new
ones, including Cyberpirates and Target: Smuggler's Havens, and haven't
had a chance to read em completely)

That was something I noticed as well. Ever price list in the SB's is based on
Seattle prices, but, given that Sex-slaves and the like are horribly illegal
in most civilized (using that term loosely) countries, there is no base price
for Raw Materials, Sex-slaves, Skilled Labor, et cetera.
Anyone have an idea? Steve? FASA Mike?

Raw Materials sounds like a Grimoire thing (raw material for
enchanting). Skilled labor and sex-slaves may either be Seattle
Sourcebook or Shadowbeat; don't forget that there's a new Seattle book
on the way that might cover this stuff.

Nope, as far as I know this is the first place they have appeared.
I think Drugs & Escorts(Sex) of one sort or another may have been mentioned in a few
place books. (Seattle book, etc).

Nothing of this sort has ever been given out. Raw materials sounds like
magical telesma, so those would be in the Grimmy and Awakenings.
Sex-Slaves and what-not are purely a GM's call at this point.

Seattle Sourcebook, pg 9 lists prices for "simple sexual pleasures" and BTL
chips (50Y each).
