According to Michael Schmidt, on Friday 30 July 2004 13:17 the word on the
street was...

That has always been the case in the English versions, too, and is
definitely not a typo by FanPro. I've always assumed nobody at FASA looked
up the price for a trauma patch when they came up with the survival
knife...

But if you want to mess with numbers like this, just spend most or all of
your starting cash on anything with Street Index 3.5 or higher -- such as
AK-98 rifles, or trauma patches -- and sell them on once your character
enters the game. Don't haggle, just sell them at (list price x fence's 30%
x Street Index) nuyen and you make a profit. Then buy stuff with Street
Index < 1 as actual shadowrunning gear :)
