Hey I bought Cyberpirates and I thought the book
was great, except one item. It doesnt have prices
for stolen items, illegal items, and how do you
trade one item for another. Especially since the
game revolves around hijacking stuff and selling it.

Sorry about the previous sending, and for the duplication ...

Check out the BBB, it is in the section between Contacts and Matrix
information.

??? Check out 137-138 to get the price of living on different
items. This should give a fairly good idea of who needs what.
The rest is usually whatever the market will bear, and depends
on your negotiating skill, and the type of campaign your in.
IMHO of course.

like that.

This is the part of the game that you USE your own little brain to create.
FASA can't do all the thinking for you, and if they did, you likely would
tweak the results, anyways. So do it yourself in the first place :P

I don't think any book has ever given concrete prices. They
always do it as a percentage of seattle.
The list on those pages lists lots of things that could be "illegal"
food, slaves, etc.
This method also lets GM's adjust via Street Index etc, how much
nuyen they want floating around.
