And don't forget that street index isn't all there is to it. If there is
some or another unrest in the 'plex, it'll be harder for your fixer to
acquire that APDS, so (s)he'll ask more for it... Vary the avail TN, the
time needed, and/or the street index as you see fit (not too much though --
don't drop the time from 6 weeks to 2 hours before rolling :)
I remember when my player's samurai wanted a full-auto shotgun, just after
we'd run Elven Fire (avert your eyes if you haven't played this yet)... and
with that unrest going on and the Metroplex Guard out on the streets, it
cost him about double what he'd have paid two weeks later :)
