That's pretty much how we play it as well. Buying an item legally, I
only require a credstick test to see if the Runner's fake ID comes up
as D-code. Buying black market means there's no risk to the fake ID,
but it requires the character make an etiquette test at the
(unmodified) availabilty and you pay street index.
