You can discourage it by paying the PCs a lot less than what the loot is
actually worth, according to the fencing guidelines. Not too long ago, one
of the PCs in my game had killed a few gangers trying to break into her
RV, and wanted to sell them to a street doc; I added up the costs of body
parts (as per SRII), multiplied by 30%, and lowered the price still more.

Had I let the street doc pay "full price," I'm pretty sure the players
would have tried to sell everyone they killed to a street doc, which I
don't particularly like them doing.
