Talk about this brings up a heller of a question to me. When
pawning/bargaining/trading in the SR realm, what kind of guarantees are viable
options to ask for from a Fixer concerning stuff like this. Sure, I know, you
should probably go to a Deckmeister, but for the samurai who just wants a
code-breaker for a maglock or something similar, that option may not be an
option.

Basically, has anyone -really- thought out the Negotiations/Etiquette role-
playing impact this could have?
