Some folks have mentioned Denver as a source for this; I don't
have Denver, but Bug City, p. 131, says "If player characters
want to barter with or for an item that does not appear on that
list [a table in Bug City], begin negotiations with the cost of
the closest 1994 equivalent (U.S. dollars = nuyen)."

So there y'are, two sources.
