Im curious to see what others do in reguards to finding black market items in general... from cyberware to submarines.

Say a player comes to you with a list of items they want to buy with the money they have been saving up from their last few runs. Its quite an extensive list of beta/deltaware cyberware... tricked out weapons, vehicals, drones ect. I just say that they need to make constant avalibility tests and then purchase it as time passes throughout the game... However they have a 6 connections fixer. So im wondering how other GMs or groups handle a large list of items that like this as its time consuming and requires alot of bookwork.

Perhaps theres room for an element of RP with only certain items being avalible at any givin time as determined by the GM, or perhaps they find a 'arms dealer' that has a large quantity of the wanted items in stock. It does seem silly that a well connected fixer can only look for one item at a time, especially when considering items in the same catagory like headware or a group of weapon accessories. And when it comes to cyberware theres also the issue of install and recovery times...

So far ive just been doing avalibilty tests during downtimes and bringing in 2nd hand supplies or gadet-suites that may or may not be exactly what they are looking for if they try to obtain items during a run.

All in all im curious to see how others deal with this? Especially if anyone has a particularly creative or innovative way of dealing with it.
