I tried to see if this had been covered somewhere but searching did not work for me. My apologies if I am rehashing something already answered elsewhere.

I am starting up a campaign in which I am interested in letting the players purchase Karma and possibly letting them sell Karma. There is information in the SR3 Companion about this, and if memory serves it suggests purchasing karma for 5,000 nuyen, and selling it for 250-1,000 nuyen per point. I am planning to run the campaign with pretty standard karma awards, so my question is as follows:

Those of you who allow purchase and/or selling of Karma, what rate do you allow it at? 250-1000 seems WAY low for selling, I was thinking in the range of purchase for 10,000 and selling for 5,000.

Those of you who do not allow one or both of these, any particularly compelling reasons as to why, that you would care to share?

My goal is to come up with a fair, balance and economical set of numbers for this.
