While reading the thread on payment for runs, I found a sidenote on looting. This is probably more than a little naive, but... it actually never occurred to me that looting was, well, permissible -- or even possible. We've never even picked up downed enemies' weaponry, let alone engaged in the more devious methods that have been hinted at.

Needless to say, I am quite excited. Does one normally get, say, half the list price for weaponry? Or a fifth the street price? Is it tough to transport 'stolen' bio/cyber-ware? Are there items that most fixers won't handle? What diverse objects have you (or your gamers) stolen? Any particularly innovative tips?

In short... what are the mechanics of swiping stuff? And how can I go about looting without being abrasive, interrupting game flow, or risking GM wrath?

Many thanks,
TS
