Before Crash 2.0 fake IDs (up to SR3 R12) cost basically R²×1000¥. After the crash they only cost R×1000¥, so they are much cheaper now (although they are also capped at R6).
One of my house rules (not included in the table below) is that even post crash, Ratings above 6 are available, but they cost R²×1000¥. These high rating IDs fit the concept of "grown" over time rather than created now. The reason that they are cheap compared to pre-Crash is that really cheap R1-6 IDs would devalue even the really good ones.
For example a pre-Crash SR3-R12 ID would cost 120,000Â¥, the equivalent post-crash SR4-R8 ID would cost my players 64,000Â¥.
