It states in Matrix p50 under "Fencing Paydata" that each Paydata point is worth 5,000¥ and that you use the rules for fencing. However, the fencing rules on p238 of the BBB state that the base price is 30% of the listed price in the gear section. So is the 5,000¥ per point the base price (in other words, you're negotiating that p and down) or is it considered the list price and thus you're selling it for 30% of the 5,000¥, thus 1,500¥ per point?

The Abstruse One

It's the base price, not the value.

Hmm... interesting question. 5k is the "base street price" after all, and with the whole -1 point per day unsold, I'd say it's fair enough. If you hang around on a red host long enough to download 3 points of paydata (each taking at least two actions to download) you probably deserve 15k

I read it as 5K is the list price(the price from the gear section). You fence it from there so you would get 30% of 5k.
