How a job works

Work through the guide's pages in order, adding or deducting on each, then send your estimate. KeenGamer says the first jobs are Cybernetic Hands, later Plasma Cartridges, and to check wear, scratches and damage, not just color. Mistakes don't end the game but can hurt your reputation. Too-low answers can be rejected even when accurate. Ten perfect appraisals earn An Eye for Value, the second most common achievement.

Cybernetic hand values

These come from the Station Trade Commission guide as GitM read it: a base of 100 and a floor of 50.

Feature	Value
Carbon composite	+50
Gold plated	+200
Aluminum alloy	+0
Wear	-35
Damage	-85
EMG control	+0
EMG+ control	+45
Neural interface	+120
Unspecified control	-60
Armored	+50
Blade	+80
Tactical set	+100
Deluxe set	+200

Tactical means carbon composite, EMG+ or neural, no wear or damage, armored with a blade. Deluxe means gold plated and neural with no wear or damage. New appraisal items are promised.

Appraising what you buy

Rare goods need appraisal to avoid overpaying, and suppliers overstate value. A Ribwich in missing or counterfeit packaging is worth 40, whatever else it has going for it.
