Hi,
Oh, you can have tons of fun with this!
Consider: In 3050, Clan tech is new, mysterious, and highly sought after by all the big governments, the guys who have very scary and effective black ops and spy agencies. Mercs tended to get contracts back then that explicitly demanded all Clan salvage be turned over to the employer on pain of contract breach, blacklisting, and--in some cases--outright destruction via bounty hunters or House regulars.
This, of course, made Clan tech REAL profitable on the black market, where prices would instantly get insane because of the availability and legality modifiers for Clan tech would generally shoot up to E or F.
Naturally, I would favor "shoot first and try to barter later". Tell them The God of Nukes, Fire, and Death sent you.
Thanks,
- Herb
