Official Appraisal Mechanics Overview
Appraisal Mastery: How to Maximize Buying Margins
Turning a consistent profit in Probably Stolen requires mastering the delicate balance between aggressive haggling and customer patience. In patch 1.0.0.6, every customer possesses an invisible Rapport Meter (ranging from 0 to 100) and an Impatience Threshold. Every counter-offer lower than 50% of the item's Base Value incurs a rapport penalty. However, because retail customers pay an average of 105% of base price in your showroom, securing purchases below 45% is vital to covering your weekly escalating rent obligations.
Opening negotiations at 42% of Base Value on pristine condition items yields an 84% customer acceptance rate on your first counter-offer. If the customer balks, stepping up to 47% will close the deal 98% of the time without causing them to storm out.
Step-by-Step Counter Inspection Protocol
-
1
Deploy the Ultraviolet Optical Scanner
Before making an opening bid, illuminate the item housing with your handheld UV scanner. Check all three authentication stamp locations: manufacturer seals, station tax stamps, and hologram gradient consistency. Counterfeits will exhibit flat monochrome reflections and carry an automatic -80% retail penalty.
-
2
Check Heat Rating and Police Serial Databases
Examine the digital serial register. If the item displays an active Syndicate Heat tag higher than 60, regular citizens will alert Station Security within three in-game hours of purchase. Demand a 20% discount on stolen goods, or plan to store them in your back room until nightfall.
-
3
Measure Structural Purity and Micro-Fractures
For cyberware items such as the Bionic Hydraulic Wrist Actuator or Oxygenator, run a stress-test diagnostic. Every 10% reduction in structural integrity deducts 15% from maximum customer resale price. Use these micro-cracks as dialogue leverage to drive the customer's asking price below 35% Base Value.
-
4
Execute the Multi-Tier Offer Sequence
Deliver your opening offer at 40% of assessed value. If the seller displays the yellow 'Hesitant' facial cue, sweeten the deal with cash-on-the-spot bonuses (+2% to +5%) rather than jumping immediately to 50%. This preserves over 110% net margin when placing the refurbished item on your showroom shelves.
Keeping more than three items with 65+ Heat on your open sales counter triggers an immediate inspection event from Bailiff Vance. All un-laundered stolen goods will be confiscated with an additional 500 Credit civil penalty per item.
Profit Margin Analysis & Early-Game Priority Buys
Not all items in the database are created equal. High-ticket items require substantial upfront capital that can jeopardize your Sunday rent reserves if they do not sell quickly. Below are the verified top-margin flips and the low-risk early game staples tested in version 1.0.0.6.

Frequently Asked Questions About Item Values
How often do item base prices fluctuate between in-game weeks?
Base values remain static in version 1.0.0.6, but station economic events (such as Dock Strikes or Syndicate Raids) temporarily adjust customer willingness to accept offers by +/-15% for affected categories like Industrial scrap and Cyberware.
What is the single best item to flip for fast profit in Week 1?
The Holographic Portable Projector is the most reliable Week 1 flip: low capital barrier (buy at ~520 ₡, sell at 1,280 ₡), zero heat risk, and instantaneous customer demand that ensures your liquidity stays healthy before Sunday rent.
Can I wipe heat off stolen items without destroying them?
Yes. Applying Grade-A Acid Solvent at your Chemistry Workbench dissolves physical serial engravings (-30 Heat), while flashing custom firmware with an Ocular Scanner removes digital police tracking beacons (-40 Heat).
How do I recognize a counterfeit item before agreeing to buy it?
Counterfeits exhibit three telltale signs: holographic stamps that fail to shift under UV light, serial codes missing the official station checksum, and material weight discrepancies detectable with an upgraded Biometric Pulse Analyzer.
