I read all the posts below and I really do like this idea.

I think just the fact that something has been stolen and then is up for sale on the black market should make it the concern of Tribunals. After all, buying stolen merchandise encourages crime and thievery to continue.

The potential for adding to roleplay for thieves, tribbies, and even potential customers is great and at the same time also provides another place to get some cool stuff.

I definitely would like to see this idea developed. It sounds really fun. I have no idea what, if anything, it would do to game balance. But it just sounds like a very cool idea.

Smile - It can't hurt and might help.
