Does Black Market Connections allow for full value item sale?

You have contacts who can move goods of all manner discreetly and quietly just about anywhere to nearly any destination you can imagine. You can sell goods in any city for their usual price, even if the goods are illegal or too luxurious for the locals to afford. Additionally, for 10% more than the usual price, you can purchase goods to be delivered to a remote drop-off point (possibly near an adventure location) in the same Solar system as a familiar city. The delivery always takes at least as long as the journey between the city and the drop-off point—and usually longer.

The way this is worded, it seems to imply that you can sell it for full book price, rather than the (frankly pretty terrible) price of 10% value. Am i misreading this, or is this the intended benefit of the ability? (Given that, otherwise it's pretty weak since all you get is an amazon delivery service...)

The usual price for selling is 10% of the purchase price, if you can find somebody to buy the item. This makes it possible to find that person where somebody else couldn't.

Probably not but my group had a multi hour long laughing spree about random nonsense you can murderhobo your way into with that one little sentence.

"here poor peasant village, buy this level 19 plasma cannon"
'but sir we only have 10000 credits to our name and thats for the winter'
"yeah i dont care, give me the 53000 its worth"
'yes sir... i guess the children dont really have to eat this year'

Or because you can sell illegal stuff you can literally steal someones house/ship/weapon/{insert funny thing here} from them then put it on the market and make a profit from it leaving them to deal with the after effects. Or even sell it back to them and they kinda have to buy it.

We've had our envoy cleverly concoct a second persona of Groucho Marx just so we can blame him for all the dastardly deeds and shenanigans we are going to pull with this just for pure hilarity

It's called 'black market connections'. You're probably not selling it to a random peasant. That's the whole point.

Not my problem if my connection has to rob the town blind to pay me.

Even better is when you sell the crazy thing town cant afford, then steal it back and sell it again and someone has to buy it. (bonus points if you are high enough level and you gain a resolve point for planning a crime)

None of these would fly in game, but just they way they wrote it made us all start coming up with insane ideas because the cities don't really have an opt out clause.

The best part is you can sell a canteen of water on the elemental plane of water and other such nonsense

Or use your amazon prime delivery service to sell water to desert planets

My character is an Outlaw theme and i chose it solely based on this rule, not because it will ever been useful to me but because i found it so hilarious

You seemed to have missed the word City.

I think the intention is that in any place with more than 10,000 people you can find a guy that knows a guy that can find a buyer.
