What David really wanted to ask was, "Can you help me sell it? I can give you a cut."
But he felt it would be awkward to ask so directly, so he tried a more roundabout approach.
The price the other man quoted, however, was completely unacceptable. "Five thousand euros."
David was so angry he stood up.
"No way! It's worth way more than that!"

Five thousand euros? What the hell?
Even an ordinary piece of cyberware cost several thousand euros.
Never mind something this high-end.
David might have been an inexperienced teenager, but even he knew this Sandevistan of unknown model couldn't possibly be as cheap as the ripperdoc claimed.
By his own conservative estimate, it had to be worth tens of thousands of euros, if not more.
After all, a good gun cost tens of thousands these days, and high-end cyberware couldn't possibly be cheaper than a good gun.
(PS: In the anime, Smasher called David's Sandevistan a basic model. He meant it was a basic model within the Sandevistan category. Among cyberware as a whole, Sandevistans certainly counted as high-end equipment.)
David's opinion of the doc instantly hit rock bottom.
Never mind that this quack had left him owing the academy so much money-now he was trying to lowball him this badly, too.
