That would be my take too. If he's willing to start with no gear and a purse full of coins and buy his equipment in play with the usual rules for finding and paying for stuff in Town I'd consider it, but I absolutely would not let him buy more starting equipment than he paid character points for starting wealth.

Though I suppose in GURPS I might allow him to trade points for "cash", or maybe even buy a higher level of starting wealth, and offset the cost with a Secret to reflect a history of currency fraud if he wanted, which might have a similar effect.
