GURPS Heavy Gear

Gears have had price values in the original DP9 books since... the Tech Manual? The original rulebook? Long time, that's for sure. All of the vehicle catalogs gave prices for the gears.

As I remember, it's roughly proportional to threat value divided by size, multiplied by a fudge factor based on the production class: mass produced Hunters are cheap (~$200K), limited production Black Mambas are more expensive (~$1M, I think?), and experimental single built prototype systems like the upgunned heavy armor Double Black Gold Cheetah A3 or whatever cost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.
