What Black Lamp does in the display case

Black Lamp signals thieves that a shop fences stolen goods when it is placed in the display case. The Probably Stolen item list by Nicokobo states this use, and its stolen-goods wiki says Black Lamps in display cabinets attract sellers carrying stolen goods.

For a player deciding whether to use the lamp, the stated function is to draw sellers of stolen goods to the display case. That gives the item a specific use beyond its listed price and Miscellaneous category. The two descriptions point to the same role: placing the lamp in the case signals that the shop fences stolen goods and can attract sellers carrying stolen goods. The useful distinction is that the lamp’s function concerns the display case, while its listed price and category describe the item itself.

Our take on Black Lamp Probably Stolen

Black Lamp has two clear points for a player to weigh: its listed price is 120 credits, and its stated display case use is attracting sellers carrying stolen goods. The item’s value for a particular shop depends on whether that use is what you want from the display case. The price listings agree, so the cost comparison is simple; the decision described by the item’s use is whether attracting sellers of stolen goods fits what you want the case to do.

The buying detail is also straightforward: look for Black Lamp in Dr. Jackson’s stock. The entry does not promise that it will always be there, so the practical detail to watch is whether the item appears in his shop. That stock condition is the useful limit to keep in mind when planning a visit: Dr. Jackson’s is the named place to buy it, and the lamp is available when it appears in stock. The listed price remains 120 credits, while the display case use gives the item its stated purpose.
