Someone who stole the nuke and wants to get rid of it before he gets caught? It would be cheaper then. Are you buying it from a rogue government (particularly in Russian territories) or warlord? That will be lots of paranoia because they are more law enforcement out there than there are people trying to buy nukes for personal whatever. You've got at least a 50/50 chance, or worst, that whoever you are talking is FBI/CIA/UN/MOSSAD etc. The thing may be worth millions and millions, but that doesn't mean that you'll get that much for it. So the price of a nuke could vary wildly from situation to situation. Politics/business could play into it as well. Say you are buying from a russian country that is trying to make a run in the world wide oil market. If you are buying a nuke from these guys and tell them that you plan to use it in the middle east, they might give it to you cheaper because turmoil there would help out their oil business.The black market is extremely fluid and hot properties like nukes can really put a wierd spin on things. Of course you can also do the timed honored "movie" auction. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Where whoever is selling the nuke gets a bunch of buyers together and holds an auction. In this case whoever bids the highest determines how much the nuke is worth.</blockquote>
