What is the in-universe cost of a TIE fighter?

Establishes that there's a second-hand market for military ships.

Where are these ships available for sale? Who sells them, what's the main route-to-market (i.e from "in-service" to "out-service")?

Are there any cases in SW literature where a character owns a second-hand fighter (of either denomination)?

I know there are a few questions here, but I assume a good answer will cover the route to market with an example.

  The Starships of the Galaxy sourcebook indicates that they're only available to Imperial-aligned planetary defence forces and corporations. So step one would be to set up a very large company that supplies to the Empire and then ask to buy some TIEs for defending your supply lines.

  @Snow "Used, requires repairs..." It might be easier hiring someone to steal a TIE rather than buy one from somewhere. I can't recall anyone buying one, but there's at least one occasion in Rebels when a TIE was stolen.

In the Legends continuity it seems to be extremely difficult or expensive for private parties to buy a TIE fighter or X-Wing. In the books, most notably the X-Wing series, most groups not directly affiliated with the Rebellion/Republic or Imperial military relied on ships noted to be cheaper, such as the Z-95 Headhunter. However, salvaging individual parts of these ships was quite common, as "Uglies" cobbled together from parts of TIE fighters, X-Wings, Y-Wings and the like were used extensively by pirates and mercenary groups.

In The Bacta War, book 4 of the X-Wing series, Rogue Squadron resigns from the Alliance in order to fight against Ysanne Isard who has taken control of Thyferra. They get their hands on their old ships after Incom offer the Alliance a brand new squadron's worth of X-wings

"Someone in the military probably General Cracken, but maybe even Admiral Ackbar decided accepting Incom's gift was appropriate, so all the equipment in Rogue Squadron was inspected, listed as missing parts, and surplussed out. Winter found out about it before anyone else, and we scooped up the lot, including Emtrey and our astromech droids."

Wedge blinked. "Surplussed out? Our stuff was sold as surplus?"

"Broken surplus. It was missing parts."
"Such as?"
"PL-Is" Wedge frowned. "PL-Is? I've never heard of them." Tycho shook his head. "That's the designation for pilot." Wedge immediately began laughing. Someone back on Coruscant favors what we're doing or perhaps just wants to give us the tools to destroy ourselves.

So apparently you can just buy x-wings for cash from military surplus sales.
