SELLER'S EVENT! Used cars, Pegasus, Yachts, apt's, weapons

[rodrich266]

Awesome thread OP.

 

Like many have said, I would sell most of the pegasus vehicles I bought during the billionaire days and A LOT of the clothes I bought, even if it was 90% depreciated or just for free... Seriously it would be awesome just to delete all those clothes and accessories I never used or used once!

 

As for weapons I would keep them all, I'm a gun nut. (Yes even the melee weapons) and I would also keep all my cars and properties, no regrets there, and the vehicles you can sell anyways.

Can I sell someone else's Hydra?

[Feurian42]

I would sell my duster, monster trucks, Cuban 800, Vakyrie, and Vestra. And Hell, it'd be nice if we could sell high end vehicles for 1:20th their value. 50k for an Adder would be plenty.

This thread idea has been around ever since after the billionaire days when people wanted to get rid of owned clothing or Pegasus vehicles. What makes this thread interesting, though, is that you made it a special week-end event and that got my two gears in my head whirling. While I'm digging the ability to sell stuff to R* themselves, why not have an in-game website and warehouse where goods can be found? Let me paint you a picture.

Each lobby has a warehouse inside Los Santos that you can head into like a personal garage. No weapons, no attacks, simply walking around. Inside the warehouse is vehicles put up for sale by other players via an in-game website or driving said vehicle to the warehouse itself. While walking near vehicles, their performance/mods/price are listed above the vehicle. The price can be done like an auction where players huddle around a car and press a button to bid on it. It ends when the timer for the auction ends (say, 24 hours, for example - I'll expand on that in a minute). If the timer runs out but there's at least two players left, the other player only gets 5-10 seconds to put another bid in before the car is bought out.

The car can also have a buyout price where people can show up, ignore the auction going on and simply buy it for a much higher price set by the vendor player. This system is the same system used in the Forza Motorsport series, most notably Forza 4 and its auction house. People would put up supercars for like $40,000 while others put Honda Civics with a red square and text saying "remove square to see special code" for 5mill. Of course, the paint was locked so you couldn't remove the square - it was a scam. The issue with GTA is that you can't do custom paints (on a very small scale with custom crew colors which would have to be attached to the car as buyers aren't in the crew) but some people are loaded which can make things go two ways. One way is that you'll find supers for cheap. The other is that rich players will walk in and just buy everything to piss off everyone else. Limit it to one or two purchase per 24 hours real time.

I know some glitches will pop up and such thing will NEVER EVER happen but it's a dream I've had for a long time. The auction house from Forza 4 was just an amazing place. You saw all the cars in a thumbnail with info about the player and the asking price (and buyout) and prices would go up and timers would indicate how long until the car was up for. If the car wasn't bought it was returned to the player. If the car is bought it's immediately sent to the buyer. The seller could put the car up for a few hours (up to 24 hours, I think) and the more hours it's up in the auction house, the more the seller had to pay. It was like 8K for a full 24 hours so no worries on that.

Oh, and to bring it back to "each lobby has a warehouse", to be precise about it each lobby would have a DIFFERENT warehouse. Same location, different wares. If you enter a lobby where one player has a Tampa on sale, you'll only see a Tampa. Switch session to see different auctions. Now I'm sure that could be tweaked but having a "refresh button" of some sort is the way to go. Also makes selling your stuff more likely. Or you could have a menu with filters. You could set your search to filter all the in-game sales for a Tampa and there would be, say, 50 Tampas in the warehouse. All varying in price/mods/time left. That would avoid having warehouses full of T20's and finding specific cars much easier.

Anyway, just thought I'd share my idea. Seems to fit with your thread idea. Onwards with the questionnaire:

VEHICLES:
None as I can sell to LS Customs themselves and I'm at the point where I can't sell a single car. They're all perfect.

 

PEGASUS:
Everything except Insurgent Pick-up, Liberator, Savage. I bought the Hydra while it was on sale at 2.2 mill and I regret it so much.

APARTMENTS/GARAGES:
I'd keep all my garages/apartments. I actually own four 10-car garages and one 10-car garage/apartment. If they introduced warehouses that holds more cars I'd consider moving out of my garages and definitely out of my apartment. I'd rather spawn in a garage than in an apartment and walk to the door to get out.

WEAPONS:
If the weapon wheel would be locked to NOT pick up weapons I'd definitely sell all weapons, only keeping one per slot. I hate switching weapons. Most notable is AP Pistol, Special Carbine and Grenade Launcher. Those are the 3 I really need. AP for car, Special for foot, Launcher for fun/helicopters.

CLOTHING:
I'd sell mostly everything that isn't set as an outfit. Donating and getting a higher "good behavior" pay would be nice. Like you donate and based on how much clothing you donated you get more than 2K for good behavior.

i would give away my beerhats to anyone who would like them. I got them with a glitch that happend during ill gotten gains but never wear them. Kinda unfair for Those who tried to get them during special crate events.

[JuanG12]

Vehicles: None. I don't sell customized vehicles, I've sold two since I started playing GTA O. The last time I did it was in February, and it was to make room for the Roosevelt.

 

Pegasus: All except the Buzzard, Hydra, Savage, Tank. I have all of them BTW, and I haven't used most.

 

Apartments: None.

 

Weapons: Most. I don't want to list them all.

 

Clothing: Most. I've bought almost everything the game has to offer to avoid paying PV insurance. lol I collect a bounty and play an LTS here and there. I buy clothes and ammo, and keep > $500. Switching characters to dump $100-200K isn't worth it for me.

Thank you, @rodrich266. I agree with you about the Pegasus "even if it was 90% depreciated." Not sure about for free, tho! lol!

 

As for the cars, not sure if it was a glitch error or what, but many of my old super cars, like the Entity, which I bought legitimately, is still perfectly usable, but I can no longer sell it. I get the "too hot to modify" message when I bring it in. It's fully modded up, so it's still fun and all, but that and (I think) my old Monroe are unsaleable now. I keep em' for keeping em's sake.
