Now That We're 2 Weeks In, How Much Have You Made Off Crates?

[ash-274]

I'm not too worried about how long it takes me to break even. I'd just like to know that I'm utilising my time the right way.

 

Due to my office location at Lombank, the only large warehouses I could ever see myself buying are West Vinewood Backlot or Xero Gas Factory, though I haven't investigated either of them in terms of access etc. Wholesale Furniture is actually the only large one I have previous experience of due to working with my friend and I could never manage to get a Buzzard down in the marker because of the massive overhang along the building.

 

I think what I'm going to do for now is finish my current medium stock of single crates and then have a go at double crates. This will at least give me some experience with the extra trips as a CEO and then I'll see how I feel about expanding to a larger depot.

Unless you are driving from the warehouse to the office, the distance to travel back isn't significant.

Warehouses like Logistics Depot are far from the Lombank/Maze West office, but easy to land a Buzzard on the corona or even just hover just above it on the last crate and you don't even have to enter the warehouse. The crate teleports inside, you get the pop-ups for the new total value and you can quickly fly back.

Use that time to do a VIP mission or make your next purchase to another warehouse that doesn't have a cooldown timer.

Fair point. I already do the hover drop off thing, love it!

I just hate when you're delivering 1-of-2 or 1/2-of-3 and it does the hover thing, but it takes control of the Buzzard away and it just lands on its own to teleport you inside the warehouse, but it may drift you into obstructions while out of your control

I recently got GTA 5 on PC. I had it on PS3 and since no updates it got boring. So i just transferred my character and started selling my vehicles so i could get 1 million. When i got the million i bought the Maze bank office and now i don't know what to do. I don't have enough money to even afford the small warehouses. Does anyone know what is the best mission in online that gives the best amount of money? Hopefully i can make my million back somehow.

Do VIP work, like Headhunter or Sightseer. 10-12 of those will afford you the cheapest warehouse.

$900,000 is a better goal to get the Derrire Lingerie warehouse. Medium size and only a couple blocks from your office.

18M$.. goal is 20M$ so that the office is maxed out with cash..

unless somebody can confirm that the cash piles even more?

 

It stops before 15 mil.

 

When I went from 14 to 16 mil, the cash didn't grow.

 

the cash piles does spread more in the boardroom till 20M. I've got few more piles in that room after going from 16M-18M

and now theres a small gap thats only left to be filled.

Don't know if it's already posted above but does the value of all crates in your first warehouse increase when you start filling up a second?

Sitting on 111 crates right now in a large warehouse, don't know if I should start filling up a second.

 

already sold 110 crates for about 2.125M while spending 666k on crates (according to my calculations) and in total I've spend 2.9M (1.9M warehouse + 1M office)

The warehouse raids, how does they happen? And if so, can they happen while beeing offline?

Do you have a chance to protect it, and if so is it easy?

Or do you just loose all your inventory at once?


On the topic: Only earned like 300K out of the around 10mil invested in this sh*t so far... In my opinion, this is waste of my time, especially when your associates don't get a dime for helping you. Rather play hesits with closed eyes now, than this.

They seem to only be raided while you are online and not doing crate missions. I go directly from the crate mission to the office, I've sold over 15 million worth of crates and never been raided not even once.

[TheGuyBehindYou]

22 Million

[Shadowfennekin]

3 million.

I only buy shipments of 2 due to the long tedious collecting 3 crates individually missions so I fill them slower

[Rocket Skates]

~$4,000,000 alternating between two small warehouses and selling when full.

[ash-274]

It's a bit off-topic, but the game is obsessed with selling me Medical Supplies for cargo

 

Animal Materials - 7
Art & Antiques - 5
Bullion - 13 (crappy stuff, like ambushes, Trackify searches, or accidental crate-destruction happened in 12 of those. It's my hard-luck cargo)
Counterfeit Goods - 11
Electronic Goods - 2
Gemstones - 9
Jewelry - 8
Medical Supplies - 24
Narcotics - 9
Tobacco & Alcohol - 14
Weapons & Ammo - 10
Rare items - 5
Unknown - 63 (Didn't keep records from the beginning)

[CarimboHanky]

question for those with multiple warehouses...

 

do you get different products if you choose a different warehouse?

 

i mean, you log into your computer, select warehouse A and get the option to buy animal materials, if you choose warehouse B does it give you animal materials too or you get a different product?

 

im asking because i plan on buying other 4 warehouses and fill them with specific products.

-15,000,000 Can i sell my warehouses

VIP work requires no startup requirement as a CEO. Since you've got an office, you can do unlimited VIP work, as there's no cooldown, either.

CarimboHanky... You still get same product at each warehouse when you have other warehouses. Put you have no cool downs in between to buy in other warehouse.

You can't choose which products you want to buy/collect. The game does it for you lol

yeah but since i can store it on the warehouse i choose, i should have no problem.

 

goes to the computer, securoserv offers me some narcotics, i select warehouse #4 and go and make the pick up.

 

back to the office, securoserv offers antiques, i select warehouse #1 and pick up the goods.

Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it.

[MikeyDLuffy]

700'000 in the first week and no more since. Fetching crates got old real quick.

[Felon Forever]

25.5 millions in sales as of yesterday. I spent about 15 millions on the office and warehouses. I haven't kept a record on how much I spent on crates, but I'm sure I broke even and now have a couple of millions profit.

I tried this with Electronic Goods - It's possible but it does take a while. Still, it adds a little extra to the missions and I kinda like the thought of having warehouses across LS for specific goods... feel like i'm managing stock rather than hoarding anything I can find

 

I've made just over $4 million now and am slowly breaking even, but I don't care about the rate in which I make a profit. I have more motivation to play GTAO these days than I've had since mid 2014.

[Grimoire]

I started this update at 20mill and wasted all the way down to 1mill..With the Supercars and office and warehouses..Just totally wiped my money.

I am now back to 10mill thanks to just grinding crates..There is an incentive to do this but it takes a lot of work and risk.

[EkaSwede]

Just so you know, there is no bonus on filling a warehouse with only one type of contraband. I've done it with a small warehouse with only Narcotics and no bonus.

 

And I say that is stupid.
