Full Lobby Sale Runs - have you tried it?

[mmm chocolate]

just wondering if anyone has successfully completed a SOLO sale run in a lobby full of randoms?

 

how did it go? did anyone try to f*ck with you?

 

other questions:

does it make more sense to try to sell a special item instead of crates? as you would only have to deliver one vehicle etc..?

 

is the extra 25,000$ (plus or minus) really worth it?

 

is it 1% extra for each player or for each associate/ceo? do regular players even count towards the multiplier bonus in the lobby if they're not ceos or associates?

In empty sessions yeah - public? I wouldn't even try; not with $2.2M at stake.

 

I'd probably just fail like this anyway:

Generally I avoid selling when there's a lot of people around. I'll do single crate pickups instead if anything, and wait for an opportunity to make a sale if people start to leave.

 

I'd look for quieter sessions or, failing that, sell smaller amounts at a time so there's less to lose. Always prepare for the worst when doing business in Los Santos

We did it last night. Ran into no problems with 25 other players in the server.

thats why I mentioned doing a special item instead, less risk. there's no way I would try a full large warehouse in a 25+ lobby. I'd give a lot of respect to anyone who did though.

by 'we' you mean not solo. having help changes everything. just wondering, how much bonus $ did you get?

way off there mate, selling a large warehouse full in an almost full lobby nets you an extra 500k

yeah i was wondering about that, i sold a small warehouse ($240,000) and there was one other ceo in there and i got $2400...thats where I got the 1% per player from. the % obviously goes up when selling more at a time.

I only sell in full lobbies, I've had some people come at me but it's usually like flicking away a bug.

The one time I did have a bit of competition was actually fun and they still didn't come close and gave up aafter throwing about 3 sticky bombs on my brickade, lucky I had armor. But if anything goes to sh*t just close the game and you only lose like 3 crates, I wouldn't want to miss out on 500k.

I do small guaranteed single vehicle 9 crate sales in packed lobbies. The bonus cash is substantial, the risk is acceptable (losing 9 crates ain't the end of the world), its exciting and there's always Ghost Organization if needed.

 

My big sales (full medium, I run two med warehouses atm) I do in "safe sessions," ie. with as many players as possible in organizations with which I've arranged a truce, maybe a random or two if they don't seem dangerous.

[malcolmfunktion]

Hell no...I don't do any CEO work at all with randoms floating around...I costantly get everyone left session so it's not really an issue.

[GodAllMarley]

That'll never be possible, there's always somebody that wants to be that bad guy

[CrysisAverted]

tried it when the dlc came out

never made it out of the city

[mmm chocolate]

I think I'm going to try selling a special item in an almost full lobby and see what happens, might shoot for one more filled with ceos and associates hoping they are busy, and possibly wait for a vip event to see if that can distract others as well.

[B00Minyourface]

Out of interest, does anyone know what someone would get if they manage to destroy a big delivery? You get £2k for destroying another CEO's crate (which is the cost price if you buy them one at a time) so I'm wondering if you'd get the full cost price of the whole £2.2 mill shipment!

I didn't know you got money for destroying crates.

 

I've been keeping away from other CEO's trying to make their runs, but wondered why other CEO's keep coming after me?

This explains it. duh!

 

As for trying in a full lobby, yes – I will only buy 1 crate at a time, though. As for selling, I did it once and had to take the Tug out to the middle of the ocean.

I was swarmed by other players and paid the price. Luckily, it wasn't a big run so I didn't lose too much. But still... ugh.

[mmm chocolate]

I got ammo and something else for destroying someones crate.

 

 

just did the special item in a 20+ lobby, a few ceos, I used ghost organization and it was easy.

 

like i thought, only one truck to deliver, had to defend it it from four npc enemies in two suvs

 

i checked and didn't get any bonus though...either it was taken away from using ghost organization (can anyone confirm?) or, you don't get a bonus for special items, only crates.

 

funniest part of it all, after days of looking/finding easily my own public lobby, the moment I want to be in a full lobby to test this stuff, it kicks everyone out and leaves me. (right after I finished defending the truck)

special items don't give a bonus.

[Shootinalloveryourface]

Yes. I didn't know about the high risk bonus so when it popped up it was a real bonus.

 

49k I think

[Grimoire]

I did with a medium warehouse and got jet griefed into Bolivian....Never again. The bonus isn't worth the risk and headache.

[Van_Hellsing]

Tried to collect a crate in a lobby with 10 people. Everybody turned into a d_bag real quick. No way I risk a 1 million delivery.

[MatthewH]

I've solo sold 3 large warehouses in public sessions The lowest player count was 16. Highest was 28. I got $575k bonus for the 28 player run.

[A.I.R]

I try to sell one special cargo whit 5 other player. I end up using ghost organization. Im very paranoid about this.

[Mattoropael]

This isn't a matter of bravery. It's a matter of stupidity.

[Hellbendzor]

Sold my medium warehouse last week with 5 other CEO present and a bunch of loners... Made 918K instead of 735K.. Three briquade deliveries with trackify (so took longer too (first run))... No one attacked. A few passed by, but nothing...

 

Today I did the same but only one CEO present making 772K... After a few minutes a few more joined, but I received no extra bonus money for them being present... So CEO-presence at start of sale is what counts. And them remaining probably... I'll check that out tomorrow...

 

I see no additional risk. Would things go sour, I pull the plug... simple... Literally... For my big warehouse (sale tomorrow) I'll get as many CEO as I can... It adds up there.. that's 110K per CEO extra... :-)

[Death Rains From Above]

I avoid making sales in populated lobbies like the Plague. I'm not going to let some little sh*t in a jet/attack helicopter just fly right in and obliterate my hard work. The extra ~500k earned in a full lobby for a $2.2M sale is no where near worth the trouble.

 

As I've said before, getting the "Everyone Left" issue in a public lobby is now a godsend when doing crate runs & sales. No random a**holes to deal with.

Also to add. I used ghost org on all 3 runs. It's not over cheap at $12k for 3 minutes but the bonus money easily makes up for it.

Nothing less than 30k is worth it, not even 40k if you ask me, you can get that doing 2 VIP jobs anyway.
