Small warehouse... Not worth it?

I'm doing these solo, and using a buzzard. When the crates get split up it takes longer as i can only carry one at a time.

When I done it yesterday, out of 8 runs, 5 of them split up, so increasing the time it took.

Also, these calculations you make, are they actually including the time it takes to deliver the stuff as well?

 

I timed mine from first mission to getting the payment after the final delivery. 2hrs.

It takes about two miutes per crate in a Hydra when they split, sometimes youre looking at 9 even 10 minutes for those missions but trucks can sometimes be done in 3 minutes. I have no idea why it's taking you so long, you should be able to fill a small warehouse in 50 minutes no problem which is a LOT different than 2 hours, not that I'd be wasting time with a small.

I timed it from start to final delivery when I got the cash. Used a buzzard and didn't hang about. You have to wait 5mins for the mission cool downs so that's 30mins alone. So you did 8 deliveries and the drop offs in 20mins!

My advice dont grind crate because you are going to get bored if you do it solo. And what @Mach1bud say They are a long term investment.

Edit: Also unlocks the CEO vehicles unless buying a large just unlocks the small and medium vehicles too.

 

Can anyone confirm this? I've been wondering.

 

S = XLS

M = Rumpo

L = Brocade

 

If you buy just a L do you get access to all 3?

Theres no cooldown with more than one warehouse, that's your problem. If you take 10 hours to fill your 2 large then spend 15 minutes to sell both it's pretty insignificant extra time.

That's still an hour and a half to fill and deliver each warehouse. You have two small warehouses I take it.

I'll say it again.

I had one small warehouse.

Picked up 8 deliveries, sometimes these would split so it took longer to take them back.

Then I had to deliver them via 2 planes.

Even if I had two small warehouses it would still have taken 90mins each warehouse.

Maybe I'm missing something but you're buying 2 crates at a time and respecting the cooldown so of course it will take longer.

 

If you had 2 small warehouses and bought 3 crates at a time, at 6 jobs per hour, it would take just over 2h to fill and sell both (depending on Sell mission type).

In my opinion the small warehouse is too... small to make a profit. I prefer the medium warehouse. It only takes 14 deliveries to fill it up entirely and it sells for 735k. I usually sell in a crowded lobby to earn an additional 100k. That's close to a million, which isn't too bad in my opinion.

3 crates for a medium warehouse is worth it?

 

For me it is. I only have one warehouse so in between crate deliveries I do some VIP work. One round of Headhunter earns back my 18k (it pays a minimum of 20k so you actually make 2k profit) and by the time I'm done I can do the next crate delivery mission. So I'd say it's worth it.

Well I took the plunge and bought a small warehouse and spent 2hrs filling it up, and delivering the goods, buying 2 crates at a time.

Sold the warehouse for $240k

Spent $64k, profit of $176k.

 

So $88k an hour....

 

Not great.

 

It really depends on how you run them. Delivering a single crate is not worth at any level (111 crates at 1 crate delivery comes out to 90k an hour). However, multiple crates the money can be really good. If you run 3 crates, do 5 delivers, then sell, it comes out to ~135K an hour. If you run Sightseer in-between delivers then you'll make ~133K an hour and your associates will make ~136K once they get to the 10K 15 minute salary. That's about level with missions.

 

Like others have said, the payout gets better the more time you into it. For more information check this out: Complete Crate Breakdown

...This too, I can not imagine how boring it would be filling up the large warehouse , I think I am going to stick to my small warehouse, and maybe add one more ...

Don't do that... You can sell a medium or large warehouse when they hit 16 and make exactly what you'd make on a small, if not marginally more... If you've got a larger one, buying a small is a waste of money.

How would you make "marginally more" by selling the exact same crate amount from different sized warehouse?

Forget small warehouses.. THERE'S NO COOLDOWN WITH 2 WAREHOUSES. It's impossible to take 90 minutes to fill each with 2. Seriously, theres no possible way you can take more than 10 minutes per 3 crates average including everything, buying the crates, leaving the office and returning to buy more crates. 6 x3 crate per hour, 18 crates per hour, that's as slow as you'll ever go.

large is the only efficient way to go, and it must be 3 crates in a empty loby

I bought a small warehouse too.

Started out buying one crate at a time and filling it twice.

In the end I was selling at 9 crates.

I'm bored of them after almost $9million worth of sales.

Now I just want a clean office.

Preferably a new office. I won't deliver crates to mess it up.

Some people swear they can make $200-300k an hour. Please tell me how!

final heist exploit with friends. One leaves at the end, everybody els get paid and the heist host can heist right again a minute later.

I wondered how the group i hitched up with today kept repeating heists, I couldn't believe my luck!

I need to play this mod more, but surely more warehouses makes it easier to finish a mission to collect the crate. Last time I tried to collect more crates, there seemed like five jets and as many armored vehicles in the lobby, a griefers mega party.

Be careful listening to people claiming 300+ an hour with warehouses. Many of them don't factor in cost to buy crates. Having done the real, honest math, exclusively buying crates vs exclusively doing VIP nets pretty similar incomes.

 

I tend to work in VIP missions while filling my large warehouse. Combined efforts net me about 200 or so an hour. I only do 2 crates to reduce time in the event of a split crate. I also only run Headhunter and Hostile to keep me in LS. Sightseer has a nasty habit of taking you to the top of the map.

 

Right now I'm working on my gold trophy and filling my office with cash. Once those goals have been met I won't touch crates again, they really aren't any more lucrative than VIP and definitely not as good as Pac Standard.

 

Here's the deal...even at 3 million the most expensive car can be had in about a week of play, two if you're casual. Making money is pretty simple, just change it up and have fun.

No warehouses are worth it. When are people going to realise. You spend money to make money. And everywhere else, you just make money.

 

For me, anyone still doing crate work is a rube. Rockstar played you all and you went along.

 

Seriously, you are trying to earn money by throwing away money and risking it being destroyed?

You are failing at crates too, as soon as anyone says I mix in VIP jobs you know they are doing it wrong because VIP pay is rubbish compared to doing a second warehouse in crates and yes of course I factor in buying the crates. Each crate sells for 20k, they cost 6k to buy. 14k x 3 (42k) is your profit every 8 minutes average. Very simple. It's been explained so many times, it's not that hard to listen surely.

So basically have two warehouses?

I only got a medium one right now and 1.4 mil, is it worth getting another medium one?

The only way I'd ever do crate activities again would be if I had an exorbitant amount of money that I needed to quickly invest before an impending money sweep (ala billionaire days). Even then I would do it begrudgingly. Loathsome game mode (imo).

I think it has to do with the amount of goods you have stored and your virtual "leverage" (or whatever your assistant calls it) and the increased value you get for larger sales. I checked the value of the crates in my large warehouse when it hit 32 crates, and it was worth more than the total selling price of two small warehouses that were completely filled. I wanna say it was worth $500k for 32 in one large vs $480k for two smalls. Once I empty it, I'll check the value at 16 crates.

I'd fill one more medium to buy a large, then alternate between the medium and large. Dont buy another medium if you can help it.

Seriously, some of you ass clowns need to stop for a moment and realize your way of doing something isn't the way other people want to do something.

 

Simple fact...VIP missions can be staggered in such a way that the cool down timers between them allow for a near back to back to back execution. This has been highlighted in multiple posts several times but I'll assume you're just not listening. Secondly, VIP missions can be done quickly, in a private session, and will net your friends (if you have them) additional funds as well when they play along.

 

Crate fetches at 3 per and a cost of 18k do not AVERAGE 8 minutes. If you end up with a string of individual pickups like the gang fights at the mansion, the drop zones on the beach on the other side of LS, or even the boats out in the ocean, it'll take twice as long. The game seems to be pretty good at doing a 60-40 split between trucks and split crates. I have had a lucky string of nearly all trucks but likewise I've had sh*tty strings of nearly all split crates as well.

 

Lastly, if you're really worried about profit margins, just play Pac Standard. If you don't already have a dozen friends that do it on a daily basis there are people here that will recruit able bodied people to do the "glitch" every day. Personally, I hate running crates back to back to back to back to fill up two warehouses. I like to sprinkle in variety to my play sessions and do several different activities. As I stated at the end of my last statement, change it up and have fun...if you're not having FUN...well those are the people that are "doing it wrong".

They arent meant to be a fast way to make money. They are a long term investment.

 

"Investing" in a method that nets 80K per hour. You could invest absolutely NOTHING and earn more than that doing almost any other activity.

 

 

Some people swear they can make $200-300k an hour. Please tell me how!

That's the method to make @ 1M per hour

 

 

 

What I want to know is if a large or medium warehouse would be worth it if you're doing it alone, no one helping,

 

There's a 13+ page thread on this topic. AND you can always quick close your application or pull your network cable or flick off the power switch to your console/PC if you think things are about to turn to sh*t for you, or if you just want a different sell scenario.

 

A medium warehouse gives you 346k per hour, a large one gives you 360k per hour, bite the bullet and choose which one closest to your office.

 

I'd love to see someone record a 1 hour youtube video of this. It sounds very optimistic.

 

I keep a small one filled for npc gang raids since they're based on percentage full not total # of crates.

 

Large and medium are must have if you're trying to make money fast.

 

Got raided last night 98% full large. Out in the middle of Sandy Shores, 1:30minutes cooldown for my buzzard. Close application, didn't lose one single crate.

It's a shame it's such a stupid mechanic. If I wouldn't potentially lose two hours worth of work shagging crates I'd have tried to get back to town to fend off the bandits. They put up a pretty good fight. First time I got them I was in town and in a fast vehicle.

I bought the small warehouse since the very first day, so let me share my experience.

 

First of all, THIS IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO GRIND.

No, really. This is a "alternative way" to play the game and earn some money. (IF YOU ARE IN SOLO SESSION :lol: )

 

Look, if you do sightseer + any contact mission (trash talk is the best) + headhunter, you will make 50-60k in almost 15-20 minutes. That's almost 200k per hour. This "loop" depends on what you get on sightseer, but it's pretty easy to do.

 

 

But, like i said, this CEO thing is "alternative".

Im my opnion, the small warehouse is NOT WORTH IT. Let me explain my point:

When you fill the small warehouse, the mission to sell all crates will require two players, right? If luck is on your side and you get the truck mission, good for you.

 

But, on a medium warehouse, you can store more than 16 crates. So, if you store something like 20-25 crates, you can have more profit and in a SOLO MISSION. That's a break point between small and medium, at least for me.

I failed to sell one full small warehouse once...it's so goddamn frustating! After that, i only buy crates for medium warehouse, so i can get easier missions.

 

 

If you are in a hurry for money, do VIP works and trash talk.

Seriously, rushing to fill warehouse is a bad idea. Especially when you have to make 3 trips for each crate. Besides, even if you rush the sh*t out of this, imagine your face if you failed to sell the crates? Think of the time you lost...

 

If you're not in a hurry, take it easy then. Buy some crates, do VIP works, driving around...you know, just play the game.

Don't go crazy willing to buy stuff today. Unfortunately, GTA has become a MMO. So you have to grind or buy Shark Cards...

Using his example of 16 crates, regardless of warehouse size, it sells for 240K. The only difference in profit margins will be dictated by the amount you purchased the crates for. There is no bonus for selling the same amount of crates from different size warehouse.

 

Your example of 32 would obviously sell for more than 2 sales of 16 because the crates increase value.

I appreciate your experience, but take this from someone who owns all size warehouses and has executed successful sales of every magnitude. Crate sales, if done right, have a payout that falls in between missions and heists. IF you play it with friends, then it pays better than VIP+missions.

 

Let's do this on a small scale. If you can fill a small warehouse, 3 crates at a time (sell at 15/ 5 runs) within an hour, then you'll make 135K an hour. Which is already better than running missions solo. Unfortunately, your friends will only make 40K an hour at max for that (10K every 15min). Which is horribly for your Associates. So lets try throwing VIP missions in.

Let's do a run of Sightseer after every crate run (of 3),

 

135K in 1.5 hours (crates)

+110K in 1.5 hours (Sightseer (22K*5)

245K in 1.5 hours

 

(245/3)*2= 163.33....K an hour for the CEO

 

60K in 1.5 hours (Associate pay)

+110K in 1.5 hours (Sightseer)

170K in 1.5 hours

 

(170/3)*2= 113.33....K an hour for the Associates

 

Let's try this for grinding solo missions:

 

9K in 5 minutes

x12 runs an hour

108K an hour

 

With two players

 

10K in 5 minutes

x12 runs an hour

120K an hour

 

With three players

 

11K in 5 minutes

x12 runs an hour

132K an hour

 

With 4 players

 

12K in 5 minutes

x12 runs an hour

144K an hour

Now we can see here that with a small warehouse that the pay for the CEO is better than grinding missions with four people, and for the Associates it's about equal to running missions solo/two people. All with no loading screens, no mission menus, no being stuck in the clouds for 5 minutes, no getting timed out of the session, etc.

 

Now unfortunately the pay doesn't get any better for the Associates, but it is enough money that it has not taken me long to get three of my friends into a position to become their own CEO's.

Be careful listening to people claiming 300+ an hour with warehouses. Many of them don't factor in cost to buy crates. Having done the real, honest math, exclusively buying crates vs exclusively doing VIP nets pretty similar incomes.

 

I tend to work in VIP missions while filling my large warehouse. Combined efforts net me about 200 or so an hour. I only do 2 crates to reduce time in the event of a split crate. I also only run Headhunter and Hostile to keep me in LS. Sightseer has a nasty habit of taking you to the top of the map.

 

Right now I'm working on my gold trophy and filling my office with cash. Once those goals have been met I won't touch crates again, they really aren't any more lucrative than VIP and definitely not as good as Pac Standard.

 

Here's the deal...even at 3 million the most expensive car can be had in about a week of play, two if you're casual. Making money is pretty simple, just change it up and have fun.

You are failing at crates too, as soon as anyone says I mix in VIP jobs you know they are doing it wrong because VIP pay is rubbish compared to doing a second warehouse in crates and yes of course I factor in buying the crates. Each crate sells for 20k, they cost 6k to buy. 14k x 3 (42k) is your profit every 8 minutes average. Very simple. It's been explained so many times, it's not that hard to listen surely.

 

Seriously, some of you ass clowns need to stop for a moment and realize your way of doing something isn't the way other people want to do something.

 

Simple fact...VIP missions can be staggered in such a way that the cool down timers between them allow for a near back to back to back execution. This has been highlighted in multiple posts several times but I'll assume you're just not listening. Secondly, VIP missions can be done quickly, in a private session, and will net your friends (if you have them) additional funds as well when they play along.

 

Crate fetches at 3 per and a cost of 18k do not AVERAGE 8 minutes. If you end up with a string of individual pickups like the gang fights at the mansion, the drop zones on the beach on the other side of LS, or even the boats out in the ocean, it'll take twice as long. The game seems to be pretty good at doing a 60-40 split between trucks and split crates. I have had a lucky string of nearly all trucks but likewise I've had sh*tty strings of nearly all split crates as well.

 

Lastly, if you're really worried about profit margins, just play Pac Standard. If you don't already have a dozen friends that do it on a daily basis there are people here that will recruit able bodied people to do the "glitch" every day. Personally, I hate running crates back to back to back to back to fill up two warehouses. I like to sprinkle in variety to my play sessions and do several different activities. As I stated at the end of my last statement, change it up and have fun...if you're not having FUN...well those are the people that are "doing it wrong".

 

 

No.. Theres no crate mission that takes longer than 11 minutes even if you drown your Hydra once. Drops on the beach is a prett fast one, about 2 minutes per crate flight time. The crates are way more fun than vip for me, they are like proper missions and theres 100 or more variations. I've timed myself over multiple hours and I average 300k or a touch over. There isnt anyway to match that with vip but theres always more time to find/save in ceo. It's old school mission grinding for speed brought back to life, the games fun has been restored. How can you get bored when the stop watch is after you.
