Selling in GTAO Free Mode - The Best vs. The Worst Ways

[Gettin up]

Import/Export is the best way and also my favourite as an associate. MC gotta be the worst.

There's a thread around here that sets out a fine schedule for raking in the Benjamins. In a nutshell, it's a 2.5 hour cycle and geared towards lone wolves. You buy one lot of supplies for the bunker and a biker business (ideally, the Sandy Shores coke factory) at $75K each, then you source and sell cars (using the 10/10/12 method to guarantee only Top End cars) punctuated with Headhunter missions until the business has used up the one block of supplies, then you sell that (essentially guaranteeing a single-vehicle delivery), rinse and repeat.

 

Looking at something in the neighbourhood of $300K per hour (actually approx $800K over the 2.5 hours, but I'm allowing for the random f*ckery of public free roam), no associates required.

 

Seems pretty solid to me, but I've yet to actually complete a whole cycle to provide definitive proof. I'll dig up that other thread and post it below for those interested.

I favor I/E for everything, because... I CAN USE THE CARGOBOB FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING... and everything is better with a Cargobob, of course.

 

I equally despise MC for everything listed... if for no other reason than because I've gotten incredibly spoiled by being able to call in a free Buzzard when in a CEO Organization, whereas in an MC only the Road Captain is allowed to pay to call in an unarmed Buzzard.

Well Import/Export is my personal choice for income.

 

I keep telling my ignorant friend to do Import/Export instead of selling MC Stocks, the amount of time it takes him to sell $200,000 on one of the MC Stocks, I have made 4 times more money from my Vehicle Warehouse, and now look at him, he sold literally all of his cars just to be able to buy the Bunker and MOC, with no money to spare for any of the other stuff in the DLC.

Gunrunning is probably the worst, compared to the three others at least

Gunrunning is the worst? I pay $75k for supplies and sell them for $210k three hours later. $135k profit (minimum) for doing nothing, other than spending 5-8 minutes selling; plus it's only 1 delivery vehicle.

 

Compare that to coke at $53k and meth at $31.5k using the same method. I don't have the other businesses, but I assume the profit is even worse with those

 

I/E is still the best, but GR is now 2nd by a mile

Personally my main focus when grinding for money is I/E. I play solo and find I/E to be the easiest to bring consistent cash with a Cargobob.

 

As many others do, I snag a Headhunter mission as often as I can to fund my I/E business and pay for taxes. If I have some free time in between I/E and Headhunter I will snag some crates or resupply my bunker. I have a medium and small warehouse and sell once I have 27/9 crates. 2 vehicles are needed for the larger load and only 1 for smaller load. If I'm not comfortable with the current FR environment I won't sell the larger load. Both sales are pretty easy to manage solo and I haven't been raided yet.

 

I don't focus too much on the crates, so it is a nice extra once it is time to sell (a little over 700K). I really haven't put much into the gunrunning dlc yet, so I'm trying to find how that will fit into my usual money making routine.

 

I don't have a lot of time to play GTA:O, so I really have no idea how far into the gunrunning dlc I will get before the next big thing hits. Everything is just so [email protected] expensive in it - First world problems!
