All that random stuff in the store, what's the deal?

[JukesOfHzrd420]

I am just curious to see if anyone has found an actual use for the items that we can buy in the store, or the ones you have in the truck when you start. I'm talking about the random cardboard boxes, wire bundles, and basically anything that doesn't have a "key feature" like a gas can, power cell and those type of things. Is it just a way to make a quick buck?

They're trade goods.

In short, yes, Its a way to make a quick buck, but thats assuming the goods in your cab dont get damaged.

It might seem like a waste of time, but it can help offset the required purchases like filters, batteries, etc.

You sell those items to places with high demand and generally buy more from places with lower demand to make a profit, storing them in cardboard boxes or the bigger containers helps keep stuff from getting damaged and losing value. Great way to make money along with hauling.

From what I can tell the plastic containers and cardboard boxes can store most stuff and protects them from damage. The power cells, CCPs, and air filters are used in the truck. While everything else is solely meant for trading. Buy low sell, high kind of thing.
