Wholesale shopping not worth it?

[AelaTheFoxx]

Has anyone noticed so far that wholesale shopping (using the truck) vs. tablet/shipping isn't that different in expenditures at the end of the day? I only really noticed a $300-$400 difference on similar days (no upgrades, same bills, etc.) I'd rather spend my time using the tablet and speeding through multiple days than spending close to an hour or more running around town to save $400. Just my opinion but so far I'm not a fan. Cool idea, but just doesn't work. Would love to hear if anyone has really gotten it to be lucrative.

Никому не удалось, обновление похоже не удачное вышло, закупка оптом вообще не выгодна.

I like it, and it does increase profits per day which this game badly needs.. but I do agree it adds how long it takes to get thru a game day which is not great, but when stocking up on a bunch of liquor and some other higher cost items, in the long run the profit gains will be worth it when spending 50% of the item cost, it definitely not going to show in one days worth of sales, especially if the items you bought didnt sell many
and the Dev is never going to make it easy to get money in the game, it is always going to be a grind one way or the other

ive been using it to only get high priced stuff half off, like meats that come in a small box

I am making an extra 4000 profit a day now. The more you use the truck and market, you get quicker. i can stock the store in 30 minutes real time. The dev doesn't want this to be a quick game. I hated this update but it is growing on me.

I'm using it only for really expensive items, like meat, fish, salmon, suhis, .. cause the fuel is WAY to expensive as f to make it worth the time it takes for everything

I find the wholesale to be more beneficial myself. I am seeing an increase of nearly 3K profits

I only use it for high prices things like some meats, sushi, things like that. I will have about 12 boxes of each in the storage room, when that goes about out i make 1 trip with my car and get it filled, the other stuff i just do with the tablet. Then i do think the savings are great. But then after that i need to feaul up, there goes the profit lol

I think the new features are suitable for early game, high-priced products. I built a new archive to try, and the operating income increased significantly.
I've only opened two licenses so far, but my daily revenue has reached 2000.

30 minutes for 4K? I've been interested to see how fast this can be done with practise and how much profit this would actually result in. Considering I make 4-7K in 15 minutes, ignoring the local markets, that's not a good trade. You'll only get through 4 in-game days at the rate -- with an average of 8.5K (max) each time -- in the time you could otherwise crack on through 12 in-game days, at the regular 4.5K. That means, over a 3 hour block, you'll make about 34K using the local markets and 54K ignoring them.

Taking me a bit to figure out what is best and realised just to do high end profit items, which almost boosts profits by double. Fill shelves to max with those items and while stockers refilling the store go out and buy few more other ones like fruit and veg but dont go overboard and waste time. While game running during day go out and buy/stack goods outside ready to fill truck.

Looks like, if you're profit doubling/matching local shopping, takes any longer than 13 minutes -- you're looking at a loss.

Ну.. Если закупать коробки меньше 20ти баксов то вообще профит не заметен(бакосв 300), но профит виден если брать от 80+(с учетом бенза профит порядка 800+ бачей).

You've just stumbled upon an age old debate.
It really comes down to one simple question, and it's one that every human should be asking themselves: How much is my time worth?

For me, time is the most valuable resource in my life, therefore I want to maximize what I get out of it. Everyone has different priorities though, success to one could be failure to another.

I really feel like you're not supposed to be using this feature for everything. It's your decision to decide which products are worth the time and money savings, and this decision can shift throughout the game. I've always dreaded the days of restocking meats and this is going to be a huge money saver for that.

If it was any faster or more fuel efficient, it would be overpowered and make the online purchases obsolete. Making those financial decisions is the point of the game.

I havent used it yet but i will during the day. My store runs itself so they can do without me :)
