Cocaine help

[SoggyDorito65]

In gta online i have a cocaine lockup with the staff upgrade, when i buy a full stock for $75,000 i only get about $20,000 worth of cocaine. is this because i only just bought it and its still settling in or is it something else? (btw no-one tell me just to steal stock cause im not doing that)

Hmmm, sorry but I have to bite.

You BUY stock? (cue two weeks of laughing) - my apologies. It's much more fun to steal the materials necessary and to subsequently engage in all of the shenanigans that follows. C'mon you're actually paying good money for supplies? How in Trevor's name (hallowed be the dark one who sleeps with bovines on train tracks) do you make money if your finished product is intercepted or destroyed?

Stealing supplies and all of that fun is what makes GTA-V worth playing!

1) Steal supplies always,

2) Steal supplies always.

If 1 and 2 fail you remember that you're a felonious drug dealer and that morals and business ethics don't apply to you. You are cocaine dealing scum: act like it.

[Memo]

Don't listen to them.

Profit-wise - it's better to buy supplies for all your businesses, and while they produce, you can do other activities. But to make profit from buying supplies, you need to have bought both Equipment & Staff upgrade. If you have just the Staff one, you're still in the "-" when you buy the goods. Security is a must buy as well, imo, because I just hate raids with a passion :P .

Fun-wise - yeah, sometimes it's fun to do some steal missions, but I do those rarely. Mostly it's better for everyone just to buy the goods and focus on something else.

Most of my supplies thefts involve cruising up and shooting the **** out of two drivers, four outriders or less and then eliminating any player who suddenly has a case of the "in like flint's" and try to intercept you. 99.9% of the time the NPCs are easily dispatched. Come on! ANY player worth their salt can take out twenty NPCs in under three minutes, two if they're good so a lousy biker gang isn't going to be even worth breaking step over. I certainly don't. I roll in, TERMINATOR style and simply eliminate 'em.

I buy cause instead of spending my time stealing i can go do some import export. and btw import export is way more fun than stealing supplies

Time is money.

You need 2-3 steal runs to get full supplies.
In that time, you can do other, much more profitable stuff instead.

The most obvious is helping your crew on their sales.
5x MC sales = $150k, but only takes about 30 minutes.
In 30 minutes you probably can't even fully supply one MC business.
And your competent crew will make sure that no one is interfering.

Seriously, I've lost 10 times more stock because of stupid bugs, than to hostile players.
