Losing money on bricks?

[otti]

My mix is worth $250 so a brick of 20 is worth 5K. I gave one brick to a dealer and I gave 20 baggies of the same product to another dealer. I should get 4K back as they take 20%.
So I tested. Both dealers had zero money and no other drugs
The dealer who got the brick ran out in a day and only had $1320 while the one with baggies still had heaps left and was selling them for more than $250.
This a glitch or something else happening here?

You left them some empty inventory space? For they need to break your item into bags and so on. Some people had the same issue where their bricks simply disappeared.

dont start saying this stuff im currently just changing my entire network from jars to bricks

It could be a glitch, though I know the prices of products vary throughout the day as well. But the latest patch MAY have messed a few things up, because I noticed the friendliness level of a bunch of my npcs dropped halfway, even though I had them maxed out

The most efficient way I've been able to turn my dealers into money printers is to reup them every few days with a stack or two of jars, and collect every morning. They hold onto that for a very long time, and it leaves you free to do your networking, mixing, or pong while you just make money.

Definitely do that. Your dealers can break jars and bricks down into baggies. I recommend filling only a couple of their slots with full stacks, they can break the rest down on their own.

but thats what im saying i fill all four dealers with 500 jars, they still break them down it will sometimes read 504 in the phone app when they break the 1st jar down

They need an inventory gap in order to break things down AFAIK, but I've also seen Benji stop by at his room in between deals so I'm not 100% on that

You don't need to leave empty inventory space on your dealers anymore. That's old news. You can fill it up just fine, they've got their own invisible inventory.

Yes they had all spaces empty for this test.
