Dealers are useless?

[󠁳 ⁧HardLimiter]

I play with a friend and I have a focus on weed.
For me, I´ll sell my weed each for 150 and all NPC´s accept that.
I gave a dealer one stack jar (20x5) which means 100x150 = 15000 Cash

We always make our deals for 5x or 10x.
After my dealer sold everything, he gave me only 2000 from 15000, if I sell them myself.

And I have on a day deals for ~25 jars.
I made something like 20k each day with 1-2 stacks.
But dealers gave me just 2k! for a stack..

I belive They sale for ther normal price, set in You phone app, and without any haggle.

Also They take 20% of deal so yeah, it will be less. But ask Yourself, if is it worthy to run around city 100 times each day, just because You get a bit less? If You ok with, that then have fun.
I rather gamba some money in casino or find some cool mixes.

[Havok]

They are hardly worthless.

I get about 30-40k from them every other irl day. The trick is that you need to make some decently expensive product and give them a lot of it, and then forget about them

[This PC]

yeah huuh, I don't know man but collectively, my dealers make me much more money, and the only work I really do is ferrying weed from barn to docks to process it, and then go and give it to my dealers, aside from running my own deals in the night.

Am at the point where sometimes I just wanna do some setup work and I turn off sales for like a week, let my dealers sell stuff. At the point where you're printing bricks, you're not looking at edging max price for each unit of weed, you're looking at getting profits in with the least amount of work involved ie: make your own time efficient.

I print way more weed than me and my dealers combined can sell everyday anyways. :P

Yea, as above stated, they sell it at whatever price it is listed in the phone for, and then they take a 20 percent cut

[Elegant Caveman]

Dealers sell for a bit more (maybe ~10% average? I haven't tested in depth, just seemed to be a tiny bit more) than the "official asking price" that you set in your phone.

Is your weed set at ~150/unit in your phone, or are you just upcharging that with counter-offers manually?

yeah the problem is, if I put the price on my phone too high, nobody want my stuff.
But if I let the price on normal and change the price manually at the phone, than they agree 99%.
It doesn´t make sense for me.

I put wedding ass on phone for 90 -> no deals.
I put it on 88 -> too many deals. -> I change all the deals to 5x or 10x and the price for 100-150 for one weed -> cleary all NPC´s accept that.

It would be much better if I set the price directly to 100 or 150 but it´s not possible.

And I know that they get 20% but even if I have the normal price for 90, which means 9000 cash.
He gave me 2000 for 20 jars, which are 100x wedding ass.
Give me 4 NPCs which 5x each, I´ll have my 2k in 30 seconds.

And the fact that he gave me 2k from 9k, that´s not 20%.
He gave me 20% not for himself.

If I set the price to 90, I get no deals on my phone.
If I set it to 88, I´ll get lots of deals.
I change them to 5 or 10 for a better/faster deal.

NPC´s don´t want my drugs for 90 each but in counter-offers they´ll buy them for 100-150 each.
It´s a little bit annoying but yeah.

But even if my dealer sold them for 90, 100x weeding.
It´s never 2k for me.

[Wype]

Ya its just for convince.

You get more exp (i think its double from my calculations) & much money especially if you set all deals to curfew for the extra 20% bonus ontop of the uprise in price customer offer.

[G4M5T3R]

Every. single. bit. of progress in this game is directing you toward becoming a king pin, and kings don't do the labor. Dealers deal for you, workers work for you, no one does it for free.

The optimal play through for pure profit means only dealing it yourself and ideally only after curfew. idk about you but that sounds tedious, repetitive, and boring.

Then I don't know what to say.

If the price on the phone is 90, and you gave your dealer 100, that should be at least 7200$ for you (9000$ -20%), and probably even a bit more.

If you really only got 2000$ in that situation... no idea what's happening.

Huh.. I'm going to test for this. I haven't felt (or noticed) them taking more than 20% Are you sure he sold everything before you collected?

[Slackerdude74]

Just punch(no weapon) the dealer giving you the problem, and see what happens.

Yeah.
I gave the dealer in the garage, in his tent a full stack of wedding ass (jar).
I forgot him and after few ingame days, I checked him.
His inventory was empty and he had only ~2100 or something.

My base price is 88, because I get no deals with 90.
And I change the amount and price always for each deal.

I saw few posts about "best customer for dealer xyz"
I don´t know if it changes something, because I gave him just random npcs for testing.
Because benji was really annoying, he ignored many deals.
That´s why we ignored these dealers and sell them.
My friend can´t see two npcs, blue hair and purple, elisabeth? and Jessie, if I´m right.
She never can see them.
I mean, there are bugs in game, it´s fine.
But few things are really annoying.

Handler put always wrong stuff in station.
We already have a recipe with 3 different materials and he put always one stuff into all slots.
That´s why she don´t play with these npcs.

And I tested few things for myself, like with these dealers.
Because I produce so much weed on a day.

I saw comments about a common bug if you put too much jars and bricks into their inventory (dealer) that drugs despawn.
Because they need empty slots if they split jars and bricks.
But I only fill one slot with a jar stack.

I will test it later with one jar again for all dealers.
See if I get different results

Edit:
I gave a dealer 1 brick -> 20xSlimy Haze.
Put the price on max 999.
Which means 999x20 = 20.000

Dealer gave me 11.800 for all.

Nearly 50%

Dealers wouldn't be giving you 19980 in the first place. They take 20% of each deal. The most you could get is 15,984, assuming all 20 sold at 999 a piece. Dealers don't always sell at the exact price you set either. Sometimes they go under.

From what was sold, they made 14,160 out of the 19980 before the 20% dealer cut they take. That's around 75%, not 50%.

What is the suggested default price of your product before you raised it to 999?
