The Drug Prices Started by: Mafioso on Dec 23, '08 17:59
There is a problem with the adding up because when I buy 15 units of cocaine for 5,924 it charges me $100,000, now I'm not a great mathematicion but I know that it's going to charge me a bit less than $90,000 but it charges me extra then when I sell for 9,387 it then only gives me $120,000 so I think something is wrong with it.


Just to say this was my worst case so usually I only lose $5000 so it's not much of a big deal, so my suggestion is basically to maybe fix it, it might not affect some people but it's really annoying when those drug dealers try to scam me all the time, well there's my two cents

When selling drugs, you have to take into account tax that leaders take, the percentage is controlled by the family head.


As far as costing more than they should, I've never noticed it but it may be a bug affected a few users.

When buying drug prices, what you see is what you pay 99.999% of the time. However, lets say you are looking at drug prices at 16:44 and 54 seconds. You see that coke is 5,500. You now buy them, however, since 30 seconds has passed, it's now 16:45 and 24 seconds, drug prices changed 24 seconds ago, you bought them at the current price, not the expired price shown on your screen. While this happens rarely, you should always be careful when buying/selling drugs at the 59s, 14s, 29s, and 44s knowing that the drugs prices may change seconds later, thus making the prices you looked at "old".


When selling drugs, you have to allow for the taxes your crew leader has. Lets say your crewleader charges 20% taxes on drugs. If you have 5 units of coke that you bought for 5,000, and you sell them for 10,000, you made a total profit of 5000x5=25000, to which 5000 of it goes to your leader, you only get 20,000 of it.

There's an easy way to avoid paying the drug tax to your leader:


Just scurry about unsponsored for a while. I'll organize your protection personally.

That happens to me alot. Right when I'm going to sell or buy them, the price changes to something else and this makes me loose alot of money.

But it's not changing at the last second it actually isn't adding up my money right, because I bought heroin for 4,574 and I payed $110,000 for it then sold it for 9,655 and I only got $150,000 which is annoying

It's happening to me too. I don't know why but it's charging me more than it should and when I sell them I don't get as much as I should. Either the taxes for my family go up to like 70% when I sell something or it's just not adding up my money right.

Drugs are weird.. stop the dealing

Nah just kiddin, I'm only dealing low buyprice drugs, but I notice the same thing guys

I have noticed this with Drugs, but i think both the Rourkes and Jedi are correct. There are a few different factors in play here, which on a longshot, could contribute to your present dilemma

I just bought marihuana for like 6 dollars pp, so there's nothing wrong with the prices I recon :)
