If you don't have the collector merit yet, I have the items available for lease.
It is ultimately FREE FOR YOU.
How does it work?
You pay me the market value of the items. I'll send them to you. You store them for 31 days, get your merit, and start a trade to return it. I return your collateral.
If you do not return them by day 35, they are yours to keep and I will keep the collateral.
If you don't have cash but you have items for collateral, I'll add 10m for my profit. Items for collateral must be approved first.
1. Start by searching for cash. Stick to the green crimes and get some starting cash.
2. Go to the equipment in the market. Look for melee weapons. Buy hammers and lead pipes that are priced at least 20% below Al's buy price, so no more than $40 for a hammer, $80 for a lead pipe. Continue on through the other melee weapons, then secondary weapons, primary weapons, and armor. The 80% rule is subjective. You need to make it worth your effort. Spending a lot of time making $1 per isn't very profitable.
3. Go to Al's Gun Shop as you run out of money and sell all the weapons back to him.
4. Repeat until you have money to spend on items without immediate payoff.

Now we are going to set up sales on the marketplace. You can use whatever you want but there are a few things to remember.
1. The market charges 3% at the time of this writing but is set to go uo to 5%. We will assume 5%. Find an item, let's say a sheep plushie. The sheep plushie sells reliably at $750 but people will try to move them so they sell them at $600. So if you buy in bulk at $600 and resell immediately at $750, they will sell. If you sell at $750, torn will take $38 leaving you with a $112 profit per. If you buy and sell 100, you've made $11,200 with a few clicks.
2. Apply this method to any items you feel will sell. Go back to the equipment when you run out of money to buy and sell on the market. You can do this indefinitely.
3. Be patient. Items will sell as long as you price them properly. I can start with $0, and in 4 or 5 hours be sitting on $4m pretty reliably.
I am using Torn PDA on mobile. When I click to get more information about the crime it shows things like "Driver's License 1,579/1638." The demonimator shifts the more I do the crime. See the attached ohoto.
I offer the collector merit free. Here is how it works.
We do a trade. Your 450m collateral for my 5 collectibles. You store them for 30 days until you get the merit. Then you initiate a trade back. I get my collectibles. You get your 450m. If you dont initiate the trade by day 35 then you lose your collateral.
I have an employee who has gone inactive. He is at -87 effectiveness but is still providing some. I've heard a cold body is better than no body but is that true? If I fire him will my effectiveness drop due to having an empty slot or will it go up due to losing the -87?
What about if his effectiveness drops to a total of zero?
