Set a maximum bid
Decide your maximum bid per locker before you enter the bidding area. Once you commit to a number, walk away if it is exceeded — sunk-cost bidding is the fastest way to lose cash.
Factor in cargo weight
If your vehicle cannot haul the full locker contents in a single trip, your real profit is reduced by the time cost of multiple trips. Bid lower or skip on lockers that exceed your vehicle's weight limit.
Target high-base items
Locksmith safes and items with high base retail prices (Tix Wristband, SMG, Moped, Scrap Dominus) are worth aggressive bids. Low-base filler items rarely justify a premium bid.
Sell at the Mall, not the auto-shop
Always run Dirty items through the Mall wash before selling — washing is free and may roll Pure (1.875x) or Spotless (3.125x). Always repair to 100% condition before grading.
