So last night I got 2 Special Items! The film reel & the golden mini gun. They were about 4-5 hours apart.

I just want to shed a tear for the Ornemental Egg bought at a discount by Bertha that was destroyed in a jet attack by a low-ranking player on the way to the warehouse.

There are posts in my update thread on GTAForums indicating a change to Special Cargo Work.
According to those posts players who are not VIP/CEO can no longer interact with Special Cargo missions or destroy Special Cargo crates now.
I have not been in a public lobby this week due to Xmas commitments but has anyone noticed a change on this? Apparently it does not apply to MC work which remains as normal and Vehicle Cargo.
Perhaps Rockstar disabled this to focus on Vehicle Cargo chases now that we have the Import/Export update.
I am gonna try and do some testing of this later today.

So I devised a plan in hope to capitalize on the upcoming Christmas bonus.
I started filling my 3 large warehouse by doing 3 missions a day, one for each warehouse with a couple of Headhunters & a Sandking to pay for the costs ... It would take me 37 days to fill em. If everything goes to plan, I should have 3 fully stocked large warehouses & all Special Items by December 13th ... I finished my quota for day 5.
I could get anywhere from $6.6 millions to $13.2 millions in pure profit by the time I'm done, of course I'm hoping for the latter.

You can get passive profits with cocaine (75k per resupply, 50k profit in 10 min per sale) and guns (75k per resupply, 140k profit per sale). The other MC businesses might get you a bit more (70k profit for meth or cash) but sales can take too long. As for active profits you just need the full import/export warehouse and constant stealing and selling top end cars which gives you 80k profits per round, say about 15 minutes each. Nothing else comes even close, no matter double cash or the likes. So you only need to know what to do during the cooldown time. I usually do a vip mission and a cargo crate mission just to be sure the cooldown is over. Just know warehouses can get raided and it´s on you to defend them against pretty powerful NPCs without the luxury of dying while the Hangar doesn´t get attacked. But I agree: in terms of pure money nothing comes close to getting a 2x$ event for cargo crates and owning multiple full large warehouses. Just take ALL the necessary precautions for those sales

Yep, gotta jiggle multiple businesses to earn that Almighty $! I rotate between VIP work & I\E alongside a GR sale every 2½ hours. I decided to add Crates again to keep things fresh & prepare for the eventual Tula & Pyro sales. Yep, I hear if you stay active doing crates you won't get raided, but I'm not sure ... That's a one use for my Tank, whenever Merryweather strikes, I'll be waiting for them 😈

Here's an update on part I of my plan Operation Christmas:
I've filled my 3 Large warehouses, I obtained 4 Special Items & currently working on filling my Medium warehouse. I think I'll even commingle Special Cargo & Special Items on my Small warehouse & once I sell my Special Items, I'll fill it up.

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this in but have Rockstar actually enabled the 50% bonus for Christmas sales this year as I haven't read anything about it on the other forum and there is nothing on the social club newswire? Granted though it is often late in the day before that gets updated. If it doesn't happen this year though it would mean all of IceDree's hoarding over the last month or two would be for nothing? Well not nothing as it can still be sold of course but the money earned won't be anywhere near as much as hoped for

Definitely. I stand to earn 7.3M as is right now, but 14.6 is a lot better lol.

Now that Operation Christmas crashed & burned quite spectacularly, Operation Phoenix will rise from its ashes ... Cliché I know lol. This time, Operation Phoenix will have a multipronged approach. 1) My Hangar & my large warehouses will remain fully stocked until a wild bonus appears. 2) My collection of Special Items will also remain until further notice. 3) My Medium warehouse is fully operational now. I'll offload it & restock it every week to keep the Special Cargo activity going & minimize the chances of getting raided, I'll do 2 missions everyday. A Crate a Day Keeps The Thief Away ... Operation Phoenix started at Zero Dark Thirty today & I'm in it for the long term, Ya Heard me R?

2) My collection of Special Items will also remain until further notice. Just curious, do the payouts on special items go up when they have bonuses on regular special cargo?
