How to potentially fix Dealer not selling in Schedule 1 bug
Here is a quick overview of some workarounds for the Dealer not selling in Schedule 1 issue:
- The simplest method is to restart your game when this error occurs. You can also choose to load a previously saved file. Although you would lose some progression, you might be able to reset your dealers and solve the problem.
- You can try completely removing all of the products from a dealer’s inventory. Once this is done, you can repopulate with the items and send them on their way. It is important to provide dealers with drugs that their customers require to ensure sales. A mismatch of demand and supply can block deals and freeze one of your income sources.
- Make sure that you are not selling the product to the same customer. This means that you would need to allow your dealers to conduct business with others without stepping in. However, you must complete any incomplete deals that were initiated with you. Dealers can be assigned to customers later for all future drops.
