So, i'm afraid this glitch has been fixed with the latest update (1.9.0)...

It was great to share this tip with you guys, but now it's over. The only way left to make money, is to play the game normaly !...

Want to get money quick ? Here's a nice guide which tells you the tips and tricks in how to farm cash like a mad man : https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2114760715

Anyway, it's kind of sad that this got fixed, but I guess a known bug has to be fixed ? I will just leave this guide here, for "historical" purposes. You will find below the content of the guide, but remember : it doesn't work anymore ! :(

If you're still up to do the glitch by somehow downgrading the game, then it used to work up to 1.8.7, no worries.

- This exploit only works with "Build" jobs.

- You need (at least) TWO tables.

- You need the autoconnect tool that automatically connects "external" cables (screen, PSU, mouse and keyboard... (unlocks at level 2 and costs 1000$, but I guess everyone already have it at this point) It allows you to boot the PC after the exploit, since you can't "touch" it with the PCBay post-it label. (thanks craig for the tip)

- Warning about Story Jobs* :
▪ Story jobs, unless specified otherwise, have unlimited budget. You can straight up get the most expensive parts, multiple-radiator watercooling, super case for them. However, if it is stated that the parts must not go over x $ (for example, must stay lower than 700$), then you MUST respect this limit.
▪ You should avoid using this glitch with story jobs. They tend to come back often, and once they came back in your hands, there are chances the PC hasn't been sold yet on PCBay : it results in a bug that gives you two options, you can either remove the PC from PCBay, or wait for the PCBay auction to finish = the PC (which came back ) magically disappears from your office, leading you to a 1-star rating. In order to avoid that, you can reconize the glitched PC before accepting the job, waiting for the PC to be sold on PCBay.

- Here is how it works : Customer requests a new PC. You buy expensive parts, build the PC, and perform the glitch. After that, the customer will get his neat, brand-new PC delivered at his home, while the very same PC is being sold on PCBay. All the parts you bought are paid by the customer (Budget), so you will not lose any money.
Finaly, will end up getting paid with your customer's reward (the Labour amount), and 5 days later, the PC you sold on PCBay.

- The trick is making the client pay as much as possible. Find the most expensive parts that can fit in his budget, while still meeting his expectations (colored cables, AIO cooling, can run X, etc..).
Use this HTML calculator, in order to know what combinaison of parts fit in your budget : https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2120941673

- The actual budget limit is 10% higher (except for story jobs, read above). Multiply by 1.1 to know what's the real budget limit (for example, 2500$ = 2500*1.1 = 2750$, you can actually spend 2750$ max without worrying about 1-star ratings).

- Overclock your components to increase value. RAM, CPU, GPU, do it. Don't forget to benchmark, too.

- Do NOT use used parts. Their value is 1/3 their brand-new equivalent, so it's not worth it.


*Story jobs : They're special jobs that are different from the "generic" quests. You immediatly notice them in general, as those customers have a different way of writing than normal clients. The grandma who paid an i7 for his grandson, or the eSport kid, are "story customers" for example.

More may be added in the future, or with feedback.

If you don't understand some steps or if you prefer to see how to perform the glitch, here is a video.

Read the above before doing the glitch. Reminder : You need (at least) two tables, the PCBay application and the Auto-connect tool, not to mention the glitch only works with Build tasks.

Here are the steps :

1. Build the PC on table 1. If you don't want a 1-star rating, make sure you meet your customer's requirements and don't exceed 10% of his maximal budget.
   
2. If you forgot to overclock the RAM, CPU and GPU (all 3 if possible), do it. It increases the PC's value.
   
3. Run a 3DMark benchmark BEFORE step 4 (otherwise you will lose a lot of money after auctions, thanks PUC_Snakeman for the tip).
   
4. Take a PCBay auction post-it label, and put it on the PC (on table 1). If there is a customer post-it label (the yellow one), remove it before putting the PCBay label on the PC.
   
5. Put the customer post-it label on table 2. (empty)
   
6. Pick the PC up, and put it on table 2 (with the customer post-it label).
   
7. Congratulations, the two post-it labels are stacked one over the other !
   
8. Once it is done, pick up the PC and put it on the delivery zone. You can now get your reward from the customer (usually around 500$), and 5 days later, from the PCBay sale (thousands of $).

I usually get ~500$ from Labour and an additional 2000$ or 3000$ (depending of the budget) from the PCBay sale. In conclusion, you can make 5 or 7 times (sometimes even more) what you would make by playing normaly. This is really time-saving when gathering MASSIVE amounts of cash (1 million, for example), going from hundreds of hours to only 2-digits numbers of hours.

This is a very frequent question when it comes to glitches, exploits and, to a certain extent, cheats.

It is very debatable, as we will probably never have a true answer. Some people think exploits make the game too easy, destroying the fun.... others find the game more enjoyable.

Here's my opinion, if you want to hear it. Do what you want ! Nobody will complain, nobody will be bothered by your exploit, since it's a solo game. So... have fun.

In addition, this glitch can be very helpful to unlock the secret achievement (1 million $ in the bank). Instead of hundreds of hours, you will probably only spend around fifty or sixty hours doing jobs.
