So you’ve spotted a gold bar in Schedule 1 and wondered, “Is this just for decoration or what?” The answer is no—it’s actually a sneaky tool for turning your dirty ATM/online money into clean physical cash, and making a profit while you’re at it.

Where to Get Gold Bars
Gold bars are sold by Herbert at Beuball’s Boutique, located:
-
Right next to Ray’s Realty
-
East of the Car Wash
-
Southeast of the Motel
They cost $10,000 each and were added in a recent patch. The boutique is open from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., so make sure you stop by during the day.
What Gold Bars Are For
This is where it gets interesting. Gold bars are basically a way to convert online (dirty) money into physical (clean-ish) cash—and make a profit at the same time.
Here’s how it works:
1. Buy Gold Bars from Herbert
-
Each one costs $10,000, and you can buy multiple at once if you’ve got the funds.
2. Go to the Pawn Shop
-
It’s a new building just south of the Motel.
-
Open from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
-
If the pawn guy (Mick) isn’t there, just save and reload your game—he glitches sometimes.
3. Sell the Gold Bars
-
Every day, Mick offers a different price for gold bars. If it’s too low, wait a day.
-
You can also haggle with him—use the counter-offer option.
-
But be careful: if you push too hard, he’ll get mad.
-
If his anger bar fills up, he might shut you down for the day.
-
4. Profit
-
Example: If you bought a gold bar for $10,000 and Mick offers $13,000 or $16,500, that’s free money.
-
Sell all your bars at once if the price is good, or space them out if you want to try your luck each day.
Important Catch
This trick pulls from your online (dirty) money balance, and gives you physical cash in return. That means you’ll still need to launder your online money before using it again for most things.
But if you’ve got enough money lying around, this method turns laundering into a profit loop—especially helpful once your businesses start generating more than they can clean on their own.
Final Blurb
Gold bars in-game in Schedule 1 are a loophole for turning your shady funds into cash with profit on the side. Buy low from Herbert, sell high to Mick, and enjoy watching your money get slightly less dirty in the process.
