Does crime pay?

Does crime pay for you? or do you lose more then what you gain?

I don't do crime. Last time I got a bounty was by accident and then I almost got wrecked by a Guard. I quickly paid the bounty off and never strayed from the path since.

Sometimes I wonder. I can wind up paying out more for bounties when pickpocketing than I get paid.Though I do get XP from it.

Haven't paid any bounty, win 110k/day while levelling my DB alt. I just sell every green item I get, and they are a lot.

Apparently, you get an achievement for committing crimes. Crimes pay, I think that is what the achievement is called. Well, if you're looting, it does pay well cause you getting items from 100 to1500 gold or more when you sell to the fence.

I used to make 30k gold/day with 1 character doing TG quests

But now that the Dread Father has called me to his cause, I prefer the "knife to the throat" kind of gold. Also cuz it's faster

Sometimes people leave things so out there for the taking, it's just too tempting...

Crime pays an insane amount, I just loot everything from every container then sell it. If I have a huge bounty I just go do some dungeons.

The only gear way I have seen to get more gold is to get a lucky drop (99% a motif page from recent download)

I got the Black Market Mogul achievement on my main, which requires you to fence goods worth 1 million gold. Since then I've fenced much more on several characters. I rarely get caught, and when I do I make a run for it. I did pay 100k to the fence to get another achievement for clearing bounty, but in the end I'd say my profit margin from thievery should be over 90%.

I net about 15-20k gold each time I max out my 140 selling slots. Takes about 1-2 hours, depending on how fast I'm trying to go. So, it's a fun way to bring in a little coin.

Just don't get caught that often. And when you do, go on a fishing trip until the bounty goes away.

I made some decent picket change selling the liberated possessions of my assassination targets.

I'm very surprised anyone pays bounty. Guards are easy to run away from, and thieves guild passives help the bounty go away rather quickly. Seriously I've never had to pay a bounty off. Coldharbour lets you train riding and other such things as well as the outlaw refuges.
