Complete Guide to SKU Codes & The Black Market

As a video store manager, managing your movie inventory is your primary job. While ordering bundle packs from the in-game PC is the standard way to get new movies, what do you do if you lose a specific limited edition tape or want to order a particular title? You need its SKU Code to order it from the Black Market.

1. How to Find & Use SKU Codes

Every single movie tape in the game has a unique identification number known as the SKU Code.

• Inspecting Tapes: To find a SKU code natively, simply pick up any tape you currently own and press F to inspect it. Look on the left side of your screen between "Copies Owned" and "Review Score".
• Using the Code: Boot up your store's PC and navigate to the Black Market tab. Enter the SKU code to instantly purchase a specific copy of that movie.

2. The Secret Back Alley Bootlegger

There is another way to interact with shady movie dealers outside of the PC monitor. Welcome to the physical Black Market.

• When & Where: Every Tuesday and Thursday at 9 PM, a bootlegger sets up shop in the alleyway right behind your store. He props the back door open.
• The Note: You will know he is arriving because a subtle note will spawn on the ground outside the door near the loading bay area during the day.
• Inventory & Prices: He offers 5 random movies at a deep discount. More importantly, he will almost always stock one or two highly profitable, highly sought-after Adult Films. Buying these cheap and renting them out is incredibly lucrative.
