Drug Dealers

Drug Dealers are criminals which a gang employ to handle, distribute and buy narcotics. They are featured in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars where the games protagonist, Huang Lee, is able to peddle drugs around Liberty City.

Gangs

Dealers working in different gang territories will sell or buy drugs for a much lower or higher price. Each gang buys and sells different drugs, as shown on the in-game Turf Map and game map that came with Chinatown Wars:

The African-Americans sell Downers and buy Acid
The Russian Mafia sell Ecstasy and buy Coke
The Angels of Death sell Coke and buy Ecstasy
The Irish-American Killers sell Acid and by Ecstasy
The Mob sell Ecstasy and buy Coke
The Midtown Gangsters sell Heroin and buy Acid
The Spanish Lords sell Coke and buy Ecstasy
The Jamaicans sell Weed and buy Downers
The Triads sell Downers and buy Heroin

By dealing between the separate gangs (example: buying Coke from The Angels of Death and selling it to The Russian Mafia), Huang can insure maximum profit.

Each dealer affiliated with a gang has it's own skin

A dealer that isn't affiliated with a gang, often when Huang gets emails from them they sell to other College Punks. These guys make up the majority of the dealers.

Tip-Offs

Dealers will send Huang e-mails telling them about trade tips they are offering. This can either be someone selling drugs for a low price or buying them for a higher than normal price. Huang will receive e-mails randomly during the course of the game, both in and out of missions (though he is unable to trade drugs during a mission). Tip-offs will expire two days after the original e-mail is sent, causing the dealer in question to revert back to his normal prices.
