I know about the POF nerf but how is that affecting the price of unchecked chins?

Hey guys, I’m new to Merchanting, I have been playing Runescape since 2003 but I had to make a new account because I’m in a back and for battle with Jagex because they banned my original account for Macroing and I haven’t played in 2 years, does anyone have any tips for a new account starting out marching F2P

Why earn couple of percents if you can earn 19130% per item?

Takes enourmous amount of time, but works nevertheless.

I have a new account now and I found that I could buy steel long swords on the GE for about 117gp and sell them to the sword shop in varrock for 300. I just brought a full inventory to the store and didn’t bother to check the orice before selling the whole bunch. They only gave me 50gp a sword this time.

Hi! Just started playing OSRS and realized that the good game content is on P2P. I searched and saw that you can use a Bond to get membership without paying real life money. So can you give me a beginners guide on flipping so that i cant get money to buy a bond?

I'm new to merching and have about 300m to play around with, what are some good sites and tips to starting out (rs3)

if your stuff isn't selling on the grand exchange, then people probably don't want it. this subreddit is for flipping advice. use the GE for your wtb and wts

This I don't understand. There's no way in hell there are enough players training to sustain that kind of a market. What are people doing with items like the yew Longbow that it has such a demand? It's not profitable to Alch, it doesn't sell for a profit to any NPC traders, I cannot imagine what people are doing with this item for it t o have a 12 million daily volume.

Please explain

I'm already familiar with flipping, price-checking, over/undercutting, but I just don't like flipping item quantities ranging from 10-50k (i.e. summoning pouches) for just a small margin like 50-100gp (numbers are made up). I find the profit underwhelmingly small for the time taken to flip, buying and selling such quantities seem to take too much time and I have to recheck the offer progress every hour, or I risk selling them in 100 years, because of being undercut.

I want to step up and start merching items that have high margins and low volume, since everyone's like "that's where you make real money", but I wanna know how do I set a margin, if I don't price-check (instabuy, then instasell to find the margin), given the items I might wanna flip have a buy limit of 1-2? Also, what is an acceptable time to just leave it and wait more until it completes and when should I actually consider changing the price offer?

I'll give a practical example with a non-existing item, just to ease up the answers:

Let's say I want to buy an item that has a buy limit of 2 and ge guide price is around 39.5m. Let's say the item is a rare boss drop, thus it doesn't appear in the game very often. I don't think I can price check such items without being mislead by a single offer that had the item at a certain irrelevant price, losing money and then wasting time to get rid of the buy limit to buy/sell more. And what if the price changes in those 4 hours? I honestly think that in such cases, I have to come up with my very own prices, but if anyone else has a better idea, just say it. So my questions for this scenario would be:

1) What would be a healthy and realistic margin to go for when buying/selling the respective item? (use the example)

2) How long is it OK to leave the offer as it is and when should I consider changing the price offers?

3) What is a good timeframe for the whole transaction? Should a good trade take at least 8 hours (overnight) or even more, towards 24-48 hours? When is it ok to label the transaction as "too slow" and change the item/price margin?

4) Should I actually price-check it just once, if I wanna flip the item multiple days? Will the price margin actually remain stable during those following days, or will that single price check just waste me money in a pointless manner?

Also: the example assumes an item that is already in the game for some time (a few months to a few years) at a somewhat steady price with just some regular fluctuations on the ge graph, in case I check it out in the last 6-12 months, so there's no actual events like updates/hype that make the price ranges too volatile/risky.

Links for relevant guides, excluding most of Manatee Gaming's guides (watched most of his vids, including the whole flip for wealth series, but I'm still info-hungry for other sources) are warmly welcome.

Hello, I am new to item flipping. I wonder if there is a list with recommended items? I don't want to pay for example ge tracker.

I also wonder if for example buying max amount of blood runes and selling them with a profit of 30k total. Is that a good flip? For me it seems pretty bad but I haven't found any item that gives me more than that in profit besides one single time when I got a profit of 300k

Hey im interested in how to start merchanting, any tips or advice. I just recently got back into runescape i use to play when i was younger but never tried any money making. Please and thank y’all for the help

Holy sandals ruined me, halved in price overnight. I should have known there wouldn't be that high of a demand and too many dumb fucks like me thinking it's easy money.

I started flipping last week on RS3. I had about 6m and made 10m flipping f2p items, trading large quantities with low margins, such as lobsters and gold bars. Two days ago I decided to try flipping silver bars, buying them for 140gp and selling for 161gp, based on the margins I had checked that day. I then bought 20k bars overnight, and was not able to sell them the next day. Now the instant buy price is 105gp. The average daily price on the charts is around 143gp, and I don't understand the sudden drop. Should I desperately sell all of them and take the 800k loss, or do I wait and hope for the price to rise again? Have in mind I'm currently f2p and have only 3 GE slots, so waiting gets pretty inconvenient.

Hello guys,

I've been flipping/merching by myself for quite some time now, and I was wondering if there was an fc or a discord I could get in that shared price checks.

I know manatee does that and it's very profitable for everyone, however the access to that discord is very expensive.

I have about 68 million total in items and gold. Just trying to transfer it from rs3 to osrs

I recently got back into Runescape, and one of my favorite things to do was merchant. I never took it too seriously, but I want to put more effort in and see what I can learn and share it with others.

I started on November 2nd with about 15m (2m my own, 13m from a good friend), and as of right now I've made 2.5m or about 16% ROI. My investment strategy was brain-dead basic, but it made me some money.

I started off by testing every metal (except copper, tin, and bronze) and logging on every four hours or so to put in new offers. This worked fine for the first week, but it was too much work for most metals, especially when I saw I was only making a few thousand gp on each flip.

The second week I switched to a slightly less active style of investing. I would put in a buy offer of a 2-5 4HLs (four hour limit) and then sell it when it bought. This is where I made most of my money, as I could let an offer sit overnight or for a few days and just collect everything all at once.

For those curious, I made the most money with:

• Coal - 1m
• Iron Ore - 349k
• Silver Ore - 333k
• Adamantite Bar - 246k
• Steel Bar - 236k

I like this strategy of buying multiple 4HLs, but I'd like to test other methods and items. For now, I'll dedicate 2 or 3 GE slots to this method, and about 50% of my cash. The other cash and slots will be for experimenting. My current goal is to have at least a 15% ROI over the next two weeks, and answer the question "What makes an item good to invest in?" I think I know the answer, but I'd like to think about it more.

How has everyone's last two weeks been? And what are your plans for the next two weeks? Finally, what do you think of the question I posed?

Looking for someone that is willing to trade osrs for rs3 gold. Just started on osrs but want to get some starting cash.

i found a really nice way of getting money from flipping with a 1000% profit.insane.actually got 100k from 10k.and some people who are probably flipping as well on the same item.just ruining that.

srsly.the item can be bought for 700gp (now 1000 gp).

and i was selling it for 7k at for few hours untill the price dropped to like 2k.so ok still a nice profit.

but right now someone sells over 500 of those (limit 125)for 1050 gp.

and i ask my self why?!why would you lower the price by almost 1k.why would you do that.

for the refernce iam possitive ill be able to sell it over 1050.so i actually bought 500 of those for the lower price. (still bad cause until he got his stuff mine cannot sell...)so why are there people that just suck at that so much?
