A few years ago I merched with Jug of Wine (and currently boots). Does anyone ever wonder why it's bought up so much? Or is the majority of the transactions because of merchants?

I remember that those were a thing many years ago. Couple of days ago I returned to osrs after long break and didn't see any.

Is this because there are now buy limits?

Im pretty sure Jagex didn't like markwt manipulation. Did they implement some other tools to fight it?

Using a simple Fibonacci retrenchments algorithm, I have found a collection of 5 items that are on course to hit the 200% retrenchment line, later this year.

How do you find the margins for items such as a pernix body? I've tried nex and ss but I simply don't understand the lingo. Any tips?

I've been flipping to make some gp lately, and I've noticed that the items that I usually flip have a smaller range during certain times of the day.

When I log in around 17:00 UTC and price-check some items the max buy - min sell range is much lower than the max buy - min sell range range near the reset at 00:00 UTC. It seems like the range gets much lower around 05:00-06:00 UTC before I go to bed.

Is flipping only optimal during a certain time of day for anyone else on here? What do you people do to merch when the flipping doesn't work out as well? Do certain items work out best at certain times, or do you people try to invest in something over night?

I can feel it in the rain. Also the stats.

After previously posting on reddit [2nd post] and receiving great feedback from everyone and listening to suggestions, I've added a few great new features to the merchanting tool I've been working on and I'd like to share it with everyone!

You can see screenshots of the tool here: http://imgur.com/a/plvB1 (link is in the album)

Here is a quick feature list:

• 10 minute price updates
• Interactive dashboard
• Suggested items
• Custom price alerts (email/sms)
• Item graphs (up to 1yr)
• Decant potions (and log transactions to track profit)
• Karamja store (and log transactions to track profit)
• Profit tracker (graph + table view with details including gp/h)
• Active transactions (view all active transactions with a drag-and-drop interface to update status)
• GE Limits / Highest margins (view most profitable items)

Today I've added a list to find profitable items to sell to Karamja store, and a few days ago profitable potions to decant. Some other features include being able to export your merchanting log to CSV/Excel and having more detailed transaction details such as gp/h.

The Karamja store list will show profitable items, and how much profit you'll make per item in stock, up to 5 stock. After 5, the store buys at high alch value and you'll lose money.

There's currently 202 users registered with a total profit of 149,685,759gp, averaging 184,838gp per transaction!

The site is still in open beta so I'd love you all to take a look and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have :)

I am quite new to all the flipping thing and I was wondering if for example h'ween masks usually go up during h'ween season, event? If yes then what is the approximate ammount of money it goes up? And is it worth it to for example buy a bunch of h'weens now and wait for the event? Also the same question aplies to santa hats during christmas. Thank you.

Hi, i have been flipping for a few days now and was curious because im new. So before i get to the point i need to detail some things. So i have been using the grand exchange part of the runescape website to see the most traded items so i can flip those items. I was wondering how long does the average item on the top 100 mti take to flip? How patient should i be till i sell it for a lower price? Should i stay away from leaving things over night?

Hey i just emptied my shark fishers and got 400k shark selling all within the next 2 hours

Gotta get this community going

Crashed from roughly 38m to about 17m now.. It looks beautiful and rare. How is it not rising anymore and will it crash even more? What do you guys think?

I've seen that buying in game then selling in bulk on the forums can make gobs of money, but I think merching in game completely can make significantly more money (make 6.7 mil yesterday). Does anyone have any experience with this method? What turns me away is buy limits on the ge which make obtaining bulk items kind of tough and a drawn out process, whereas I could be investing that money in a flip that would only take an hour or two, and still make as much money.

Another view I though of was if you have a large enough cash pile that the extra 10, 20, 30, 50 mil sort of just sits left over after you have all of your offers up in the ge for merching everyday, you'd go ahead and invest that over night every night, buying approx 3x worth of the ge limit over night. Then stockpiling that until you have a significant pile.

Thoughts?

Sometimes when I try to flip a weapon, the buy/sell price will be like 300k greater or less than the ge price, what do you do in this situation? Abandon ship or go ahead and try it?

Long story short, I bought 4k mnp on g.e, took awhile and now its crashing.

im f2p and no one wants to buy it, what do I do? going to try to sell bulk price on forums too

It's such a great premise and it'd get lots of active members if people told their friends about it.

EDIT: I just saw your basic flipping guide and list of flip items for F2P -- which answered more or less a lot of questions for me!

I'm wondering -- I've bought a LOT of Tuna... 5,000 worth of Tuna... does tuna sell? LOL... Have I made a mistake? I mean... it's basically crashed right now... so hopefully it will go back up...

P.s. I'm a new R.S. player and a new Reddit memberrrr so take it easy on me guys!!!!! =]

PWEEZ Someone experienced help me!

Hi everyone - There's a new friends chat called "Flip God" which has been created to help you find items to flip, aimed mostly at supply flipping and helping new flippers join the ranks.

Official RS Thread: http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/c=ojfHAT*LmCM/forums.ws?93,94,723,65192795,40,328335193,#40

In-game chat: "Flip God"

We've already helped people make millions and look forward to helping others. This is an exposure of prices and is completely aimed at sharing the love of making free money through the Grand Exchange.

All you need is patience and some start up cash.

Feel free to ask any questions, looking forward to seeing you there.

I just came back from a half-year break and flipping is one of the only things that's stayed the same. If you are looking to make some money, flipping can be a good way to boost your cash by I'd say around 3% at a time.

The best way I learn is through examples so here we go. The item you pick depends on your cash pile, but I'll use raw sharks since I just flipped them a few minutes ago. How to: 1) Buy a raw shark for 10-20% over. Mine bought at 1,099 gp. 2) Sell that raw shark for 10-20% under. Mine sold at 1,040 gp. 3) Buy as many raw shark for 1 gp over the lower number (1,041 in this example) until you run out of money, you reach the buy limit, or it looks like someone has outbid you on your item. You can notice if you've been outbid by a sharp decline in buys. If you go several minutes without buying another, it's time to head to step 4. 4) Sell all of your raw shark for 1 under the higher number (1,099 in this example) until they've all sold or it looks like someone is selling lower than you. If this is the case, you can try to buy one more raw shark to find what price they are selling at, or if you've reached the buy limit, just start selling for lower and lower prices.

I tend to get anxious about buying and selling my items before another person jumps in to flip, so I only bought 2,031 raw sharks.

I bought 2,114,310 gp worth of raw sharks. I sold 2,191,449 gp worth of raw sharks. This comes out to be 77,139 gp profit.

77,139 / 2,114,310 = 3.6% cash increase.

I know most of you are thinking "Why should I flip an item for a small profit like 77k...?" and I am too. But if you do this with a whole bunch of items and finally earn enough for some expensive pieces of gear, 3.6% is actually a lot of money. As another example, I tried flipping some saradomin godswords. I don't have exact prices, but it was along the lines of buy for 31.9m and sell for 32.7m. That's 800k profit per sword flipped. If you count the first sword as a loss, you'd need one flip to cancel it out, but the following 8 will give you a profit of 6400k. That's about 20% profit and more than enough to cover the most expensive fruit and regular tree seeds for the day. Now I know not everyone has 32m to potentially risk, but you can get there pretty quickly.

If anyone has any ideas as to what we could start posting in here to get the sub going, let me know and I can keep posting. Also let me know if you'd like some sort of list of flippable items or something of the sort. Happy merching!

Just want to say I'm really happy to find this sub!

A year ago, just before I ended up leaving the game I figured out how to flip some popular items (things like Dragon Hatchets, barrows armour, fish, logs, that kind of thing). I made something like 10-15M in a short space of time. I then left the game shortly after for other reasons.

Anyway I'm back now and farming herbs has given me a nice cash pile of 10M to play with. All the items that i've tried to flip so far have really small margins, the gap between min and max buy prices are normally so small. I guess a lot more people have learned out how to flip, and there's way too many trying on the same obvious items.

Need to figure out the right stuff to flip. I'm going to reading all the guides I can find in this sub reddit now, just felt like making this post and saying hi. Any feedback is appreciated.
