What should i merch on runescape

So here, as soon as the announcement came out, you would go straight to the GE and buy as much rune and pure essence as possible. Note that in this case the supply of runes would thus increase as more are being crafted, while the demand stays the same, so the price of runes would fall.

Image showing the price of Bright Energy directly after the release of Memorial to Guthix. The image above to the right shows how the Grand Exchange app can be useful in tracking an item's price.

That example however was an example of how it looks after a price change, we want to be able to view an items graph and predict how it is going to react. Here are a few examples showing how we can predict a graph:. The GE Market Watch app lets us view the risers, fallers and most traded items each day. The 1 month graph shows the potato cactus is about to begin increasing in price. The 3 month graph reinforces this idea since it is the lowest price it has been in 3 months. Going onto the Market Watch app, we will try to find graphs in which the item is falling in price, but the rate is slowing, for example, the graph to the side shows the graph of potato cactus, it has just finished falling in price and has risen over the last day.

I spotted this graph the day before and realised it was slowing up and beginning to turn. Then I bought 8, of them shown in image above for its instant buy price - since I knew it was going to rise anyway. When you spot a good looking graph, check the 3 month and 6 month graphs aswell; if the item is falling and slowing, but is still above its 6 month average, it may continue falling. However, if an item is about to begin increasing in price and is at its lowest price in 6 months, chances are it is going to rise - a lot.

It is important to keep monitoring the graph of your item while you are holding onto it. For example, in the 3 month graph to the right, the area circled in red is dangerous - it looks as if the potato cactus is about to start increasing in price a lot, however after 4 days it begins falling again. If we stay mindful of the graphs we can still sell at the top of the arc for a profit - albeit a smaller than expected one - but a profit nonetheless. The next question is naturally : "How do I find an item like that?

One way, which is my preferred method, is to look at specific items. There are a lot of items which make good choices, but first we note a few things:. Another valuable tool is GrandExchangeCentral. This is a website google it which provides lists of items and gives a list of items which are undergoing "trend reversal to up" i.

The example below shows the website as well as an example of one of its recommended "trend reversal to up" items. The graph of spirit shards show its price never deviates for gp. So a player can check these items every now and then and see if any patterns are emerging.

This is the GrandExchangeCentral website and the graph of one of its recommended items to invest in. Circled in green shows where we should buy an item, and in red where we should sell it. Finally, we should consider when to sell. If we watch the graph of our item, we will be able to see when it is beginning to slow down and even fall slightly.

We sell our item when it begins to slow slightly and even out at the top of its arc. The example to the right shows an example of times where we could buy and sell an item.

Now we consider our second method of trading - high volume flipping. This is probably the most common method of flipping and can be thought of as a very short term investment.

First we consider what items we should be flipping. A classic example of this is the release of teak and mahogany logs before the release of the skill Construction , which made significant use of both.

When construction was released, investors already held a decent supply of Teak and Mahogany Logs to meet the demand of players training the new Construction skill.

You should buy items at their lowest point usually several days after a Double XP Weekend has ended and sell them at their highest price during the next Double XP Weekend. An example of flipping. The item right is bought for less than it is sold left.

Flipping involves buying an item for as little as possible and then selling for as much as possible within a few hours. Flipping is unique in that it can be used to profit from any item, regardless of its price trend. Flipping is only recommended for players with plenty of starting cash 10M at least to do, as not possessing such will result in low profits. The amount it buys for is the high price the highest price the item can be sold for.

Now sell that one item at well below the market price. The amount it sells for is the low price the lowest price the item can be bought for. If the item cannot be bought or sold at a significant margin, it is unsuitable for flipping. If you buy an item and find that a major crash has started and you cannot sell at a high price, you can either hang on to it until the price rises again, or dump it at a low price.

If you choose your items carefully, this shouldn't happen very often. A wise rule is to always do a test buy of a small quantity, and then resell to see how quickly the item moves. Never start out buying a huge quantity of an untested item. You also want to find items that are in your price range. If you have only , coins to invest on an item, you probably don't want to pick an item that is 50, coins as you would only be able to buy 2 of them.

Instead pick items that are about coins, that way you could buy up to of them. Quantity is usually more important than price. The key is profit per hour. If you can move more items quicker, you might make more money even though it's a smaller profit on each individual item. Ever wonder why stores have big sales? This is why. Another important concept is diversification.

Do not put all your money on one item. If it drops in price, you are in trouble. Try to pick four to six good items you may have to experiment to find four good ones and just keep buying low, and selling high. Remember there are always impatient players who get rare items as a drop, such as corrupt dragon items, and they need cash fast, so they will sell for a low price.

Then later will come the impatient buyer, who has to have that item right away and is willing to pay a lot of money. Patience is one of the keys to making money in trading.

They are constantly bought and sold making them perfect for a quick daily profit. If you were to buy the limit of 8 uncharged toxic tridents today, you would profit K on that item alone.

High-ticket items are of course the super expensive flips. Think about dragon hunter lance, crossbow, rapier and more. Currently, the dragon hunter crossbow has an approx profit of K each. This means a buy-limit flip for which you would need M would make you 1.
