I used 1m as in 1,000,000gp not 1 million of the item. It was a mistake on my behalf.
I thought you said "Buy 1M worth of the item at..."
Yeah, I understand, it's cool lol.

Guys, it does not matter who is right and who is wrong, since I did fire runes like that back in the day it is impossible to buy and sell that much quantity a week, let alone a few hours to make it worth your while so it is a moot point. If you wish to argue then take it to PM to figure out whose wording made it seem theyre wrong. It can be read both ways, 1M of wealth used OR 1M units...still, it hardly matters...it doesnt work anymore anyway.
The best thing to do though is simply plug away at it, you will not become super-rich overnight, but if you spend 20 minutes setting up your buys and sells and figuring out what to do tomorrow then go off and skill and pile your wealth back in rather than wasting it on junk that is of no use to you...you will find after a while all those 3-5%s added together have started to pay off...take green chaps or rune axes or anything after a while, once you have bought 1000 and sold 1000 you will have profit to buy 1040 and sell 1040, then buy 1095 and sell 1095, this is without considering that you will have the profit of 300 yews or more to add to the mix...of course I havent worked it out exactly but it is an example.
Again, first, I never mentioned what the item would be, I was just using it as an example.
Second, this method works VERY well, if you split your merchanting over a couple of items that are really commonly used, instead of relying on one.
In fact, ANY merchanting is WAY better if you use more than one item. Mixing between common low price items, and common high price items wold probably be the best way to go.
