Merchanting
Written By Millerandrew
Special Thanks to Sir Hasif, tate225, Mole, Billab0ng1, Ambo100, Lilshu Merchanting is where you buy something for a small price and then sell it for a high price. You always want to buy an object at a F2P (Free to play) world and sell it at a member's (P2P) world or to someone who is buying for a good amount. Usually you can get a good deal when buying items on a freeplay world. Below I will explain some ways to market. The merchant item is what you should buy and sell, the difficulty is how hard it is out of 5 stars, and the location is where you can find the most sellers/buyers. Warning: Some of the prices (especially for rare items) may be out-of date and inaccurate. Please check the prices in the Item Database which should be maintained better.
Difficulty: 2  Buying Price: 5 gp each. What to do: Head to the chicken pen near Lumbridge in a F2P world with about 50k gold. Say "Buying all feathers 5 gp each." Many players that have been stockpiling feathers will come to you and trade. Buy all their feathers at 5 gp each. Once you run out of money you should have around 10k feathers. Congratulations you just did the hardest part of merchanting. Now try to sell them for 14 gp each. Once you sell them all you'll have 140k. As you can see merchanting is all about an efficient rate of money making. After about 1 hour of doing this I bet you could have 500k in your wallet. When you're selling your feathers you ALWAYS want to keep your price firm. If you don't keep your price firm you'll be considered a weak seller by many. Its alright to have a lot of feathers sitting in your bank for a while. Difficulty: 2  Buying Price: 10 gp each What to do: Go to Draynor Bank or Varrock west bank on a populated world and bring 500,000gp. Buy all the essence you can with this money. Once you run out of money you'll have around 50k rune essence. Now go to the official RuneScape forum or a populated world and sell them for 20 gp each. Difficulty: 2  Buying Price: 20-25 gp each. What to do: Go to a populated world and head to Draynor Bank (as shown in the picture) with about 150k gold. Say "Buying all willows 25 gp each." Many players who have been cutting willow logs will come trade with you. Once you run out of money you should have around 5-6k willow logs. Now either sell them on the official forums for 40 gp each or at Draynor bank for 35-40 gp each. Once you sell them all you'll have 175k - 240k Difficulty: 4  Buying Price: 100 gp each. What to do: Head to Al Kharid bank (in a populated F2P world) with 150k +. Now say, "buying cow hides 100 gp each", many people will trade with you. After a while you'll have 1500 cow hides. Now sell them at a P2P world or to a member buying for at least 160 per cow hide. You'll make around 75k from doing this. Difficulty: 2  Buying Price: 10 gp each. What to do: This is actually a very good market item. Many new rangers will have a ton of arrows that they pick up or buy. Go to Varrock west bank or any bank that is populated in a populated (F2P) world and type "Buying bronze arrows 10 gp each!!!". Once you get about 20,000 of them (yes, this sounds like a lot but it's only 200,000gp to buy if you buy them for 10 gp each) then sell them to members for 20-25 gp each. Difficulty: 4 What to do: Merchanting Santa Hats should only be done if you have 7 million + GP, in other words if you're poor you can't do this. First off, go to either the member's forum or Varrock west bank. Try to buy a Santa Hat for 18-20 Million GP, after you have one try to sell it from 19-21 Million GP on the forums, or at Varrock west bank. This is a GREAT merchant item because with just merchanting 1 item you can make millions of GP. However you may find that few people have a Santa Hat because they're very expensive and nearly extinct (That's why they are so expensive in the first place). Difficulty: 5 What to do: First of all, this is only for the very very rich people. However, if you do have this money then consider yourself very lucky because now you can start making 20 million GP in less then an hour. Which is by far the quickest money you can make. First, buy one from the forums or Varrock west bank for 70-80 Million GP. Now try to sell it in any of the locations you bought the party hat at. If you bought for 70 million, and sold it for 100 million, you just made your easiest 30 million GP. Difficulty: 5 What to do: Ok, first of all if you've gotten here then you can mark yourself as one of the richest players in Runescape, therefore allowing you to merchant the very best item in the game. The blue Party Hat (Blue Phat). It's so rare its said there's less then 50 in the whole game. Buy a blue party hat at any of the locations mentioned earlier for around 170-190 million GP. This may take a while as not many people are willing to sell, due to the fact that blue party hats are so rare. However, once you have obtained a blue party hat sell it for around 190-220 million GP. After this you may want to buy one to keep as they are so rare!!! I must say, if you've done this then you're a RuneScape Pro. 1. Many merchanters find themselves switching worlds around every 5-10 minutes.
This way you might find a buyer quicker than staying in the 1 world. Sometimes you will see people attempting to sell items that seem to be rare, but are really just useless (or very easy to obtain). These items should never be bought for more than a few gp, because otherwise you're being scammed:
