Introduction: Runescape Merching/Flipping Guide.

About: Some of the most important things to me: runescape, using computers, football, and xbox 360. I joined instructables to shed some light on some things I like to do and teach some people how to do it.

Hello Instructables,

This is Excellion from Runescape. I'm here today to tell you how I made my current 50m. (Edit: It's 80M now!)

About 5 years ago when the free trade and wilderness were vanquished from the game, many people thought merching was impossible.

Many people found out that it wasn't, and it was more like real world stocks.

Also, if you understand real world stocks, this guide will be very simple for you.

This is updated for the new free trade.

Step 1: Finding the Item

Step one:

Finding your preferred item

Item Guide:


0.2m-1m: Lobsters, Coal Ore, Swordfish,  Iron Bars

2m-5m:Rune platelegs, Rune Scimitars, Rune Platebody's, Death Runes

10m+: Bandos Boots (My prefered), Dragon Boots, Berserker Helms, Dragon chainbody.

If you do not want to do any of these items, just check the Grand Exchange Guide page on www.Runescape.com and look for commonly purchased items. Make sure your item's price isn't dying.

(Thanks Kelsey >.>)


Step 2: Finding the Buy/Sell

(Review Both Pictures.)  (And....Lobsters are so great on merching atm)
Most Important Part-

Finding the buy/sell price is somehow confusing so I will break it down to my best ability.

When you do this, you find the Sell price first.
(Open notepad to keep record)

Sell Price: Buy the item for max and copy down the price you bought it for. This will be the price you sell it at.
Buy Price: Sell the item you bought for as low as you can and copy down the price you sold it for.

Example: Bought Bandos Boots for 336504 gp today. Sold them for 330k. Then, I bought 10 Bandos Boots for 330k and sold them for 336504gp.

Step 3: Final Step

The final step is patience.

The items will not Buy/Sell right away. Go watch a movie or do something productive while other Runescape players give you money for your products.

NEVER leave your item on over night. Prices always change and sometimes its negative. Merch always has some risk.

Sometimes merch takes aroudn 15 minutes to an hour. If it takes over an hour, restart your merch and  recheck the buy/sell price.
