I. Intro You always see people with max gear but their hiscore page shows 7 Vorkath kills & 1 Zulrah kill for the diary and wonder how they made their money. Most of them probably did purchase gold online but most of these guys will always say merching. Everyone knows merching can make you a ton of money with little to no grind but a lot of people still don't try it. Many people have the misconception that you need to know a ton about the game and updates, market trends, flavor of the month items due to streamers, etc but in reality you can merch with literally no knowledge about the item you are even buying. While it's true game updates on items result in huge price fluctuations and if you cash in early enough you can make a pretty penny but I'm going to be focusing on simple first time ways to begin flipping. I'll break it down as simple as I can but I'm no guru so if anyone would like to add or make changes feel free to pitch in! This is an intro to flipping, many people already know how to do this but my goal is to help someone who is seeing this for the first time. https://xkcd.com/1053/ II. Requirements I recommend starting with at least 1m, you don't need a huge cash stack there are a ton of items you can get away with with 1m RuneLite/OpenOSRS/etc Plugin: Flipping Utilities (Plugin hub on RL) - Not needed but does make life easier III. Finding Items to Flip This is the part people usually struggle with the most and don't know how to start. What we'll be doing is taking advantage of impatient people, when you want to purchase an item instantly you'll hit that +5% a couple times to make sure you get that instant buy. We'll be cashing in on the age old saying "buy low sell high" because the goal will be to patiently buy items at or under market value and sell near the instant buy price. What we're going to be looking for is items that have high trade volume so potions, darts, runes, etc - these items you can purchase 2000-10000 in 4 hours without hitting the limit. Things you can buy a ton of at once. Armor sets, weapons, gear, etc usually has a buy limit of 8-70 or around those low numbers. Here is a handy list from the OSRS wiki that has all item limits (sort by highest to lowest). The first time I started this I literally went through my bank and looked for items I'm constantly restocking like prayer potions, darts, scales, brews, teleports, etc. In the next step I'll show you how to choose an item now that we know what kind of item we're looking for. IV. First Purchase & Testing Choose any commonly traded item that you use often, it doesn't matter what as we're just going to be testing the profit margin. Go to the GE and purchase the item at 10-15% ABOVE the average price to instantly buy it. Note down the price that the purchase was completed at. I'm going to use amethyst darts as an example. I put the offer in for 389 and bought it instantly for 353 Write down that price or if you have the Flipping Utilities plugin it will automatically record it for you. Next we're going to sell our 1 item back at 10-15% UNDER the default average price. Now you can see it sold right away for 322 even though I put it in way lower. You want to record this number as well. So what we have is an instant buy price of 353 and an instant sell price of 322. The difference between these two numbers is going to be our profit margin - 31gp. If you're using the Flipping Utilities plugin it makes this incredibly easy and shows you the profit margin, ROI, and potential profit if you bought as many as you could. I got lucky on my first try because I've done this item before. I will literally go through and do this with 10-20 common items in my bank until I see one that shows a potential profit worth my time - usually about 200k or so minimum. Choosing a profit margin is completely your choice so if your plugin says you're only going to make a 75k profit from a flip total and that's worth it for you, go for it. These small trades really add up, especially when you buy high volume. That's why you are shooting for something you can purchase thousands of. 31gp profit on these darts is not a lot until you buy 10k darts and end up making 300k+. Once you've selected an item that looks like it has decent profit margin (trust me it's just trial and error for 10 minutes while you buy and sell random items, don't stress about trying to pick items you think merchers flip just trust the numbers) it's time to begin. V. Flipping:) Okay now it's time for the fun part, flipping! Get your cash stack and open up the item on the GE, what we'll be doing is setting the buy price to 1gp ABOVE the instant sell price. So the darts I sold instant sold for 322gp. That means I'll be setting the buy price to 323gp. We want to buy as low as possible but also beat anyone else selling them so instead of matching the lowest price we'll do 1gp better. This will mean quicker buys. (I can't attach any more pictures so Imgur links from now on). Buy as many as you can afford and now we wait. These are not going to buy right away, it'll take some time to buy all of them. You may have to wait 1-2 hours or even overnight. I recommend not leaving buy offers overnight as prices can change a lot. Feel free to leave sell offers overnight. VI. Profit Once all your items have finished purchasing it's time to profit! Put your item up for sale on the GE and we're going to be setting our SELL price to 1gp UNDER the instant buy price. This is what we recorded those numbers for earlier or used the plugin. Since mine bought for 353gp instantly I'll be selling for 352gp. This is so we undercut anyone else selling and sell more quickly. Now it's time to sit back and relax and watch your items slowly sell and the profit roll in. These won't instant sell so be patient and don't freak out if they don't sell for a few minutes. It usually takes 1-2 hours on average but I've left items overnight occasionally that didn't sell fast enough. VII. Final Notes Remember this is something you can do passively. 300k may not seem like a ton of money but it's 300k more than what you would have made while doing agility or slayer or anything. This is something you setup and forget while your items are buying/selling. Eventually you'll find a few select items that net you profit consistently. You won't need to test as many items to find profitable ones and you can go straight to your go-tos. Finding items is seriously just typing in a couple letters and clicking a random item and testing it. When you're starting off don't stress too much about picking the perfect item. As long as there is a small margin and high volume you'll make decent money. Big flips take time and risk so this is a great place to start. If your items don't end up selling in a day you may need to lower your price a bit and try again. You won't really run into this unless there are large fluctuations or just an unlucky flip where you may have to sell at cost. Thank you for reading, I hope this helps someone confidently make their first flip:) Let me know if you have any suggestions, fixes, or comments!

LMAOO ihy

My job is all face to face sales to clients so there's no manual labor or skilled trade involved. If anyone has any ideas feel free to pitch in LMAO Maybe hunter in a theoretical concept. Each client has a different reason of buying so it's my job to figure out the most efficient way to capture a lead.

That's terrible man I'm sorry to hear that. We always see statistics in the news but knowing someone close to you pass away from COVID is surreal. I hope you and your family stay healthy, stay safe.

I have been attempting to learn in LMS but man it's so much harder than Framed & Torvesta make it look on YouTube haha. I will definitely come out to practice. How often do you guys go? Thank you my man, been working on getting base 70s (just fishing and RC left) and then base 75s by the end of the year minimum if I don't meet my total level goal. The only way I like to train skills is working towards a goal for content like 70 hunter for SOTE etc.

Thank you guys, very warm welcome. Excited to see how OSRS is as a group activity. Is the 48 hour wait a strict requirement or can I sneak in a day early? Here is the thread with the reply that pointed me towards researching this clan

Please join our Discord server and read the #joining_wg channel to see the final step in the process. X1 X2 What is your current RS name? X1 X2 List any previous RS names: N/A What is your total level and combat level? Total: 1817 (Goal 1900 by end of year) Combat: 119.825 (Goal 126 by end of year) Tell us about your RuneScape account and history. Just like most people I started playing when I was in 3rd grade or so and was obsessed from the beginning. I always played on and off for years with no real goals or high levels (anything above 70 was high for me). Eventually in 2019 I came back into the game and finally got to some end game content and decent stats. Now I am a big fan of CoX and bossing but I never stick to any one thing too long. I usually switch between working on diaries, quests (when they release now that I have QC), CoX, or casual training. Most of my grinding only comes from needing to meet a requirement or for a QoL improvement. Tell us about your clan history. No clan history, joined some friend clans last year with a few people that raided regularly but I've been playing solo 99% of the time. Tell us about your yourself. My name is Haris and I graduated a couple years ago from college with a degree in Psychology & Business. Currently a sales manager so work is either running around like crazy or down time - no in between. Most of my time is spent on whatever hobby I'm obsessed with currently whether it be working on my car (bought my dream car, a Corvette, last year), home theater system work, movies, or grinding out a few more sales at work if I have an unnecessary purchase that has my eye. How did you hear about us? Random Reddit comment What makes you want to join us? I'd like to join a clan that has events and a community. I enjoy playing solo but I've gotten to the point where I'm starting to get bored of the same few things I've been doing in the game. There are a ton of PvM activities I see from YouTube videos and Reddit posts that are team focused and I've always enjoyed being a part of a team. Do you agree to the rules and requirements of WG and understand that this is an honour clan? Yes Come clean about anything that may deter us from accepting you: Ever since I graduated I don't have the same back to back hours I can put towards the game. My work has a lot of flexibility so while I can play at work and after work I can't put in more than 2-3 hours a day regularly unless it's a day off. I have bought gold a few times in the last couple years because I enjoy doing the activities I like to do in the game versus grinding in the time that I have to play every week. Just being 100% honest, it's something that came with not having as much time after college.
