    01/25 - How I will announce the item.


    Introduction.

    Starting a new merchant clan for various reasons. Most of the best merchant clans are full, some are unreliable. Therefore i decided to make my own clan. Of course this would require a lot of work, assembling, etc... But it is worth it!

    Why is this worth it?

    If you haven't heard, clans are manipulating items through a method called crashing. These clans earn 50% of the amount of money they invested.

    Example 1.1
    Code:
    The formula for how much you earned is x / y = p
    
    where x (integer) is the amount your investing, y (float/double) is the % amount you have earned and p (integer) is the result.
    
    3,000,000/0.5 =  6,000,000
    But in most cases, clans can actually profit by 300%! Some even earned higher. A great example would be the Dragon Claws!

    Example 1.2
    Code:
    3,000,000 * 3.0 = 9,000,000
    
    It changed to multiplication because dividing it actually makes it lower. Go figures.

    So now you understand the immense amount of profit. But how does this work?

    How manipulating items work.

    The clan first chooses an item to crash. And to do so wisely. The leader would announce the item to official members and those members will buy the item however they want.

    The clan now holds the item (the ENTIRE stock of the item) and waits as the demand for the item goes up therefore the price will to.

    At a point they should sell it (because they can't technically buy the entire stock) at MAXIMUM price. Thus earning ENORMOUS profits, corresponding to how much they actually invested.

    Example 2.1

    (This is an example of a work managed by a merchant clan. If i were to guess, they made over 50%.)

    Requirements.

    Minimum
    Membership for 10+ days (If we were to merchant members-only items).
    3M

    Recommended
    Membership for a month or so.
    10M

    Why do you need at least 10M?! Well first off, the more you invest, the better your profits. And also we do not want to carry too many members.

    Why? Simply because some members are stupid enough to sell the item early without permission. WHICH IS BAD! The price could drop and people will eventually join in and sell the item as well.

    How do i know what the item being invested is?


    (This is an example only! Do not merchant those Zamorak Platebodies!)

    Official members will join my clan chat (I will give them the username to join the chat.) and check the clan's chat name for the item. For example, i used Zamorak Platebody (it got cut offed) so everyone should immediately buy Zamorak Platebodies.

    How do i join?

    second that.

    EDIT: 3,000,000/0.5 =/= 6,000,000
    3,000,000/.5 = 1,500,000

    I've merchanted a lot in the past, and if you want my opinion, 100m isn't enough. You'll probably want around 250m to be safe, and stagger the item buying slightly, as more of it comes on the market.

    Also, make sure the wealth is spread out between a bunch of ppl. You couldn't do this with one person, even if they had 1 bil, since Jagex introduced gay "buy amounts". (ie, you can only buy 100 addy pl8 bodies before someone else "cuts you in line", or only 2 sara helms etc).

    Great idea though, there's always more techniques for merchanting then one thinks =p

    Thanks, i'll keep that in mind.

    And of course there are more ways to get the item. Trading in world 2, or go to common places where the item is located. Or my personal favorite, give your other accounts the money to buy the items.
