    Default Need for an in-debth RS trading guide?

    Hi there! I don't really know anything about scripting and I doubt I will ever find the motivation to learn, but I don't want to just be a proggy-posting leecher so I was thinking of other ways to contribute to the community.

    I currently study funding and national economics in university and I was raised up in an environment where economics was a common subject for dinner talk (I'm a fourth generation banker in the making) so I thought I'd make a guide about something I know fairly well. Although RS trading has more or less nothing to do with the real thing, I'm pretty fascinated by RS economy and have gotten experienced with it (Trading in RS is actually the only reason I play the game).

    I thought I'd make a poll about whether people think they would be interested in such a guide and what things they would like to see in it. If you're not interested please vote "no thanks" since I don't want to waste my time, no hard feelings. At the moment I have a project with agility 99, so I would start writing this guide after I have achieved that goal. Could be a month or two, this is just to find out if I should waste any thought for it.

    What the guide would include: (I'm willing to add something else as well if requested)

    • Explaining How RS Economy Works

    • Explaining How GE Works

    • Basics of Flipping:

    - How to find margins
    - What kind of items to look for
    - Pictures
    • Flipping:

    - Flipping with 10M - 4B+
    - Item lists
    - Inactive/overnight flipping
    - GE/player trading
    - "Noob rare" flipping (santas, h'weens, easters etc)
    - Party Hat flipping
    - Pictures + possible video
    • Short-term Investing: (2 days - 3 weeks)

    - Basic tips
    - Reading graphs
    - What volatility is and how to use it
    - Diversification
    - Spotting "bottoming out" and patterns
    - Investing in rising items
    - Investing in crashing items
    - Methods for working with the 4h limit
    - How to stay in touch with live prices
    - Short-term Investing in all rares
    - Pictures
    • Long-term Investing: (3 weeks - forever)

    - What steady growth is
    - Investing in oversold items (items that have suffered a massive crash
    - Item lists
    - Why you should long-term invest instead of drooling on your cashpile sitting in your bank
    - Fighting inflation
    - Pictures
    • Miscellaneous:

    - FAQ
    - Working in W2
    - Basics of Mass Psychology
    - Using RS forums to your advantage
    - It doesn't make you an ass if you take advantage of people who have no idea of current prices

    So yeah, that's about it... But seriously, if you don't think the community needs another GE trading guide (I know there are like a million out there), let me know so I don't waste days writing it. Although I am pretty excited about it to be honest. :P

    Lol, I wasn't even considering asking something for it. Do people actually pay for guides?

    Anyways, of course it will be free, would be pretty wrong of me to use scripts here for free and then ask something for the guide wouldn't it?

    I just got finished with 99 agility (yeey ) so I'll start writing the guide in the very near future (few days, maybe a week). I'll write whenever I have free time from university and other things I've got going on atm, so don't think I can finish it in just a few days after I start. But anyways, it's on it's way!

    As english is not my first language, I have a question:

    If I want to sell something, do I put an offer IN the GE or do I put an offer ON the GE?

    I want my grammar to be a good as possible so I just had to ask.

    I love this idea. I suck at merching.
    Never ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly".
