    Default [Pictures] Flipping Guide!

    I am going to make this as easy as it gets!
    With 5 easy steps

    1) Buy item 15% OVER guide price (1 item)

    2) Sell item 15% UNDER guide price (1 item)

    3) Subtract the difference

    4) Buy items 1gp over minimum price

    5) Sell items 1gp under maximum price


    34k profit per helmet x 10 (limit) = 340k per trade (8 trades/h = 2720k/h)

    Please note this item is hard to get a hold of so don't expect 2.7m off the bat expect something more like 500k with your first item.

    I REALLY suggest against using something like this where you have the potential to lose money only try higher priced items as shown when you have a solid grasp of loss.


    Note: Aim for 100gp+ Profit/item
    Note: Buy/Sell limit does not exist as long as you get rid of your purchases through sales in the GE.
    Note: Prices with a price margin of more than 5k normally don't last more than a few hours so try to find them while they are hot! (Barrows tends to have massive gaps quite often)
    Note:With lower priced items you are able to get MANY more trades in per hour so the profit is sometimes just as good!

    The concept has always been easy to understand, I've just never been able to find the items to do it with. Meh, guess it's not for me.

    Swordfish/lobster is decent on F2P for +1 flipping. But it's slow and risky.

    Try items that are not used EVERYDAY or even if they are they are items you would buy in proportion example Anti-Fire potions

    When you first try to merch I would recommend "Stable" items, something you KNOW people will need no matter what.

    Example: Maple Logs (Very versatile log (Fletch/Firemaking)), Strength potions (HIGHLY used in F2P), Dragon Dagger, super sets, rune armor, neiz helmets, Barrows armor (etc)...

    When you become better at understanding the basics move onto un-stable items, things that people use but not too often.

    Example: Godswords, Trimmed Dragon attachments, Rares, Steadfast boots, regens, third age, bandos armor, nex gear, (etc)

    Stuff that is in the higher price ranges are normally not stable.

    Buy stable in Bulk
    Buy unstable at discretion

    What's the minimum amount of gp you would recommend to start with for f2p only?

    The items would have to be less than 100 gp each though right?

    Not at all, they could be 20k if you wanted

    Then you buy 50 of them (*Difference) = Profit

    I remember back in the days before GE i would go to draynor in the law running world (66?) and just buy law runes for as little as i could. Then i would hop to a f2p world and sell the runes in varrock for like 200 gp more than i bought them for.

    Was pulling in 2m/day easily which i think was worth considerably more then than it is now.

    Step 4/5 is in bulk, step 1/2 are (1 item or really low quantity)
    So when you do 4/5 you make profit

    You buy at a low price, and sell for higher.

    Example:

    Logs: (Note these are not actual prices)
    Buy 25,000 Logs for 70gp each = 1,750,000
    Sell those 25,000 Logs for 75gp each = 1,875,000

    Profit = 125,000gp

    Please avoid asking a list of good items can be found here:
    This is for low money stacks: http://services.runescape.com/m=item...list=0&scale=0

    (Prices change all the time a good item today can be a horrible item tomorrow)
