In order to determine the market value of an item, we first put in a buy offer for one quantity of it at considerably above the guide price. The price at which an item is trading for in the Grand Exchange may differ slightly or even greatly from the guide price. The buy/sell test is an important tool used to determine the market value of an item in the Grand Exchange. The market value is the price that an item can be bought or sold for in the Grand Exchange, whereas the street value is the price that an item can be bought or sold for in person, often through the forums. There are two values that must be considered in every trade: the Market Value and the street value. One of the most important factors in successfully profiting from trade is being able to properly determine the price of an item. In reality, the guide price is the average price of trades between the last two Grand Exchange updates for that item (provided that it is not more than 5% different from yesterday's guide price) and may no longer be relevant.

A full list of the maximum purchases can be seen here.Ī common misconception about the Grand Exchange is attaching special meaning to the guide price. This limit was implemented by Jagex to prevent price manipulation. Most items have a maximum quantity that can be bought every four hours. Thus, all trades occurring in the Grand Exchange occur instantly for one person and not instantly for the other.įree players can only have a maximum of three offers in the Grand Exchange at any time, while paying members can have a maximum of eight offers. If an offer is not instantly completed, it will remain until a matching offer is entered or it is cancelled. If an offer is placed in the Grand Exchange, the game will search for all offers meeting your price or better, and instantly completes those trades, using the price of the already existing offer. Understanding the Grand Exchange is important to trading. Players can take advantage by placing a quantity of offers over a period of time then selling it off forums for a higher price. For example, Battlestaves have a buy limit of 1000 but many players who use them would want more than that. There are some items that have a buy limit that is below the demand level of a player. 'Street/forum merchanting': This method involves buying a bulk of an item then selling it on the street or forums for a higher price.When bulk flipping, 20 million or more is almost surely needed to make money faster than possible at common high level training areas. Large amounts of available cash are often required to perform bulk quantity flipping, but can result in a higher profit than other merchanting methods. The profit on each item is very small, often only a couple of gold each, but the massive quantity results in large profits. 'Bulk quantity flipping': This involves buying large quantities of an item with a stable price range of a few coins, then selling that item for a slightly higher price.Flipping is more profitable when the item can be bought and sold within a large price range, and safer when the item has a high trade volume.

The buy-sell spread is created by the diversity of buyers and sellers with varying degrees of patience. The main difference from investing, which relies on price changes over time, is that flipping exploits the spread between pending buy orders and pending sell orders as the source of profit. 'Flipping': This involves buying items and then selling them at a slightly higher price in the short term, often immediately after buying or even while buying.Investing is more profitable when the item has large changes in price, and safer when these changes are predictable.

To make money with this method, players must accurately make a prediction as to how a future or current game update or other in-game event will affect item prices in the future. A player will buy as much as possible of an item when they think it is at a low point and sell it when they think it is reaching a high point.

'Investing': This involves predicting an item's long-term price trend and then acting upon it.
